The Wilsons in 1978-79
Take a trip down Amnesia Lane. Filmed by Trevor Wilson in the second half of 1978 and into 1979. 0:00 Barbeque by the Waikato River, Hamilton 0:51 Opal Hot Springs, Matamata (we were regulars). "$18 for the two" has to be the quote of the film 1:30 Wholesale clothes shopping in Rotorua to sell at "Fashion Inn", Mum and Nana's shop in Cambridge 2:08 Rainbow Springs, Rotorua and A LOT of talk about lunch (Dad exercising his voice over skills in the editing process). Featuring Nana & Pa (Connie & Dave Linch) 3:16 Jan's 7th Birthday at 52 Boundary Road, Hamilton. Dad edited this song into the film but I replaced it with better audio. No question they were actually dancing to that song, though. Evidently cousin Delwyn wasn't a fan. Instead of a reprise of that song, I opted for silence. You're welcome. No copyright intended - settle down Sandie Shaw! 5:56 Brett's 5th birthday (no acting for the camera - genuinely stoked with that watch) 7:00 My Miropiko Kindergarten girlfriend Lisa Cameron and her brother Jason, who lived behind us on Brooklyn Road 7:44 A trip to Auckland to stare at a cruise ship (as you do in 1978... what the...?) 8:26 Pukekohe Racetrack - can't believe I look more interested than my brother who is reading a book 10:12 Brett whistling Do-Re-Mi from the Sound of Music (banger!) No copyright intended - settle down Julie Andrews! 10:41 Brett fallen out of bed 10:59 Warren & Anna Young's house on Ellicot Road, Hamilton 11:06 Fishing trip to Mayor Island on John Cleaver's boat (owner of Opal Hot Springs) 11:42 Auckland Harbour - a protest banner can be seen as the Nuclear Submarine USS Pintado has docked. I could smell the uranium on my breath (David Lange anyone?) 11:59 Ross' 9th birthday with friends Chris Sherman, Dion Astwood and Andrew Unternahrer 12:24 Some Apostolic Church event probably in 1980 or '81
