That is cool, must have used some power for the thousands of filament bulbs, is that coles and woolies next to each other?
It would be a good picture to step into and spend a night in but i bet coles and woolworths are shut.
looks like good days, everyone is out in town but no traffic.

Great photo Mickus,

D'you reckon it was taken in the 60s? I can't see a post 57 car in the photo, the Chrysler Royal is a 57, Vauxhall a 55/56 and no FCs as far as I can tell.

My guess is 1957. What do you think?

Cheers
John

To be honest I just assumed it was 60s because of the caption under the picture in the article.........and to be brutally honest I was far to busy getting lost in the moment to even start trying to pin point an exact year.............it certainly is a dreamy scene.......
