Keith will probably be able to identify this outback Queensland town, snapped in 1978. It could have been Charleville or Cunnamulla. Time stands still in outback Queensland.

It's Cunnamulla, although I think the building and sign was gone by the early 1990s. I don't have much to contribute to this - I was born in the mid 70s and didn't get my hands on a camera until 1988.

fantastic photos guys! I was too young to take pictures in seventies, but really enjoy seeing your pictures here.

I guess I missed this thread when it first came up. I have been scanning a lot of my 70s negs, and putting them up on Flickr, here:

Some great stuff here. I recall the 70s very well but was too young to have my own camera. It was a looooooooong time ago!

Very nice, Lynn! You'd be a brave man to shoot Kodachrome 25 indoors here in the UK...

This is a wonderful thread with hundreds of amazing images. WOW.
Thank you all.

I remember as a kid the beer they are drinking, 'KB' in a steel can. Standard fair at any 70's BBQ. As kids we used to call it 'Kids Beer'. People would refuse to drink it these days!

Thanks for the memories mate 🙂
