This video from 1969 shows a different era of trade with
bustling sales of materials in J shed. A number of traders can be recognised
and we wonder if anybody knows the young men sitting on the back of the truck
later in the video.
The video can
be found here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=EptuF_nL1hQ#t=611 The video starts 10 minutes in for the QVM bit but the rest of it gives a pocket view of many aspects of Melbourne in 1969.
Thanks to Matt Ryan for revealing this interesting footage.
