The sideburns! The polo-neck! Some of those faces in that clip look familiar, and Mr polo-neck is Joe Hallam? (who I think was in No.96 which my parents never let us watch when we were little), so I'm guessing it's a mix of entertainers and sports people...

While I was timewarping on Youtube, I found this clip someone did while they were driving round Sydney in 1969. My parents moved from Sydney to Canberra the year after that. It looks so different than it does now, and I wish the traffic were going to be that light when I do the day trip to Paddy's Market next weekend...
