- Parramatta - Sydney’s city within a city has always been home to some of Australia’s most important colonial history. But in modern times, the one-time breadbasket of the colony is re-inventing itself as a multi-cultural hub. Walking round Parramatta, seeing the faces on the street and feeling the buzz in the air is enough to convince Tony he’s seeing the future of Australia.
Absolutely Love Tony and not just because of Blackadder. He is one of the very few presenter's today who actually makes me feel genuinely happy and engaged when i watch him. I'm also curious if he might have lived in Australia part of the year as he seems to have a real interest in the history of the country and it's lifestyle and must have spent a fair amount of time here filming these episodes.
Taking food off people haha the guy looked angry hahaha
this stuff is fantastic , i love this stuff , its us..
I've stayed at Granville - literally next door to Parramatta. It remains the best town I've ever been in Australia. Brilliant programme Tony - so entertaining!
May I ask why, since I only sadly know about the Granville train disaster but I’ve never been to the town itself.
Lady Elizabeth was the expert in animals. She was probably the real brain behind the early Oz wool trade.
Loving this series Tony. Thanks a lot.
NSW Government... Please save Parramattas History... our Heritage... Do not sell to developers. Our History belongs to us all.
@Janys Haynes I agree. I dont want them to knock down any part of Parramattas History. That includes Willow Grove and St Georges Terrace
parramattatta, as we called it back in the day or parra!
Awesome video and thank you for sharing.
I like this city
11:33 I used to live a few blocks from Prince Alfred Park so seeing Tony there is a bit nostalgic for me. I loved living in Parramatta, such a vibrant area, and so close to everything.
Just grabs a chop and wanders off 🤣
He missed Parramatta Lake one of the oldest dams of it's kind in the world
our dad took us kids to parramatta lake up the road from Richmond back in the day and told us it was called lake Illawarra so he could have a couple of shouts at the tollgate hotel and still get us home before dark with mum thinking he'd driven all the way to Wollongong , I drive past the lake on JRD and laugh at the old mans antics god rest his alcoholic soul lol
As Sir Tony said Parramatta is becoming a multy cultural city, thats hilarious as it has been for 60 years or so, little India is a perfect name for it
It's such a shame Parramatta has knocked down so much of it's history
I agree. After knocking down the royal oak hotel too. It was over 200 years old:(
Dencof69 I live near it and walked past as they were knocking it down, I was pretty shocked. The whole area is a mess at the moment because of the light rail.
@@brucegawthorne4888 same here. Its really sad :(
@Graham Wood and @Bruce Gawthorne The Government are also trying to knock down St Georges Terrace and Willow Grove both very old (c200 years) places.
Dencof69 that’s horrible :(. They are definitely destroying the history of the area.
I had a fence paling from Cumberland Oval too, but Dad used it when he was doing some concreting in our drive.
My dad has a row of cumberland oval grand stand seats... and worked as a prison officer at parramatta gaol.
I love you, Tony, will you have my children? 😂😅❤❤
its actually translated to "where the eels lie down"

Did you see any junkies?

I must say, I'm disappointed that this program didn't head five minutes down the road towards Holroyd, where the remains of the old Brickworks still stand today.
These ruins were once a thriving business at the old Goodlet and Smith Brickworks, and many of the iconic building in the Sydney CBD owe their grand architecture to the company.
Sadly they are destroying all the charm of Parramatta. Skyscrapers and fancy hotels.
@ 8:07 indian with a nice red Turban. Anyone got any darts for me to get a bullseye?
Tony seems to invade women's personal space regularly and intentionally.I'm surprised this is overlooked.He's kind of a creep.This happens in almost every episode.
That's why he's so well respected in the industry?
Shut your tortfeasing mouth, you confected outrager
Yep he has some issues about him definitely
