12 Everyday Things Australian Did in The 1960s That Are Gone Forever

There was a time in 1960s Australia when the clink of glass milk bottles at dawn, the whirr of the rotary phone in the hallway, and the whole street knowing your name felt so normal you thought it would last forever 🇦🇺🕰️ From milkmen, drive-ins and corner shops with loose biscuits, to kids walking to school alone and only two TV channels everyone shared, this video dives into 12 everyday habits that quietly disappeared… and took a whole way of living with them. If you grew up in the sixties, you won’t just remember these things – you’ll feel them. 💌📺🚶‍♂️

Join us as we revisit the small routines that shaped childhood, family life and neighbourhoods across Australia, before 24/7 convenience, smartphones and online everything changed it all for good. Let the clink of bottles, the smell of photo envelopes from the chemist and the sound of your mum calling you in at dusk pull you back to a slower, kinder, more connected Australia – and tell us in the comments which of these lost rituals you’d bring back if you could 💭💔
