what was she going on about

Thank you so much for posting this stunningly awful video. It is a critically important historical document. I had purchased an Amstrad PC from their Beaumont Street shop a few days before Christmas and on the day of the Earthquake I had driven from Lake Macquarie to Beaumont Street to get a replacement boot disk. As I walked around the corner about to enter Beaumont Street a Policemen put his arm out to stop me and said something like "Where do you think you're going?" I was just about to tell him about my computer problem when I looked up and saw the awful damage. The only way you could describe Beaumont Street was that it looked like it had been hit by an Earthquake. I was literally gobsmacked, turned around and left. I had had no idea that there had been an Earthquake until I saw it with my own two eyes. When I had arrived the the place was devastated but there was a sense of order with the Police presence and the rescue personnel. But, watching this amazing video shocked me again, much worse when I saw it with my own two eyes an hour or so after the quake had hit. Very upsetting.

So when this hit I was makeing the 8865 - lego on the dinner table, in the morning - I saw the wall twisitng of the house and thought ok - I have finaly lost it. Loud rumble sound. Everyone went into the street. It is the only time I have seen every one walk out of thier house and be in he street.

So Brendon and I got on our bikes and went around newcastle when it was all close off to look around - very quiet very sureal.

This is such valuable footage. Hopefully an IT person or company can take this on to help it safely remain as a record of what was happening. I was in Melbourne and trying to contact family, which we managed to do & confirming their safety, just before the telephone exchange collapsed. Thank you for posting.

This is very Historical footage a place just getting over christmas not aware what is going to happen next

Before 10:27 after that all hell broke loose

Those trains have only just been decomissioned

I remember the Newcastle quake. Weeks before it I experienced a tremor. I use to live near Robertson. Our house rattled for a few seconds!

What have they done?

Thanks for this Video - Shared/Scheduled

Great History - Shared/scheduled

As a young boy of about 12 years old in the early 1960/s, myself and another boy, used to go to the Sandgate Cemetery Station every Saturday morning. This was when the Assistant Station Master from the Sandgate Station, each week, used to come up from the station to clean the cemetery station in preparation for the Cemetery Train that would come from Newcastle Station with mourners. While he was cleaning, we would ride his Ganger's three-wheel pump trike or a Ganger's 4-wheel pump car (depending on which he had) up and down the track about an hour. Great fun. The track levers shown in the video operated the points for the siding (where the rails deviate from the main incoming line which can be seen in the video), so that when the train came in from Newcastle, it could be put onto the siding and reverse ends to allow it to then be at what was the rear end of the carriages, which now become front when leaving the station to go back to Newcastle. On the Sandgate Station end of the line, which is not explored in this video, the railway line used to come up from the Sandgate Station. The two rail lines were never removed and parts of them are still visible. Some of the newer graves have been dug right up the edge of the rail line, and the right of way (easement) and a cutting are still visible. While some of forestation has grown, it is still imaginable how the rail line met up with the Great Northern line adjacent to Sandgate Station (which can't be seen now).

Good Reporting on the School - Shared/Scheduled

Nice Video - Shared/Scheduled - Did you do any video of the old Williamtown Public School?

Great Video - Schared/Scheduled

This is about the new parking ticket system not actually the opening the carpark station as it was officially opened in 1964

Formerly the Dennison Street Tram Depot - a long history.

1983 was the last to use film for news reports it was from 1984 on wards they use video

There was one in the 70s as well

they were still using two letters and four numbers in 1964 i think it wasn't until 1967 they started to use six numberd from then on

Rather sad little protest. 1971 was my last year at school (Whitebridge High). Conscription was clearly ending and the last Australian soldiers left Vietnam before I had my HSC results (from memory). The war carried on for a few years, and South Vietnam survived for a while after the Americans left. My children have only a vague awareness of the war, and my grandchildren will have none.

My whole family grew up in carrington we moved suburbs in the late 2000s loved carrington growing up

great footage, soundtrack is crap tho :)

In hindsight I know now this was one of the places me and my sister were dumped for the day. A parent free zone with plenty of pocket money for cola coolers, pluto pups and hot chops. Red skins and sherbet cones. Pristine clean blue pools. No chance of getting dumped by a wave or caught in a rip. The diving pool was a bit scary but thrilling. A blue heaven in the middle of suburbia. It's a bit different now. It's even more joyful. The pluto pup kiosk hasn't opened up yet this year. In a couple of weeks I'm told .

Rutherford on the railway bridge near Monte Pio. Right at the end I think that is smoke from the abattoirs chimney stack.

What a cool place, never knew about this. I take it it's not operating anymore?

when they were young 'uns my two boys loved visits to this place...I hear it's back running once a month now

Funny i live 10 minutes down the road

It will always be Waltons to me.

Those Ford Falcons had an enormous boot

Thanks for posting. Or should that be thank’s 😜😜😜😜😜

I missed this protest. I was too busy defending my country from communism whilst serving in the Australian Army in Vietnam.

1965 or 1966 - no earlier, no later.

If you are talking about several Fords driving around they are NOT "Ford's". THERE IS NO APOSTROPHE! They are NOT Ford's!

LOL. students are good at “protesting”

Great footage. More like early to mid 60s going by the model which was new at the time.

notice on the corner of Maitland Road and Vincent street no trucks since the hunter expressway opened

@6:50 Old mate in the SS thinks he owns the road

This looks like a failed Stepford Wives lab! Definitely weird poses!
