Shot on 8mm film in 1967, this aerial footage captures Brisbane, Australia, from an airplane window. The sequence reveals a sprawling suburban landscape with dense rows of houses, winding roads, and patches of greenery, transitioning to a rural industrial site with large tanks and structures. The grainy, slightly faded color palette and visible film borders evoke a nostalgic, home movie aesthetic. The camera glides smoothly over the city and surrounding areas, offering a rare glimpse of mid-century urban development and infrastructure.
