there are films made by the nsw roads board or nsw department of transportation sprinkled around youtube about road building in nsw. the oldest iv found date from the late 20's.

Born Albury in1957 remember the hume travelled it often after i got my licence billy Hughes corner north of town claimed a lot of lives in the early days crossed the Tarcutta bridge many times it was an experience you dont forget

It’s a wonder that the states or colonies didn’t have left and right hand drive vehicles to match their different gauge railways I never really understood why it took so long to get out of the Sydney area until they built the freeway to Goulburn when you look at the height of bridges imagine what it would have been like with horses and other animals whoops better look around for another route

Interesting information thank you

I lived in Albury in the early 1970's and my father opened the Albury Travelodge, now I believe its the Atura. We still call in regularly, and have stayed more than a few times on the way south (or returning north). Thanks for a reminder of what the roads were like in the past

Thanks for that, very interesting. Being from Yass, I can tell you that the road in the left photo at 30:00 still follows that path with the bend, creek crossing and hill climb. A lot more houses in the view these days though...

Used to love the drive from Wollongong to Canberra when I was a kid in the 70's. Up Macquarie Pass (that scared the crap out of me back then) thought Robertson and Moss Vale then onto the winding Hume and stop off at the cafe across from the park in Goulburn. Loved going through all the tiny old towns and looking out for roos that were common, was bush straight to the side of the road on the old Hume. I got to drive it a few times going to and From Adelaide before the Goulburn and other bypasses in the late 80's early 90's when it mainly single lane. Wasn't too bad if you weren't a fool. Boring now.

Really enjoyed this production. Very enlightening.

keep up the good work greg

Watch every second of the video. I think I might join the Historical Society. Inspirational. Thank you.

Happened ro be a thick fog on day of inspection

What a fascinating piece of history to be shared! Thank you :-)

Well done Greg! I have found all the info on the Albury & District Historical Society truly enjoyable. I have moved back up North again now, but I check the site out occasionally and learn something new and interesting each time. Cheers!

Fascinating. My grandparents had a farm very close to the junction of the 2 rivers ,My uncle knew where it was . I would be interested in seeing where his property was . He was a soldier settler I believe . He came from Wodonga.

My grandfather had a farm just down from the current road that goes up to Bethanga. I have been looking for something like this for ages. Thank you vey much I skipped over bits but will watch it all when I get a chance.

Great video, thank you very much. My 4x great-grandfather, Luke Everitt, was Albury's first builder, commencing business in 1845. The family owned land on Dean & Guinea streets, and later several of his children became proprietors of some of Albury's early hotels. I learned a lot from this video.

Oh please correct that record we all live and die very sacred place , much appreciate you witnessing and speaking for those who can't 🙏

Can you advise if anyone has authored and published a book, detailing the construction of Hume Dam?

Does have a plaque now, and is limited 20 tonnes now. Still a great video on how it was built, thanks.

Many migrants recall the challenging and hard times at the camp.. some ran away , some were lucky the stayed only a few weeks there. Sone refuse to speak about their time there to this day.

No mention when gates were added to increase capacity the township of Tallangatta (old) was flooded Tallangatta was moved to Bolga where the name was changed to Tallangatta

Very interesting

Great video.

Thanks Bruce and A&DHS, what a great series. So great to be yanked by the collar and see where we live through a different lens, to a have light shone on how things evolve. What a wonderful resource.

Thank you for the very informative tour and information. Hope there will be more to come in the future. James Fallon was my Great Great Uncle and the brother of Edwin (my GG Grandfather) and Patrick all of who were also pioneers of the district and buried in the Albury Pioneer Cemetery.

Thanks. Nearly died of excitement.

As much I'm proud of the challenges that were faced and met.... I want to see the river run free...

Very informative, the more we learn about the history of early settlement by the white fella the more we realize how much the first nation people suffered from our merciless invasion.

Neighbourhoods with their own needs and character. Would be interesting for Council to revisit this and take into account when approving developments.

Excellent thanks!

Very interesting, thanks

Nice. Christopher Columbus has alot to answer for. Lol

Brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed it
