I moved into Ringwood resident 35 years ago from croydon south I thank you for your foresight to record this. History. Truely thankyou. My whole family lives local
Hope you enjoyed the run through & beyond the Warranwood area. I grew up to age 27 in 1977 there & still live nearby (Wantirna Sth) and took my camera around for this nostalgic look at how things were evolving into the 80s at the time, to show my former next door neighbour who’d moved to Qld. Cheers & thanks for commenting - RC
Hi 👋 Thanks for viewing and commenting. Yes, a lots changed around the old stamping grounds in 35 years. I grew up nearby in Grandview Grove (Bemboka Rd) not far from Wonga Rd. If you haven’t already, you might find something of interest if you’d like to check out Ringwood & District Historical Society’s Facebook Page via the following link. We’d also love to be able to read a paragraph, page or more of any memories you might like to post there. Cheers, RC facebook.com/groups/209149272575689/?ref=share
Thanks Rob. As a long term resident I sure enjoyed the ride. Being an old Croydon Resident I used the Wonga Rd/Plymouth Rd route many times! Thanks for sharing!
I grew up on Crossman drive and can see the house in the footage, except we moved into it around 1986/87 I think. My parents still live there to this day. Most of the roads and layout heading into Ringwood remained the same until the very late 90’s. Gatters Rd I remember driving on in 2004 and it was still unsealed and looked identical to 1983. Next to Warrenwood park, a kinder garden was built a few years after this video. I remember going there.
Hi 👋 Thanks for commenting but have to report that your year level Carter student isn’t related. I don’t know if that’s good or bad news financially, criminally or otherwise historical in any way 😅
I grew up in Heathmont 50 years ago. Great memories and i very much remember Ringwood like it was yesterday. Does anyone remember the little kiosk next to the Ringwood train station (early 70's). I used to get off the train after working in the city and it was either a delicious curried mushroom pie from the kiosk or i would scoot over to Eastland for a slice of cheesecake. 😊😊
Hi, thanks for commenting. Happy to report the reason for the video was to send to my former Grandview Grove (Bemboka Rd) next door neighbour I grew up with to show him the changes since he’d moved to Qld around 1970. I had no idea of it possibly being looked back at this far into the future but glad I took it. Still detour past the old stamping grounds occasionally coming across all the way from here in Wantirna SOUTH! Lol. Cheers, RC
Great video Rob I am 68 years of age and grew up in Ringwood Street Ringwood and went to RingwoodTech I have fond memories of riding my bike around all those areas on this video as a 16-year-old very sorry to hear that daisies hotel has been demolished I spent many hours in my dad‘s car while he was in the public bar and nearly burnt his brand-new Holden to the ground by pushing in the cigarette lighter which didn’t come out lucky he was in the window Area of the pub and saw the smoke ha ha I was only about six years old then
Thanks for commenting.

This is excellent to see as I currently live in the area and it’s strange to see it so long ago! From the looks of things my street doesn’t even exist yet in the video but many other things I recognise still exist today!
This is terrific. My family moved to Warranwood (closer to the Ringwood-Warrandyte Rd end though) in 1993 when I was 13, so my knowledge and memories of this area start from then. But of course, a lot has changed even since then! Ringwood Station as seen in your video was largely identical to how it looked when I first started travelling through there by bus and train as a high-schooler. I spent a lot of time at that bus stop waiting for the 300, 364, 366... haha. I have good memories of Eastland shopping centre, too. Back then, the food court was where the building ended, but now it's the very centre of a very fancy complex! It's amazing how little Maroondah Hwy had changed around that area until only recently - Ringwood really took its time getting its act cleaned up!

Thanks for commenting. I grew up in Warranwood when it was a very rural area. Our property minus the house is still there - now occupied by St James Anglican Church at 21 Bemboka Road. My Dad grew flowers cherries and berries there up until the C of E bought the property in 1977. The house remained for several years after that until they eventually built the current church in front of it before knocking it down a few years later. Cheers :D
Thanks for posting this, memory lane indeed. Once a resident of Wonga Road, did lots of hooning in my mini around these roads. What ever happened to wiper vanes? They were to “must have” accessory and definitely made the wipers work better …. (mmmm…not 😎) . Have been living in the UK and now Queensland ever since … all a distant memory .
Thanks Rob, a fabulous video. We lived in Merrill Crescent in the 80's. Have forwarded to my children. Sure it will bring back many memories. BTW the Big W was a bit of fun, especially hitting the bottom at a rate of knots!
I live in Merrill Crescent Croydon HIlls and I'm interested in finding out more about the history of the area. I know that Merrill Crescent originally joined onto Plymouth at both ends (now a walkway for the eastern side). I was able to get a rough idea of the stages of Croydon Hills from old Melways, but that's about it.
Hi Adam, Thanks for viewing and commenting. There's a Facebook page called Historic Wonga Park if you're doing any research of your 3xgreat-grandmother's time living there. Sorry I don't have a link, but shouldn't be too hard to find in a Facebook search. Best wishes ... RC
This is awesome! I've always wondered what everything was like back in the day. I live in Lyric Court and you actually mentioned it!! Couldn't believe it. Thanks Rob :)
Hi Nick, Glad you like it. I've just sent you a Facebook friend request in case you'd like to get in touch with my former next door neighbour who lived in the house shown in the video where Lyric Court is mentioned.

