So much Beenleigh history has been lost to development or just neglect. It's a real shame. You showed this change in a very sensitive, pensive way. Thank you, Rob
Thanks Rob. A lot of effort went into this. Sadly Beenleigh is almost unrecognisable from the past, it could been "Anytown", Australia. barely anything preserved or highlighted.
I loved there for a big chunk of my life into my 20’s. It’s a soulless town with few redeeming qualities left. Quite a lot of the smaller heritage buildings were actually moved to the Beenleigh Historical village and museum, including that little church and train station
Thanks Rob. I have been watching for a while and as I grew up in Beenleigh from 1976 to 1986 you have brought back many fond memories of my childhood. I still feel like Beenleigh is home and one thing I can tell you is the people from Beenleigh are still the honest straight shooters I fondly remember.
G'Day Rob, Thank you for taking the time to piece together a trip down memory lane. I guess progress is inevitable, however it is still disappointing to see how past administrators and planning "experts" steered the towns development. I will enjoy watching your other productions and as a new subscriber look forward to future videos. Cheers.
@@walkaboutwithrob My then and now videos haven't received as much love. But I guess it makes sense, as your channel is very history-focused, so more of your audience has an interest in it. No matter what, I'm always happy to see people that put in the work - as you do - seeing success. 🙂
@@walkaboutwithrob They are doing pretty well in terms of views, but another thing I'd love is the amount of engagement you have. But as far as Brissie-themed channels go, I think we're both doing alright. 🙂
My great grandfather lived in a house on kent street opposite the police station .was a real old house there a long time .nit sure when built .it is no longer there now though

@OLICIT yes that's right, thankfully many of the old buildings and homes have been saved.

Awsome job yet again Rob keep up the great work mate really enjoy your videos
Absolutely brilliant 👍🏽
Such as lovely collection of the story of Beenleigh. I remember how it was In the 70’s and 80’s, particularly. 😊
Me too 😊
Thank you so much for all that you do to help preserve the history of the areas you visit. All I can say is keep up the good work.
I must admit you do put together a great video. Enjoy your work Rob. Thank you.

The place looked so much better in the past compared to how it looks today.
Lot of great old photos there. A few of the old buildings at The Historical Centre but can remember a few. Thank you.
Beenleigh boy here. Really cool to see this. Thanks Rob.
Some great old photos. I know progress has to happen, but I sometimes think it's not always for the better.
Thank you I really enjoy all your videos.
@Lee Ashton thanks indeed!
awesome work keep it up
@wayne bell thanks mate!
Excellent
Thanks Rob. Loving the memories of our history.
Great work, so many beautiful buildings have disappeared 😒
Awesome concept, love your work - Great channel. 🙂 Thanks Rob 👍
Appreciate your efforts.

@rachel gilmore hard tracking some of them down! Thanks for watching!
Awesome
Always great research Rob.... well appreciated as usual.
Have you ever covered the Southside suburbs of Macgregor and Sunnybank previously ?
Cool 👍👍👍👍
Wow, this one's done well. Congrats (admittedly a little jealous, though)!
@THE Brisbane Channel many thanks indeed, but why are you a little jealous?

@@BrisbaneChannel From what I've seen your two then & now videos are doing very well. They are certainly much better made than mine!

Didn't see Bethesda Lutheran Church - 81 City Rd but otherwise 👍
Where I was baptised and my children as well. I was born 1966.
Great photos did you know the church still exists it’s down at the Beenligh historical village
@Jezza D yes I know it's down there. Have been in it a few times. I wish it was back in its original place.
Great research. Very poor 'progress' for qlds past
My great grandfather lived in a house on kent street opposite the police station .was a real old house there a long time .nit sure when built .it is no longer there now though
Hey Rob, just wondering if you lived in Beenleigh yourself
@Christopher Hoare I currently live in Beenleigh
Glad that some buildings are still standing.
Change is good (no it’s not)
Very unrelated to it's past
