Glebe Community Connections
Переглядів 162 роки тому
The Community display at the Glebe Society Community Festival in 2019 identified 71 community and service organisations that exist in Glebe to support the community. Many people expressed incredulity that Glebe and Forest Lodge were so well supported, and yet I am sure there are still others which didn’t make it into the list due to limited research time in identifying them all.

    The lie we were sold was that to become a ‘global city’ we were obliged to destroy the very things that made our city unique, interesting and charming. Rather than garnering respect selling our soul means the world treats this city as a prostitute. - a place to be used and abused for pleasure or profit but never for love or respect. Vale Sydney.

    Grew up in Sury Hills, we used to play cricket and touch football in Golbourn Street on week ends. It's not Glebe but part of Sydney history. The era was 1960.

    So less than 80 years and Sydney is completely built out in every direction? All masonry which include buildings megalithic in scale like the Uni quad, The Garden Palace, Govt house and Fort Macquarie. There harbour foreshore already seems to be lined with brick walls so early on. Not to mention all the tunnels running under the city. All this achieved by horse and cart….hard to believe.

    It's staggering the building they achieved in just a few decades, the museum, churches, homes, government buildings, bridges, railways, they were a very different breed back then, tough, determined, energetic and big dreamers. Really impressive people when you look back and see their achievements. Thankyou for your efforts here in putting this clip together and posting it, it's good for the soul to get reminded of what our forebears were like, their brilliance, real go getters and doers

    I have no idea how things work. But we done great to build some of those beautiful buildings in less than 100yrs. The industry we must have created, like we had no china to import from. Don't know how they done it but they done it. So we're told😮😅😢

    The panorama of Sydney in 1873 allows modern computer imaging to reconstruct an accurate 3D picture. This could be used in adding veracity to any movie using the city at around this time.

    I grew up in Glebe from the late 50s..Lived at 248 Glebe Point road for 25 years. I am now 67. My mates & I use to play on the logs down near Jubilee Park on the Bay. I witnessed many a beautiful building demolished in the 70s for flats. Watched a beautiful big fig tree cut down on 254 Glebe Point Rd. I still love Glebe and remember the demo's to preserve its heritage and felt proud to be part of that heritage. Once a suburb of colourful characters and working class people. Us kids made Billy carts, ran through new flats underconstruction& lamented the loss of the old buildings. Vale Jack Mundey and I salute the Glebe society.

    • @Cadcare

      I think the old house is still there. You can see it in Google Maps, on the corner of Glebe Point Road and Bridge Road. It's got a green roof with a gable facing each way, one to Glebe Point Rd where the camera was and one facing Bridge Road but the entire house is now surrounded by shops. Oh, if only I were rich.

    Saddest thing about Sydney today I think is that the Casino lobby seems to have worked extra hard to move all traffic and attention away from the Sydney Opera House to the new Casino by adopting the most destructive city planning measures.

    8:13 For context, St Barnabas near Central was one of a few churches and church buildings that were destroyed by fire in the year following the Cronulla race riots and counter-attacks ( a riot against lebanese-muslim ethnic gang rape gangs targeting Australian girls- and violence that occurred at Cronulla beach from 1990-2005). A lot of Christian churches around Sydney spontaneously combusted following that riot.

    Awesome video. I love seeing old photos of Sydney. I prefer it back then to what it is now. Even though I wasn’t alive I still feel nostalgic seeing this. I’m 62 and even going back to the 1960s and 70s, Sydney was different and better. I loved those days. Maybe because I was young but it’s not all that. Sydney and Australia WAS better then.
