Description:
Step into Sydney in the mid-1960s, a city racing towards the future while holding tight to its heritage. City of Millions, a NSW Government documentary directed by William M. Carty, captures this moment of transformation with sweeping aerial views of the harbour and bustling streets alive with energy. Peak-hour traffic streams across the Harbour Bridge, ferries glide through sparkling waters, and jetliners roar into Mascot Airport, connecting Sydney to the world. Inside the city’s core, industry thrives: banking halls hum with precision, textile workers craft fine Australian wool, and Holden cars roll proudly off assembly lines. The Sydney Stock Exchange buzzes with optimism as new technologies and petrochemical industries reshape the economy. Yet amid the rush, Sydney pauses for breath. Office workers lunch alfresco in sunlit parks, women play netball in the Domain, and music drifts through green spaces. Culture and learning flourish at Sydney Grammar, St James Church and the University of Sydney, while the Mitchell Library safeguards the city’s story. Change, however, is unstoppable. Historic buildings give way to modern towers like Australia Square and the State Office Block, while The Rocks braces for bold redevelopment. Across the skyline, the Gladesville Bridge arcs like a feat of engineering, expressways carve new paths, and on Bennelong Point rises the half-built Sydney Opera House, a daring vision of art and architecture. As night falls, neon lights beckon to Kings Cross, the State Theatre and the Rex Hotel, revealing a city alive with music, dining and glamour. This is Sydney: vibrant, ambitious and endlessly evolving. 👉 Recognise a face or place? Share your knowledge in the comments!
