My grandparents lived in Thirroul, my grandfather was a coal-miner with PTSD from fighting in WW1. They lived in a small weatherboard cottage that had an outdoor dunny and a view all the way down the south coast. Now it would be worth millions. My grandpa once took me to see the pit-ponies that were still grazing near the mines. People had tough lives back then but for a child, Thirroul was a paradise. Thanks for bringing back some memories.💞
Thanks so much for sharing. It would have been so nice to grow up as a child in Thirroul with those views to the coast. Seeing the pit-ponies grazing near the mines would have been quite a sight🙂
@@Adventurebeatz We used to go down to the rock pools all the time - they were fabulous fun for kids and hardly any people around in those days - we had all that space pretty much to ourselves - but my grandparents were dirt poor and lived a very frugal life. Travel to and from Sydney back then was via steam train - it seems incredible now. Wonderful channel and thank you!😊
Great pictures. They help to remind us all how hard people worked to build Australia in such a short time. They had such boundless faith in the future and felt so safe within the Empire. Things are much more uncertain today. My parents were born in 1913 and 1914 and they grew up in much of this era. They were always so proud to be Australian.
This was marvellous, thank you. It's fascinating to see the solid, good-looking buildings in even small towns, as well as in the cities, to see which towns had trams, to see advertisements for services and products that are no more. I'm going to view it again, this time hitting Pause when I want to linger for closer study.
Thanks so much for your comment, I am really glad you enjoyed it. It is interesting to see what services and products were advertised in many of the towns and on transport at the time.
Excellent compilation..The Wollongong farmhouse captured at 11:45 is located in West Wollongong and named Keera Vale. Basically in the foothills of Mount Keira and Escarment. Originally constructed in 1840's, recently renovated by owners and is one of the area's oldest.
. You know one has problems when like myself I have an Australian Flag 🇦🇺 on a proper flag pole.. Well I’ve been told 7 times now to remove my Flag of my nation I love…A nation that 15 members of my family have all sacrificed their lives for this nation..Well I’ve got 3 days or it will be removed by force and cost myself $9,575.00 for the pleasure…Well I’m not a trouble maker …no not at all. But if I interfere with my flag being removed. The shire has said that I will get 3 to 6 moths Jail time. Well no one will Evan step foot on my property..Nothing a Cyanide capsule won’t fix…I’m serious and believe in my flag and my love for this nation Australia 🇦🇺.. So if they remove the flag after I attempt to stop them.. Well the government can then launch an enquire on what went wrong…My property my flag. Not one neighbour is offended not one…So I’m over this bullying tactic by a bloody shire… well if you believe in your cause you should always be prepared to fight and be prepared to sacrifice everything..Especially when no law or legal precedent is being used or nor am I committing an offence..🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Indeed, a great reminder of how much those coastal steamers were relied on for so much. Not only general and essential supplies (like the beer barrel boats) but also the role they played in bringing the raw mateials for the furnaces of industries.
Those parades and the time honoured tradition of the local horse racing Cups. What great community events they were for getting the townfolk together at least once year.
Terrific❤❤❤. Any photos from 1800s please..??!!! I see TARTARIAN TIMES... Buildings etc that were already here b4 CONVICTS supposedly built stuff. Including Trains... Interesting.. Thank you..
The port pirie picture of the railway station look pretty much the same as they have restored that end of town, and if you look above street level you can see the fantastic old facades, do teally like the streetscape of port pirie.
It is perfectly clear for anyone with eyes open that the bridge at 17.52 is the Old World structure and was already here when new settlers arrived. The bridge at 17.57 is all we were capable of building at that time.
That Suspension Bridge at Cammeray was constructed in the 1890's at which time Australia had been producing smelted Iron products for some 50 years. Wood was used where possible due to the numbers of timber getters and saw miling operations located almost everywhere.
@flamingfrancis yes, that is what our official narrative tells us. If it is the case then there must be a lot of records in regards to the construction of this bridge. Photos, plans, company that built it up, etc, etc. Have you found any? Please share with us. I'm not holding my breath though...
How quickly the establishment used to build back in the day. Now the masses are too plentiful, and wholly neglected. The Rum Corps still rule 🤔 especially in beautiful Tasmania.
This is good but half of the images are photos of the time and half are photos of watercolour paintings of the time. Either way it's all Australian history.

I have travelled this country and to see these picture of wat they used to some change and some don’t it bloody smazing thank you
Very enjoyable memories especially from Melbourne
Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed 🙂
Gotta love History
We had it all and blew it.
Wonderful to see these. I have visited a few but many more to go. 👍 Thanks
When Australia was still a promising place.
Nope it's over Australia has been destroyed. Too much immigration and capitalist property investors have gutted the country.
We’re doing better than other countries stop complaining putting our country down

@ besides I can’t put this country dowm.. Damm it’s bloody he@vy…
Before mass immigration & radical left governments.
I will always Iove a sunburnt country ❤
Lovely sentiment Linda
Will never forgot my first trip to Queenstown in Tas. Many good spots around that part of Tas.
Thanks loved the steamer ships and steam rail of the era 👍
Indeed, a great reminder of how much those coastal steamers were relied on for so much. Not only general and essential supplies (like the beer barrel boats) but also the role they played in bringing the raw mateials for the furnaces of industries.
It's taken me over 70 years, but I think I've been to about half those places.
Great you have been to so many, there are so many great places out there to be discovered.
Many memories of Burnie in Tas, would like to find the time to get back again
Cities and towns seem really alive. The new years day parades are really interesting.
Those parades and the time honoured tradition of the local horse racing Cups. What great community events they were for getting the townfolk together at least once year.
Hard times but better times than now.
Terrific❤❤❤.
Any photos from 1800s please..??!!!
I see TARTARIAN TIMES...
Buildings etc that were already here b4 CONVICTS supposedly built stuff.
Including Trains...
Interesting..
Thank you..
I will check. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks
@ 9:46, if you look closely in the left bottom corner, sit two Australian aboriginal men.
The port pirie picture of the railway station look pretty much the same as they have restored that end of town, and if you look above street level you can see the fantastic old facades, do teally like the streetscape of port pirie.
Melrose hasn't changed a bit.
It’s almost scary to me, like stepping back in time, looking at ghosts.

Grew up in Wynnum QLD..
Do u have photos of SPENCER STREET TRAIN STATION ???.
Its now SOUTHERN CROSS..
Its nothing like 5he ORIGINAL...
I miss the OLD..😢
I will have to check. There was something different about the old buildings.
All this change from then and now. One thing remained the same.
Melbourne still has the trams.
It's great they still have them
I don'y like the zooming slide show, it is harder to view each photograph. A wonderful collection.
2:55 are you sure that's Melbourne?
The government house is up on the right
Incredible how the migrants came here and built so many beautiful buildings, roads, railways and commercial endeavours from bush to what it is today.
This is good but half of the images are photos of the time and half are photos of watercolour paintings of the time. Either way it's all Australian history.
Look at it now....society going down hill.
I wish you didn’t do the unnecessary zoom in zoom out

Was amused at the steam locomotive still going operating through the floodwaters. Modern electrics would have stopped dead.
It is quite amazing. There is an interesting article online about the downpour of rain.
