Opening shot is of Kings Cross fire station in Sydney; however every landscape after that is of Melbourne, Collins St , Elizabeth St and Swanston St.
Note in particular the trams (not the Sydney design), 1:23 the Flinders St Station clock , 1:15 is 82 Collins St cnr of Swanston st, and 1:50 the Melbourne Manchester Unity building, 2:44 is the Bank of Australasia cnr Collins and Queen Sts - the tree is still there but a lot bigger, 3:03 is definitely The Australian Club 110 Williams St Melbourne, all of which are still standing.
