    I'm strangely starting to feel quite emotionally attached to Beenleigh thanks to your videos. Maybe a visit and a walkabout needs to happen

      @Brad Griffin thanks mate. I just want to make sure I get it right. Personally I cannot stand historical inaccuracies.

      @@walkaboutwithrob I wouldn't worry about the "historical inaccuracies" Rob. Pretty hard to hear 'em over the overdone background Musak! 😉
      Do enjoy the added historical photos and maps as usual though. 😊

      @@theoztreecrasher2647 I was wondering whether it was just my audio. Volume of the background music plus just a tad too loud so it made trying to follow the dialogue a bit difficult for me.

    We moved to Beenleigh in 1976. It was a town strong on agriculture with a rich German (Prussian) settlement history.
    My friends owned farmland on Albert Street and in the 1970’s still had sn old house and outbuildings. Precious.

    Thank you for this - I have just discovered your videos and think they are great! My grandmother was born & grew up in Syria St Beenleigh, her parents both arrived from England in the mid 1870s and settled in Beenleigh, my great grandmother was a school teacher at one of the early schools. So I found this video very interesting and I think you have another on Beenleigh which I will also check out. I love the history of our SEQld areas. Would you do one on The Gap as its quite an interesting place too and where I grew up.

      @ahhigiveup Many thanks indeed! Yes, I am very keen to explore The Gap area and make a video. I know nothing about it but I'm sure there's some interesting stories to be uncovered.

    There’s a beautiful old restored house called ‘Red Wolf’ on Tansey st that must have a fascinating history. It stands out and locals will know it.

    I've lived in Beenleigh for 20 plus years and I ran Keatdo martial arts centre in the the old Uniting Church on Corner George St &, Alamein St, Beenleigh
    I'll be the last business to use the old church before it's torn down
    We used the church for 12 years so in a way my students and I are apart of Beenleigh history
    We will miss our second home
