My great grandfather was one of the master bricklayers who constructed Melbourne's shot towers. It was nice to see how the city one is being preserved.
Thank you so much for the upload. I hope they never modernise Flinders Street, I would be pretty pissed off it's the most nostalgic station in the city
My great great grandfather and grandmother were the first to come to Melbourne from Tasmania when there was nothing there. My grandfather was the first brick maker on the banks of the yarra and worked for John Pascoe Fawkner They came over from Tassie on the Enterprise
I saw the planned "redesign" for flinders street station from a 1961 VR newsletter, basically a bloody awful massive brutalist "box" concourse with flat plane glass and pebbled concrete, the side fascia of the building to be replaced by similar flat slabbing. The design ended up being used on the spencer st upgrade in the 60s, also a thing of the past. So thankful this edwardian masterpiece has survived.
Very entertaining indeed. Thank you. Obviously you put a lot of thought and work into this. I was just walking down Little Bourke Street at that exact spot where the chubby guy is standing on the left at 1:28! (on my way back from the bottleO around the corner in Exhibition for a quick Sunday afternoon pick me up!)
The last photo with AAMI Park in it used to have a greyhound track in that exact spot prior to the construction of the Citylink tunnels at the end of the previous millennium. I was also hoping to see what Bourke Street looked like before it became a mall between Swanston and Elizabeth Streets.
Love the music. Reminds me of the soundtrack of "Back to the future". Love the "morphing" between the then and now. For a book version similiar to this see Melbourne: then and now by Heather Chapman and Judith Stillman
I was hoping to see a photo of the corner of Swanston and Flinders before the large Cathedral was built, pre 1880, there was a blue stone church and some offices, stores and a corn market.
I love this; but I'm a pedant. This should be called Now and then; or the photo order reversed. I know .... I need to be shot for this comment; because it's a great deal of work which I really appreciate your doing. Thank you .. wait .. 2010? Wow. .... soz for the pedancy and thanks so much for the upload
a greek tragedy. all masked up. 8pm curfew. be a horror show. wait for the commonwealth to be restored. then it will be worth it. be much more pleasant.
Hey, I know this is an old video, but im doing some animation and was wondering if anyone could link me the pictures used so I can use them as reference. Thanks.

"Master bricklayer" lolol....Any fool can lay bricks.
@@mjh5437 A master bricklayer isn't a person who is a master at laying bricks...
The transitions and back to the future music really made this that much more enjoyable to watch. Well done!
One second in, instantly noticed the back to the future theme xD
Hahaha same! I noticed it so quickly but it's hilarious! 😂
I thought the Back to the future theme was "Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News? :P
Very good video l liked Melbourne then rather than now seemed piece full
Give me then over now - anytime.
This is amazing work. Loved it. The bttf theme is exactly the idea I was looking at doing. Magic
Watching in early 2019. Melbourne has changed so much since this vid was posted its amazing.
they have ruined it. very sad state of affairs. lest we forgot the past.
@@jesusislukeskywalker4294 Bullshit they ruined it. Melbourne is fantastic.
@@edmac3651 youre an idiot
Yep true.
@@edmac3651 i agree. It gets better and better
I absolutely love this video. Definitely one of my all time favourites. Well done.
I’m very much looking forward to seeing your video!

Thank you so much for the upload. I hope they never modernise Flinders Street, I would be pretty pissed off it's the most nostalgic station in the city
Great work, love it...
I wanna time travel back to that time for 1 -2 weeks.
I like this

Thanks for posting. Well done
Reminds me of back to the future
Amazing!
Loved the Back to the future music also
i ahte back to the future
@@irlforniteninja3182 You just replied to an 11 year old comment. How fitting it was regarding back to the Future
This type of video shows how much incremental change occurs over a relatively short time.
Great scott! Heavy!
Good work!
Quite funny that Melbourne was part of NSW until 1927. Explains a lot.
Umm Nope. Victoria was created in 1851. Melbourne is older but was the capital of Victoria in 1851.

you need to do a new one with all the new construction. I prefer the 20s.
Awesome pics.
When was then my guess early 1900's ?
Excellent work cheers
Good Job! Nice upload!!

wow 🎉
Could do another one now as so much has changed in 14 years
Station Pier, my fishing haunt as a kid.
Have been away 10 years but my heart belongs to melbourne.
barbara walker I've been away for 9 years and feel the same. Looking forward to coming home next April. For at least a visit anyway. Cheers.
lol back to the future makes me want to build a a time machine

Those sailing ships are amazing. To think it took months to sail from the UK to Oz.
Great stuff Alan you should be in Hollywood
Nice vid, music is on cue, but it should be called Now & Then as the contemporary pix appear first. :)
I love this; but I'm a pedant. This should be called Now and then; or the photo order reversed.
I know .... I need to be shot for this comment; because it's a great deal of work which I really appreciate your doing.
Thank you .. wait .. 2010? Wow. .... soz for the pedancy and thanks so much for the upload
Should be titled "Now & Then".
You got it wrong. The early photos should be 'then' and today's photos should be 'now'. Not the other way around, 'now' and 'then'. LOL.
Some things were more beautiful then than now such as station pier and Swanston street?
x2 mate.
What is the music, please?
very outdated now but good video
Yep, most definitely Back to the Future.
Who else finds the music creepy
😍😍😍😍
best comment ever seen on youtube
SOUNDS LIKE BACK TO FUTRE THEME
The now is starting to look dated too.. Maybe its time to make a new one so the now can be the then can become the before the then
agree :-)
a greek tragedy. all masked up. 8pm curfew. be a horror show. wait for the commonwealth to be restored. then it will be worth it. be much more pleasant.

How is this artificial or homosexual? It's awesome cos it has Melbourne and back to the future music
Melbourne now has posters saying, "Ask a Local" with the face of an asian. yes, melbourne is now mekong.
I'm from the land down under
wow
Anyone know what music this is ?
Only if the Predator is going to get out of a Delorean.
I'm pretty sure it is from Back to the Future..

Maybe you should retitle your video - "You are all insignificant"? Thumbs up anyway - I already knew that.
no + ratio + deactivate
REPO
REPO LUCK
before the nanny state was better.
That is one ugly stadium! Who thought that was a good idea?
