I was only a young child when this video was made and at the time we lived in Sydney. We moved to the Central Coast back in 2000 and, for the last 3 years, have lived in Woy Woy. I love it here and can definitely tell you one thing that hasn't changed since 1987 when the video was made--- you often still DO get the same cab driver more than once. I'm on first names terms with a lot of the guys, all of whom are pleasant and up for a chat.
So true. I'm from NSW (near Woy Woy actually) and I too recognise those shelters as being Canberian. Though, Wondabyne hasn't had that shelter for years - it's now a standard looking train station shelter.
2:08 - Some how Spike manages to catch a train from Wondabyne that pulls into Woy Woy from Gosford. An amazing feat ;-) I also like how at 2:38 he closes the V-set doors, despite them being semi automatic. Oh and finally, the bushland around Mullet Creek is definitely not Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park. It’s in fact Brisbane Water National Park. At least he got the part about Brisbane Water not being anywhere near Brisbane. ;-)
Wondabyne changed design now, according to a picture in wikipedia. but that white circle/blue room is actually like a bus stop, you can see some of those in Merrylands near the mcdonalds, by the way what is that documentary called? Tks.
It’s interesting to see at 3:29 how a man crosses the tracks and it’s just a normal thing to them
I remember watching this years ago. Although I was born in the city (Seattle, Washington USA), I grew up in the suburb outside that city. :)

Was at Gosford recently, they're getting new lifts finally
We have those shelters everywhere as bus stops in Canberra.

A documentary, because it is relevant.
It's in the title and description...
I saw a pic of this station on Facebook. I would actually go there just to take some photos and look around, quite a nice place from the looks of it.
Go for the day and take a walk to the cave. Take a few hours and is hot in Summer so be prepared.
If you have more please upload! I'd love to see old Spike gives us a tour of the place.

This is a great bit of local history. I've been trying to find a copy of the whole documentary somewhere. Any suggestions as to a source?

Yes the bus stop is still there! You can also see some on the south coast, Albion Park has some that are similar!
What is this and why did you upload this?
