This was fantastic - thank you St Peters Cooks River!
@@GerardHammond Thanks for your comment, you are the second person from yesterday who has used the word fantastic. By chance I came across what videos you have watched of ours and left comments. I’m finding it difficult to discover what in your eyes or ears makes a good video. Have you anything more to say for instance on “Tempe House”? We have a number of videos that lie comparatively dormant as to views, but then blossom. We cannot discover why this should happen. Tempe House is close by which of late has shown an inexplicable growth. Whilst having our ear to the ground we know not why. Manly has of late shown enormous growth, after sulking for two years. We await North Sydney to perhaps do the same. Your comment has given us heart, for much as we think Woolloomooloo isn’t largely populated, people know the name and the cafe. I don’t wish to know where you live, just where your nostalgia lies. P.S. Tempe House, though beautifully placed on the Cooks River and externally interesting, inside lacks furniture, an essential part of Victorian houses and as far as we know is rarely open to the public. The place to be is Lydham Hall at Rockdale/ Bexley. A furnished historic home, not a museum.
@@stpeterscooksriver1873 it's fantastic because i lived in sydney for 30 years and just love seeing sydney's history. i've travelled the world a lot and sydney is special.
@@stpeterscooksriver1873 i'm mostly interested in the inner west suburbs and heading to bondi beach suburbs.
finally the UA-cam algorithm is both mysterious and pernicious :-)
@@GerardHammond Yes we might agree, but what this greater challenge is knowing that someone who has just watched “Touring Cornwall in a Minibus,” has chosen to watch one of ours next. When we thought of creating this Channel, our thinking was that someone might be inspired by the information in them, to write a short story, play, poem, or film script. That as far as we know hasn’t happened. We also attempted without success to get local history societies involved. Their opinion then and may still be that books are far more important. Local Council’s efforts in this area, have a curious way of presenting on screen academics attempting to speak off the cuff to a poorly grouped set of pictures. I shan’t mention any other elements of their production except to say that the turn off point is consistently at the beginning. We long to see the time, when another channel, might tackle another facet of history but have the same production values as ourselves. Thus the person who watches one will also watch the other. One can but dream. I apologise if the answer I’ve given is not the one you wanted to hear.
I have wondered for 65 years why Garden ISLAND 🤔AT LAST I NOW KNOW, this is great.
yep didn't know that either.
Plunkett street did not move straight from the original to the new school, i went to Plunkett street school during the 70's it was small near the highway, then it moved to the new one it is now. My younger brother went to both schools.
Thanks for your comment. The Creator felt challenged as to how the school had moved. You I filled in the missing piece of the jig saw puzzle. Unfortunately editing a video after it is up is fairly limited. Your post has been tagged by us such that it will remain at the top of the list of comments. We. thank you for the information. Should you be in touch with your old school friends, perhaps you might mention there is a UA-cam video on Woollomooloo which features your old school.
@@stpeterscooksriver1873 Thanks for your reply. 🙂
