I'm not going to lie, the timelapse was breathtaking. Seeing how the city just grows out from this one central location with streets and neighborhoods being molded from their environment just felt beatifully organic. I absolutely love the timelapses!
Gorgeous builds - those stations were crying out for curved custom platforms and you delivered perfectly! Absolutely love the 45 minute build-cinematic hybrid too - great way to get a lot done quickly!
I think you also need to build a toll tunnel from the Freeway at Matilda Point that then turns to go to the Northern Suburbs of Dundee, like a bypass built a little later on, similar to the NorthConnex or WestConnex tunnels in Sydney.
Time lapses were all great but I loved the first one since it reminded me of a train station near me. It’s alway so satisfy to wake to an Oceania episode! There is also a beach in rosebud that is amazing and also quiet calm that has heaps of tourists but out the back of the bay there is a huge rock that has a huge deep(10 meters) pool under it and you can jump of the (8-15 meter) rock that there are nearly no tourist there.

Fantastic stations - you really nailed the look and feel of the Sydney Suburban rail network. Curved platforms, old-style shelters, and medium density homes with small businesses springing up right next to the station entrance. Absolute perfection!
This is unironically one of the best episodes you've made. The 45-minute timelapse experiment was complemented so well with the SimCity 2013 music (which as you said slaps) and it feels like the city truly is growing. Not to mention how much progress you've made in this episode, it's ridiculous!
The build cinematics turned out beautifully. Truly top tier. Loved the episodes recently. The music has been on-point too! Can't wait to see what you do with SS2
For the commercial area surrounding the first station, I feel like some more modern apartment buildings adjacent to the train line would be realistic. You see lots of them in Sydney, even at some of the smaller suburban stations
You should realy add in an abandoned mansion on the coastal cliffside just like the one in Sydney. ❤ Btw I'm glad you came back with the Oceania Videos
I think you also need to build a toll tunnel from the Freeway at Matilda Point that then turns to go to the Northern Suburbs of Dundee, like a bypass built a little later on, similar to the NorthConnex or WestConnex tunnels in Sydney.
The train stop name maybe is associated with some bar or restaurant very famous in the past. Maybe founded by immigrants from Europe so it can have some German or Italian name. Just a suggestion great video as always
And that is where I can step in: Friedrich Müller was a German immigrant who came to Australia in the mid-19th century. He established a farm bearing his name. When the railway came, the government needed a name for the station, and so they selected the name of the local farm and added -ville to it, making it Mullerville. The suburb grew up around it, as 2.20 said. And so, over a century later, Mullerville, once the home of a small family farm, is now an inner suburban neighbourhood.
11:11 You can construct a roundabout at the opposite end of that small bridge, with an on- and off-ramp on the hill side of the freeway. Granted, that means you can only access the neighborhood from one direction, but that also means less traffic in the neighborhood itself.
The beach side off- and on ramp can be located at the end of the industrial zone, in the empty triangle bit. The off-ramp can even be built over the train tunnel.
I wish I had just a smidge of your talent at creating real looking towns and cities.. Just amazing ! And your New Dollarton in the new game is flipping outrageous for just having the game for a short time to create such a large and intricate city. You really get a good look at all the detail during each episode of the game breakdown each weak! Just awesome

A name for the older train station / suburb would be :west Brandon.also u should add some type of historical bar / pub that has been there for decades or the whole suburb could be known for the bars
I live in a neighborhood on the edge of Boston USA called Jamaica Plain theres an old mansion that they've turned into a community center, when I was a kid they would have movies on an old projector and they have markets year round as well as live concerts, on a hot day it's the most bustling place in the community. I think something like that in this small neighborhood or any other smaller areas of Dundee would really complete it.
The condensed cinematics are great. Lovely reminder of the tons of work you put in, and we appreciate it! In terms of visitors, I live just north of Washington DC. Museums and monuments are great but I always recommend people visit the parks in the area! Rock Creek Park is a huge area with tons of walking, hiking, and cycling trails. There are tons of wooded trails popular with locals especially if you like biking- Sligo Creek and Anacostia River Trail is a favorite of mine, the Capital Crescent Trail is good too. All paved routes through forested neighborhoods accessible by metro. DC is probably one of the better cities in the US and Canada too for biking in the city itself, with a lot of protected bike lanes and a cheap bikeshare system.

