This clip shows a group of boys riding on the back of goats and children riding in billycarts down a street in Rockhampton, Queensland. The camera films them moving down the street and gathered in a group posing for the camera.
Curator’s notes
Newsreel items such as this provide us with a small snapshot of daily life as it was in the past. This clip captures part of a Rockhampton street in the 1920s, and an afternoon pastime – billycart riding – which is a long way from the way in which children entertain themselves today.
Thanks to the generosity of the rights holders, we are able to offer Billycart race from the newsreel Kiddies of Queensland Enjoy Outings in their Billy Carts: Rockhampton as a high quality video download.
To play the downloadable video, you need QuickTime 7.0, VLC, or similar.
