Title: Myer windows Post by: mcl1959 on January 01, 2016, 04:40:06 PM Don't know if any Victorians have had a chance to see the Myer windows this year, certainly the non-Victorians probably haven't.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Myer windows display and the theme was Melbourne in 1956 (http://s11.postimg.org/ecvg841dr/image.jpg) ($2) (http://s11.postimg.org/eblieozjz/image.jpg) ($2) (http://s11.postimg.org/jyhvc622n/image.jpg) ($2) There is a man proudly cleaning his brand new red and white FE sedan. There is a is a two tone blue FE sedan parked behind an FJ. And there is another red and white FE passing a tram. We went in this morning (no crowds) and it was brilliant. The story was "little dog and the Christmas wish" which is set in the 1950's Ken Title: Re: Myer windows Post by: DJ on January 01, 2016, 11:44:29 PM That's terrific Ken.
I've only ever seen one of the Myer window displays since they started in Melbourne. Did they have anything in the displays recalling the '56 Olympics?
