Swanston St’s mostly car free nowadays so to recreate it they’d have to do so on the roof of a tram. With that being so close to the electrical wires above they’d be truly living the ACDC existence.

Love that vid as it reminds me of those simpler times rocking into town to hit Timezone, Darrel Lea and Hoyts, Capital, Russell or Village Cinemas armed with $20-$40.

Bloody oath, and the Coles Cafeteria and Myer basement plus the old wrought iron lift in The House of Merrivale and Mr John, the lino ramps in Myer on those bridges over Little Bourke St where they’d move stock around in giant wicker baskets on wheels. Yep, loved the music stores and loved the whole big wide world of city experiences back then when the shot tower stood alone and the city square was to become a risk to swimmers beneath the Burke and Wills statue.

Dirty Spencer St station

Dirty Flinders St station

It was a grimy place in the 80’s the CBD

Gee I remember sitting at the Old Cop Station looking at the failed Museum and the Vault across the Yarra to where the Casino is today

Melbourne was a dump in 1990

Not me, but wow that is just such a great song. Never grows old.

 

[Horace]

A very appropriate song for these times

True story