Railways (and to some extent, highways) in Sydney originally developed along ridgelines that ran around the harbour and Cumberland plains. This was much cheaper than just flattening the land for rail. You can really see examples of this on the northern line around wollstonecraft, and up the blue mountains. Would be great if one of your new train lines could be developed in a similar fashion. A more historic line that is not as efficient because it is following a ridgeline!
Amazing, might be my favourite video of yours and this says a lot! The timelapses were incredibly well done. A lot of buildings plopped in, the necessary detailing performed and a realistic look achieved. Also, the music selection was chef's kiss!
it's funny hearing how tickets are all electronic. In the U.S., (especially NJ), most stations still have ticket kiosks, and on NJ Transit if you purchase a physical ticket at the machine or kiosk, the conductor will physically hole-punch the ticket still.
That music does slap. Trying to think of something and an idea that came to mind is infill subdivisions. Land sold off by the council, the state, or other large land holder being developed with distinctly contemporary housing stock (I've noticed developers in Perth seem to be in an intensifying love affair with putting townhouses in their subdivisions now too) amongst a sea of pre-established development. You could even put down a little sea-container sales office.
Absolutely amazing! I love the railway assets you used, especially those tunnels. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to make a straight station without considering a curve again, as it seemed to turn out so much better with the curve. Great job!
Those timelapses are amazing and same whit the detailing a name for the Quarantine center 'Orkney Housing Center' the name for the Orkney island is scotland
This was your best episode in months 2.20!! I absolutely loved the time-lapses. While I enjoy the story telling in Sunset city lately I've found or felt little progress is being made because you keep deleting areas and rebuilding, deleting, rebuilding. This felt like marble mountain or vintage 2.20 builds where something is completed or very close to and we look forward to a new build the next week. I really hope you continue down this path for the remainder of CS:1 and into CS:2. Oh and you are absolutely right... the old school sim city music does slap. Cheers!
This is one of the best episodes I have seen. Sure the big infra episodes are awesome but there is something comforting about this episode, that train station and the whole city around it just so so so beautiful and not only that but also the decorationg process with the trees was just a sight to cherish. also that transition shot of slowly zooming out was just perfection.
The production value of the video was fantastic - timelapses are gorgeous, your creativity is mind-boggling and challenges the viewer to try harder in their own efforts. Brilliant, thanks! (From the UK)
This is 100% the channel I’ll be watching when Cities: Skylines 2 releases. Your cities always look amazing and I love the stories you build along the way. You’ve also transformed how I build my own Cities and am now so much more excited every time I get a chance to play. So thanks for that.
Man i just love how you make everything look so natural. I understand why you got the job of doing the city for the cities 2 trailers. Everything you do feels so realistic. Can't wait to see you work on cities 2.

😁 Funny you bring up Quarantine Station--I had just watched Decoding the Unknown's debunking video of it's haunted nature earlier. How topical. Good work as always Two Dollars
Every video of yours makes me more and more excited for CS:2! Your builds are so beautiful and so cohesive that I'm excited for all the new things the sequel will offer that I'll be able to rejoin with
@2.20, really with the Timelapse I got goosebumps! Your videos are so beautiful. The suburb Timelapse is great! Keep on making these beautiful videos! And the music… really hits! Love your work buddy!!! ❤❤❤
I REALLY LOVE the Timelapse format for showing us the develop of some parts of the cities. As always you make an amazing job. Thank you for sharing it with us
First I've seen of your stuff, now I'm floored! 1) 45-min lapse: GREAT and also a real headscratcher. 2) Ought to name it something like Canougha or Kiggawai. 3) Thanks for your content. :D
Here( in germany atleast) some old stagion buildings were either demolished or straight up emptied and sold as housing(or comverted into socil housing, or a youth center) Also as the (suburb) name suggestion maybe : Tarra
Great builds man especially the last station, it reminded me over stations like West Hampstead in London the over ground goes around the downtown. The cinematics were great too I feel like it fills up a lot of the map, the new Zealand homes worked perfect
My idea for the highway connection to the first town: Don’t build one. The town’s residents probably all commuted via rail during the highway boom, and likely would’ve opposed the construction of an off ramp. They likely even blocked the highway from going through their suburb. Of course it’s been a bit of a double edged sword, it led to some blight and lower interest in the 70’s and 80’s, but now it’s seen as a quaint gem close to Dundee
I think the way you integrated those stair paths to the stations was really nice. And the tunnel exit out from beneath the bridge is clever touch. Bonza.
Beautiful city but I stayed for the narrating. The video is extremely relaxing and the anecdotes and comparisons with real life places add to the immersion. Great content!
5:20 Pro tip when making custom curvy stations: Intersection Marking Tool allows you to draw in decorative networks, including platforms. Makes drawing platforms in sooo much easier since the platform stays parallel to the track and you can adjust the distance and height more easily.
@@twodollarstwenty you can also use IMT to draw in props. So if you want a bench or a bin or a passenger information display to be placed at regular intervals, you can do that with IMT and you can control the location and angle of the props precisely. You're also able to control when networks and prop lines start and end, which you can use to say, make one part of the platform wider by having multiple platform "rules" on the same line with different offsets. I've used this technique when building elevated stations to create a hole for a staircase down. Some retaining wall networks are also compatible with IMT... The only catch is that all the props and networks you draw in with IMT have to be parallel with the network you've selected. Either way, IMT has a lot of functionality ever since the ability to add props, trees, decorative networks and even text, as well as the ability to draw lines on any network was added. Just don't go too far down the detailing rabbit hole...
Really loved the episode and the timelapses! Does this mean you'll be starting another town soon in Oceania? I'm curious to see what you'll do with the pink lake, and would love to see a Fremantle-inspired build

