It's a treasure as a landmark but yes a good theme park couldn't hurt Sydney

I like 2gb prior to 2000

I remember seeing the cameraman then he’d stand next to the camera smoking as it filmed 😅

A trip down memory lane for me

The Admiral Penn is now an upmarket B & B.

Part of the best decade ever..... The 80s

Very good

There was nothing like riding a Harris train with the doors open on a hot Melbourne day. Thanks for the memories awesome footage

The worst advertising slogan ever thought of

This year marks 40 years of her sinking

Great video

Thank you for this music

Amazing 👏

Love it! When Australia was Australia 🇦🇺

The moment you realise this footage is 29 years ago, and you’re getting old :) I have fond memories of having day trips from my home in Liverpool and going to Manly, and visiting the Manly Fun Pier, till it closed in 1989, and later the Manly Amusement Centre.

Spotted the old Lord Nelson pub on the Strand, where I worked behind the bar around the time this film was made. Loved working there, and found the locals incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially to someone pouring their pints! I think the place has become a live music venue now, which is great! I went back once years later when my band played at the Nelson. Good memories.

The Lobster pot 😋 god I miss that place from when I was a kid 😊

It has not changed all that much.

Done this route many times with my daughter when we lived in Deal.Many years after this video was done.

I miss old Sydney. It was beautiful. These reports bring the old feel back. I'm surprised how modern the production values of the news reports looked. Why did they try and stop the news camera filming? No free press in Australia back then? It looked concerning to me. Amazing recovery effort. Just shows NSW governments can move mountains when they have the will.

I did my A Trails on 5910 in the late 60’s shame they ruined the boiler.

i did the same journey l think in the opposite direction about 88 /89 !! But from Dover Western Docks after leaving the ferry from Calais . It left Dover Western Docks about 2 or 3 AM as l remember !!

I work for this guy

I turned it down lol, but thanks so much for all this footage. I don't remember the first three or four years of my life too well, but I have apparently been on evert type of train and line in this video. Pretty cool.

Ps Just look at the shops none of them exist in Deal now not even most of the banks or Tesco neither.

Since this time the town has changed enormously and as someone born in Deal the town centre has declined massively since 1980's. I do not come with Down from London rose tinted glasses. Deal in 2023 does not have a Marks and Spencer any more, it does not have many chains that a town needs for footfall and no shop out of town and it's doubled in size and continues to grow with 6 housing developments and another 2000 home scheme planned to Betteshanger. It's changed out of recognition sorry to say.

I love this footage. I was a Guard from 1980 to 1990 and used to love running the St Kilda/ Port Melbourne shuttles. They'd depart from platform 10 & 11 but down the other end towards Richmond was platform 12 & 13. Near the end of the platform was the pay office. Every second Thursday we would queue up and go up to the counter and show them our little medallion that had our employee number on it. Then they would count the cash out in front of you and put it in a little yellow envelope and hand it to you and you had to sign the ledger that you had received it.

2:15 Sadly #25 and #24 SMR locos are no more than rusted hulks at the Richmond Vale Railway Museum. They haven't been seen running on the museum's tracks since about 2005 or so.

Why couldn't Station NBN-Newcastle get Jim Sullivan to narrate this documentary instead of that "stuck-up" Anna Manzoni? Want proof of why she's so "stuck-up"? Listen to the pretentious way she says "railway", rendering as "rahlway". Station NBN-Newcastle did have other female presenters/newsreaders back in the mid-1980s who were *nowhere near* as pretentious as Manzoni.

I remember, love and miss those days so much😊

Interesting.

Definitely between 88-90 owing to the livery on the Ostend ferry at the berth they only carried that from 1988 - 1990 whilst they had the Collaboration with Townsend Thoresen/P&O European Ferries the Dark Blue with Light blue Stripe was a livery pretty much thrown together to distance themselves from the Previous Order of Townsend Thoresen Orange and "TOWNSEND THORESEN" Name along the hulls

All those cute little W' Classes!

I remember we always called Dion's buses "..the slow boat to China." Long standing and well loved Wollongong family.

In 1960 , I crewed the "Adelaide" from Paringa to ECHUCA . WITH Les Telley in the Wheelhouse. I had many turns on the helm . I was only 8 years old....... and I remember being worried about the old Captain ...... He is very old , what can I do , if He drops dead ?? . Here we had an 8 year-old in the ADELAIDE Wheelhouse , worrying about our Captain . Now , that 8 year Old has plenty of white wiskers , just like Les Telley !!!

I miss the old green and yellow trams, i was reminded of the orange ones they used to have too. I dont miss the rattling creaking noises though, even for 1983 that sounded so dilapidated and old, and they kept using them right into the 90s.

Honestly thought that young kid was me for a minute when i first watched the video.

My stepdad had four at one time, I don't know what he did with them I was young at the time, I loved them they were all very good looking and great running. Would like to have them back or at least one!!

Shame the Grubberment wont budget for real historical significance rather than political pandering

Does Gary still own the Ambo?

great footage ! Great work. Thanks for the memories.

Wait a minute… it’s not at MOTAT anymore

See they work better together back then, then what they do now

Good ol Gemini's. Looks to be the TG Gemini. Saw a glimpse of the ZZ/Z model in the ad along with the usual SL and SL/X models featured in the ad.

I remember going to Lazer Zone and seeing Apollo 13 at the cinema there that year. Gosh it looks so old now, yet it's still fresh in my mind.

noticed this video stops at 6:15 so probably corrupt

How dare they make the Mitsi colt disappear! 😂 loved the Colts too

I worked at the freight yards behind most of this footage, I worked in shed two for a year or so then up at shed 4 area, forklift driving, they were great days indeed, people of every nationality worked there, and we all worked together to load the wagons every day. I recall the "Hole in the wall" near shed two accessible from Flinders street where you could buy takeaway food. Lots of good memories from those days. Thanks for uploading so we can all watch.

Hi! Is it possible for me to contact you about this footage via email? I'm very passionate about seafaring, history and photography. I'd love to use and upload this footage on my youtube page. I share footage from all kind of activities on our ocean. Cargo ships in the 1960s till now, oil rigs, fishing vessels, etc. Of course full credit and a link to your RUclips page will be given when I upload. You can find my email on my youtube page. I am looking forward to your reply. Kind regards.

I have such fond memories of going on South Steyne and Collaroy to BrokenBay and back. Wish we still had such cruises.
