My Pal. 1924.
A rare discovery in the vaults of The National Film And Sound Archive Australia; My Pal, 1924, made by the Atlas Educational Film Co, with 'Smiling' Ralph Mulford. An industrial/educational film made to highlight the Cleveland Six motor car, sponsored by the Cleveland Motor Car Company. The film is more dramatic than educational and features the motor car racer, Ralph Mulford, touring the Rockies. There are views of the Garden of the Gods and the Cliff Dwellings. At dusk the auto party sits listening to the radio which brings word that Mulford's travelling companion, Dr Kimball, is being sought to care for a child who lies in critical condition in a Denver hospital. Ralph Mulford must get Dr Kimball to the hospital 100 miles away through landslide-blocked roads at night. The peak is crossed in a blizzard and Dr Kimball is able to perform the operation successfully. The grateful parents thank the doctor and driver but Mulford indicates that any gratitude should belong to his pal the Cleveland Six parked outside. My Pal, is a 35mm diacetate film source scanned at 4K with original hand tints preserved.

Not a 4x4 duel cab ute in site. Even the farmer drove a sedan.
Hard now to find a fish and chips shop that sells the long bone fish,i ate them when in Hobart long long time ago when I was young 😂
My Dad learnt to fly in a Chipmunk at Parafield Airport late 1950's. Spent my childhood at the Aero Club in the late 1960's, Parafiled Airport was a hive of activity. Great memories. Mum learnt to fly in a Cessna 150 too!
Been there done that !!! Sixty years ago,, several hundred hours in the Queen of the Skies and with loads of amazing experiences! ! !
Good times. A simpler happy life. Plenty of work and in general a healthier population. It was nice to see the city hall steps before they were covered by the roof of the King George carpark!
Everyone gets a paper from Don the paper man in the Vauxhall? Maybe it was the free weekly local rag he was chucking. Life was more simple back then, more relaxed, uncomplicated and a happy life without the pressures we have today. One would have a coronary today to see the real estate prices on the northern beaches of Sydney! How about a repeat of the film, this time out in western Sydney?
most of the things in the video are still performed in my own place in India :)
🇮🇳🔑🏏🧑🔧🥇🥇👩🏼❤️💋👨🏼👩🏼❤️💋👨🏼🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️

The young blonde woman in the video is actually Elspeth Ballantyne who played Meg Jackson in Prisoner.
I haven’t been but we in NSW understand that Perth is still like t that 😊
A time before corporate sponsorship to gamble your families life savings away while intoxicated on terrible beer at a sports event, where did the VFL get all its money?
Perhaps someone can restore this the way they've been doing with a lot of other historical film on youtube, with colour and 60fps
Poor animals. people mainly killed them because they saw them as pests. These creatures were an apex predator that never harmed humans because they were also smart, people are fucking dumb 🙄
So wonderful to watch loved this ! Sydney ❤
Just so lovely this time ❤
One of the few videos where Russell “Big Chief” Moore is featured on trombone. He replaced Trummy Young in 1964 and was later replaced by Tyree Glenn in 1965. I always loved Billy Kyle’s accompanying on piano.
Steriods just came out during his time. Look at the guys in the 60s and 70s. Holy moly.
'Driving in this kind of traffic is never pleasent.' So true.
imagine being in love in this time period- going out to live music, how electric it must've felt to go & enjoy a band when entertainment was much less accessible and art was highly revered. ♡ beautiful video. I know a few older people/relatives who clearly still live in this time and haven't 'moved on', and while that can be frustrating; I really don't blame them.
Fond memories of my teen years in Newcastle, great town, great people and great to grow up in. I lived in Mayfield and Wallsend, considered rough areas at the time, but I had no problems. Take the odd sickie off work and head surfing at Stockton beach for a few days, a great life. Remember the Newcastle Permanent Building Society advert jingle from the 1970's? "Hey this is our town..."😉
Not a mobile phone in sight!
Cocos is bit Paradise
I spent my teens in Newcastle NSW, great town, great people and I made a lot of great mates, thank you Newcastle!😉
Such a shame politicians let developers vandalise this beautiful city.
The St Kilda guernsey looks much better with no cross on it. There never was a saint named Kilda.
That was the year all the spikes were lopped off the perimeter white fence at the MCG. It's why the fence looks odd today, with nubs where the spikes once were.

I think that's Elspeth Ballantyne who played Meg Jackson in Prisoner.
The legendary creature that inspired Ty the Tasmanian Tiger and the bizarre Australian horror comedy, Howling 3: The Marsupials.
And Victoria never fully recovered...
In 1979 when this video was filmed, "Old" Parliament House 2:25 consisted of 124 Members of Parliament (MP's) in the Lower House (House of Reps) and 64 Senators 17:58 (10 per state and 2 per territory) in the upper house (Senate); Government on the Right, Opposition on the Left. Today, "New" Parliament House consists of 151 MP's in the Lower House and 76 Senators (12 per state and 2 per territory) in the Upper House; Government on the Right, Opposition on the Left, Independent/s and Other Minor Parties in the middle (AKA: The Crossbench). It's amazing how much we learn about our own democracy regardless of how controversial our politicians really are when it comes to representing their constituencies.
half cat half wolf, prehistoric so much
Tasmanian Tigers are actually Marsupials
Good old days not now
Can't imagine having to cut down a Jarrah tree by hand. It's a nightmare just trying to split it for firewood.
Ayo, that's Bias B shooting salties! 😅😂
Why Tasmanian tiger । Why not dog । It looks like a dog lol
For some reason people in the renaissance always painted tigers as wolf-like animals. That's probably where the name here came from.
Straight up looks like some of the first mammals imagined to walk this earth…what a loss
No Cottesloe
7:27 modern building architecture with glass relatively new, around early 80's ?
Beautiful animals. I hope there is a viable population still living in Tassie's wilderness. If there is they deserve to be left in peace.
These tradesmen could support their family, buy a house and his wife could stay home if she wanted to raise their children. A carpenter now can produce close to 3x the amount of work, invests many multiples more in tools yet earns less in real terms. Where’s all the excess money going🤔
Real decent people.
I'm 71 now, it was such a long, long time ago.
Back when Australia was true blue Australian
Geez, Sydney traffic was even crap in 1964!
It was a lot nicer back then, no mobile phones or computers and everyone had a brain!
The Father of modern cricket ❤
And im pretty sure he just did the first ever drifts in a car
I saw this on your website
