Migration film - Adelaide

[Rachiegarlo]

This is so good, it's a classic, how could anyone not want to come after watching this.....

It's a classic all right! I just moved into a house that looks like it was used for the kitchen scene!

 

In the days when hoons drove beetles and Moris Minors!

Bloody brilliant find. Makes me wish I'd come here 30 years ago. (Would have been a damned sight cheaper as well).

What a nice short film!Scary for me though because we arrived 4 years later and I can remember it being pretty much like that.Those were the days when Rundle Mall was a "street",you could buy a bag of mixed lollies for 5c,(I used to get 20c pocket money and could bank half of that!)everyone drove holdens and ford's,families went to drive ins on a weekend in the summer(used to be packed solid,people were turned away!)and my parents brought their first house in Modbury for a whopping......$23,000!My brother brought a block of land for $200!!!!And me?I was too young to be buying land,but I spent a few summers riding my dragster,and spending all day at the local swimming pool!I loved Adelaide back then.It was alot different.

It's a classic alright. The house looks exactly like some of the rentals we've seen over the last few weeks!! The film was obviously made by someone desperate to make a 'proper' film, by today's standards it was so slow and long-winded. Must show it to my husband, should bring back some memories.
