So China stops stealing our lunch money in the world playground.
We have’nt finished building our new world yet. But we’re doing a bloody good job overall and many counties envy us.
We have nothing holding us back from showing the world how it’s done.
But for the sake of reminiscence. Let’s look at a snapshot from the 1970’s. What a sophisticated people indeed. A pillar of our civilisation.

The choice of clip for your reminiscence tells more of a storey about you I reckon than it does about the country...
The 70’s was a time of major change in so many positive ways, it didn’t suffer from the polarisation, political correctness, laziness both physically and mentally pandering to ideologies and fears that are pedalled today.
It also was a time of hardship for many with a recession, high interest rates, high unemployment and the beginning of the demise of Australian manufacturing due to cheap imports.
Histories free and at your finger tips these days, both the good and the bad.
