The old pics are cool. Are you able to get shots of the same locations as they look today. Interesting to see the comparison.
So wish I was around back then, life looked so much more relaxed

Ain't much the same here! Behind the garden is a "Resort" and behind the whole thing is "Parliment House" (you can see the corner of it in the second photo)