Iceland had some good bands on a Saturday night. Hush was memorable, and saw Mental as Anything just as they were starting out, they were playing pretty much only Beatle covers, no originals that I can remember. Pretty sure I saw Dragon there also. I was 13 at that time. A long time ago 😟
@@michaeledwards8058 That’s cool. My sister liked Suzie Q at the time. I can’t remember for sure but I think I saw Dragon perform at Iceland. I only went to a few live band events at Iceland because I was a bit young to be going there on a Saturday night when the place was packed out. It cost a fair bit extra too when the big bands were playing. When the Mentals were playing almost no one was there, they were a totally unknown band at that time. But I remember sitting only metres from them and appreciating how good they were, even though I was not into Beatles music. Hush was good because they included big flame throwers at the side of the stage shooting flames up into the air. Good music too.
@@aussie8114 those were the days. my brother had a garage opposite Iceland. that was our Friday and Sat night and of course the Croydon and the drive in theatre
Hi Rob, Just wondering the approx date in 1983 this was filmed because the 2 girls walking along the road about 20mins in, look like myself and my friend at the time. Weird, remember the same clothes, same hairstyles same build and we use to walk a lot around there. Thanks
Hi Tracey, unfortunately I can’t narrow in any further on the date but I’d say you would’ve been the girls on Brysons Rd that day based on your description! Nobody’s likely to contradict that claim now anyway. Lol 😂 Thanks for photobombing and thanks for viewing and commenting. (The cheque for your appearance fee is in the mail.) Cheers, RC Xx
Yes, a bit of a mystery Blake. Not sure what it is but definitely nothing permanent. Possibly something like infrastructure form work for nearby Croydon Hills subdivision happening at the time.
Great video Rob. When I used to go to my Grandmother's place up on the hills in Ringwood, the view downwards leading to the Maroondah Highway had a building type of place that was all white that always caught my eye. Seeing that video I can recognise that white place being on the Mount Dandenong Road near the turnoff on the Maroondah Highway. I wonder what that white building was?.
Kurt Flahavin Hi Kurt, The white building I think you’re referring to is probably The Club Hotel during its Tudor style facade era. Previously known as Daisey’s Hotel, it has been an icon of the Ringwood area since 1877 but has recently been sold and is to be demolished to make way for redevelopment including residential apartments.
Kurt Flahavin Correction: it’ll be demolished to make way for a retirement village. Check this link for more info. www.zenithfn.com/blog/5696/daiseys-hotel-east-ringwood-sold-for-future-retirement-village
Hi Rob. Thank you so much for replying to me. That is the building I was referring to. My Uncle told me nearly 30 years ago that white building was called the Big Billabong restaurant during its Tudor styled building years, but I wasn't sure when I saw the video. Seeing the pictures of that article you just showed me made me realize that the building has gone through a number of changes over its history. My Uncle used to drink at Daisey's numerous times. I didn't know that Daisey's was at once that old Tudor styled building. Thanks for telling me about the history of the old Tudor styled building Rob. I think it is sad that they may demolish Daisey's, it's an important part of Ringwood's history.
Kurt Flahavin There’s a lot more info on the hotel and Ringwood if you’re on Facebook. As well as historic photos of the hotel and Ringwood in general, there’s lots of members comments on their recollections of Daisy’s/Club Hotel, and Ringwood’s other historic hotel still operating, “Coach and Horses”, (The Coach). facebook.com/groups/209149272575689/?ref=share
Very interesting. As a kid lived in City road Ringwood and Adele court Ringwood, not very good memories, but now as a big boy built in Croydon North. It’s ok but would prefer to be further out away from neighbours.
Hi, Thanks for a great video , It brings back a lot of memories of when I was a kid,as I grew up in North Ringwood. Question what car are you driving in this video ?
