Australian History, Early days - At Home and Play ( Our Century 1999 VHS Tape)

Travel back in time to Australia's glorious past! OUR CENTURY features rare documentary footage, long-forgotten newsreels, television shows, clips from private collections and magical home movies that bring you the real Australia _ an exciting and unforgettable portrait of our past that truly captures the spirit of our people. Join presenter Ray Martin as he takes a nostalgic look at a past that seemed much simpler and full of endless fun! Relive the barefoot wonder days of growing up _ Barbie Dolls, Meccano, train sets, billy carts and those first days at school. Remember the thrill of your first romance, the fun of drive-in movies and long days at the beach. Watch how housing styles changed across the years, as we pursued the dream of the quarter acre block. Recall how we sat around the wireless set - until television came along and changed everything! Turn back the clock to Six O'clock Rock and the days of Johnny O'Keefe, Normie Rowe, and The Easybeats. Take a ride in our earliest cars - remember the first Holden and the great Australian lemon, the much maligned Leyland P76! And see how we gradually conquered distance and the wonders of the world were brought closer by the growth of aviation.
