DAMN you can still see out of the windows on that train. Or should I say COULD... the video is 3 weeks old so those windows are scuffed now :D

Love your work

I remember going here a few times around 1018 when the zig zag road was still open, it was pretty cool but didn't know the history at the time other than that it was an old railway line to a quarry.

I can remember my father loading his semi carting bagged cement to Learmonth Exmouth from cement works also he was the first to take a backhoe and site shed to build the town of Dampier/Karratha for GBC😮

Painting brick can be very damaging to brick as the brick can not breath and if water gets inside it will decay faster.

Brillant,, well done Brendan

You videos give me nostalgia. They remind of these informative ABC videos we used to watch in primary school in the library 😂

Was here in 1997, infested with bats.

Thanks

Wow amazing video. I barely thought id care about it but was entertained

There is a scam Copper mine from a similar time near me, in the south of Adelaide!

It was a scam. wages to dig was as good as gold in those days ✌️

Nice video, we went up there a few years ago, a good walk through.

P.G. Wodehouse stories are full of such scams at a distance.

the 1950s of perth railways seems really interesting to me. by the 60s and 80s, most of it would be reduce to the 3 heritage lines, but its still a modernish period that people would remember

Favourite channel on the site mate

Thanks

I saw something like this this back in 1998, but I remember it being through the top of a hill.

Should have turned left at Albuquerque.

Been in there but bats had the wife screaming in panic!

Graphite Road in Manjimup was named for a find of graphite in the area. There were attempts to float companies in England and the US to exploit it, apparently boasting of how the material could be sent down the Blackwood river for export. The Blackwood river being of course an overgrown log filled small river very prone to seasonal water levels!

The story I was given by the old timers was that a reasonable amount of specimen stone found on the top of the hill and the idea was to tunnel through the hill till the reef was found and then stope the ore out. I have seen the same at Nullagine where Windalia took the side of the away in 1980 leaving the reef exposed. About 400 ounces had been removed from the top of the hill in the historical past. There was no gold in the rest of the reef!! I have been through the tunnel and seen no sign of a structure holding gold. The fact 3Kg came from the tunnel may suggest the gold is not in a reef structure. Broken hill is a prime example where the good stuff was removed and no one realized the rest of the hill held fabulous riches.

It was a shortcut to the pub

love ya work mate, please drop the tackey abc anchor style lingo tho

Thanks Brendan, I'm just slowly researching my great grandfathers time as a supervisor at mount morgans near laverton in the 1890s. I've read about jokers tunnel before and it's nice seeing that countryside albeit a bit further south and west of where my g-grandfather was

Most likely it was a scam. I heard of other scams of this time where the scammers would purchase a handful of valuable ore, maybe scatter a bit around the fake mine site, and then convince investors they found all this ore on site and they need more funds to keep exploring. Once the investors are convinced and hand over the money in echange for a cut of the finds, the scammers vanish.

Yalgu is still populated and theyre working on a new Homeswest building , so Government workers and their international teams of computer mercenaries can feel safe in the Homeswest Office ...a stones throw from the ABC ( regional studio )while some aboriginals of Geraldton mope around drunk yet honourable enough round town and in one fiery case that went on for ten years ,after being on the to be housed list , Got Fed Up not GET UP and throws a molotov cocktail nto the HOMEWEST building in some sort of protest ...then down the road ( and bless those young kids( early 20s lil justice warriors ❤ even if personally , i feel like sometimes they are misguided ) @ the 🏳️‍🌈 drop in place .. ( theyd let me charge my phone there as I'd push my shopping trolley thru the main drag ,past the roundabout with the lighthouse in the middle...you cant miss it ...i didnt have a passport so i couldn't book a hostel ..so roamed around like a covert hobo getting tipsy and being appreciative of regional yet fast changing Australian culture ... Your Jokers tunnel brought the memory back ...like the beautiful awe inspiring Cathedral ❤ of Geraldton ... perhaps one of the most beautiful in the southern hemisphere -World ♥️🌞🖤🇦🇺... but the story about the aboriginal dude doing it hard for too long firebombing the Homeswest Office surely took the biscuit up the road to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation on a platter as Lead Story ...next on channel 2©️ Domestic Correspondent !

Loving your work. Im part of the heritage skills association and would love to chat to you. DM me please. 😊

Have you ever done a video of Wilgie Mia? Ochre mine, Iron ore mine, Thorium mine. Seriously impressive visually.

for someone with tunnel vision , that joker is pretty funny bastard ! Can you dig IT Can Can you digg IT ?

I walked past the entertainment centre while ACDC were doing a sound check, quite loud from outside and I was at the other end of the carpark where the Arena is today.

I used to go to that cinema for the monday 2 for 1 double bill all the time. Best combo Man Bites Dog + Reservoir Dogs. I saw that tool concert too

Is that Mark? 1:14

That's unfortunate that those two trams were allowed to deteriorate so much. They're probably worth about $20 for the pair now, nothing left that even can be restored. Pity.

So nice to see Aus having done small buildings in the past, here's to hoping small becomes the new norm again 🤞🏼

Yes Brendan - it's interesting.

👍

There was a big scale model of the flax mill inside the flax mill last time I was there. I believe the new camp kitchen you showed was built by prisoners on work release.

Ringa Railway Bridge is another great look!

My father in law was given the job of looking after the prisoners in this camp and one of the Italian prisioners was very skilled and made him a I guess you could call it a promise box. The ti.ber is 5mm thick and made from curly Jarrah A local hard wood. The curly Jarrah has a squiggly grain giving a beautiful effect. He was an excelent craftsman and it not only looks beautiful but it has a trick way of opening it and does take a while to work it out. We now have it here to hand it down through the family. I have taken photos to post but cant find how to post.He enjoyed his time there

Brendan is there any connection between the E class 66 tram and the long running 66 express\limited stop bus from Morley to the city which was recently renumbered 950x and extended to the new Morley train station? Just wondering if the tram in question used to run down Beaufort st just like the bus.

E.C. = Electrical Cabinet (I'm an electrical engineer)

Great to see this.pity other state governments dont do the same thing.

i really hope this channel gets big so you can visit even more obscure places lol
