Thanks Richard, the site says it was made in 1947. I remember those streets
and parks near the beach from the late 1940s. Apart from the great shots of
buses and playground equipment - like none now, the incidental shots of
trams, Os, Ps and Rs make this worth viewing in tdu context. The cricket in
Gould St, behind Bondi Beach public school reminded me of similar games -
or billycart races down hills, all over Bondi.

A slightly later Road Safety Council film from the archives- approx
1949-50., called "J.A.Y Walker Deceased" is highly recommended. It
highlights bad behaviour with respect to Sydney trams but accidentally
shows why they were so good loading and unloading. It starts with the
unused trolley bus wiring in Macleay St Potts Point. I think you can still
buy cakes from the fatal cake shop there. In the 1960s it was called the
Croissant D'Or.
