The world’s third tallest building, at 12 storeys, when it was constructed in 1889, this building dominated Melbourne’s skyline for decades.

At one time visible from anywhere in the city, the Australia Building, located at 43 to 49 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne City Centre, was also the first tall building to employ mechanical lifts (powered hydraulically by high pressure water pumped from the Yarra).

In 1980 its distinctive red facade and ornate roof was demolished for commercial office space.

Filmed after Queen Elizabeth's coronation celebrations on the 2nd June 1953, we can see traffic moving again and pedestrians in the street. We visit the Mall, Whitehall and Trafalgar Square amongst others, with the streets decorated for the coronation. The film ends showing us the bomb sites around St Paul’s Cathedral still awaiting rebuilding following the war. Please enjoy this 1953 time capsule. I posted this film originally on 4th June 2022, a couple of years ago now with no sound, now I've added some. Enjoy.