16:03 In the early 1900s, a rich family toured young Dundee. They fell in love with the view of the water during their stay and decided to build a house by the waterside. Later, when the city became bigger and the house had been sold, more tourists began exploring Dundee. The new owners of the house decided to convert the house into a hotel. As more tourists began exploring the city, the new owners added more buildings. However, the hotel fell out of business in the 70’s and was abandoned. A few years later, a group of people, mostly from the neighborhood that had developed, started an organization to recognize the building for its history. The building has since been converted into a historic tourist destination but one of the buildings is still kept as a historic hotel.
This would have to be Beecroft station, I grew up at Eastwood, schooled at Epping. Born in Katoomba and now live in Newcastle. Trains have played a huge roll in my life. Love your work👌💯
So good. I love those little train station historical towns and you captured it perfectly. Always so much cool history that not many people know about other than those who live there. Keep it up, loved the time-lapses. They felt like the CS2 trailer which I’m thinking maybe you got some inspiration from their editing?
Not sure why, but the name "Crompton" sprang to mind for the neighbourhood when you mentioned the industrial part. There was a man from my hometown of Bolton (UK) called Samuel Crompton who invented the Spinning Mule in the late 18th century which would be widely used in the cotton mills during the Industrial Revolution. In terms of tourist spots his old house called Hall i' th' Wood was turned into a museum, I don't know if many people go there but it's a really interesting place to visit.
I love the idea of the quarantine facility. If you're not sold on that idea the area could also be re-purposed into military barracks / artillery stuff, left over from the war. They're all over the hills and coastlines around New Zealand. I don't know if you've already done something like that, I haven't watched most of this series.
Im loving the series you do such a fantastic job of capturing Australian and New Zealand Cities. Im wondering if its possible to add a smaller second city in Oceania - centred around a river? Australia has so many "river cities" - Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, Parramatta etc. I live in Parramatta and it would be so great to see the people of Oceania try and build a "second CBD" to alleviate some pressure that Dundee is having on its services and infrastructure. Just a suggestion! Keep up the great work!
The suburb in the hills just reminds me of Kelburn and Northland in Wellington, which is really cool. Also mentioning the quarantine facility reminds me of the Somes Island (Matiu) quarantine station in Wellington Harbour, it was used to hold the livestock before taking it to the mainland and at the end of WW1 it was used to quarantine returning soldiers. Now it's a scenic and historic reserve with some breathtaking scenery. That could be something cool to incorporate into Oceania :)
This is awesome! I’m not sure if you have done anything like an observation deck looking over to the taller buildings from one of the taller bits of terrain but that would look cool, make it into a nature park or something
The timelapses were awesome! That quarantine station could also be the surviving buildings of separated penal buildings, or maybe officer barracks from a late 19th century shore defense?
As a fellow Sydneysider, there's just something very cozy about seeing those Tangaras make their way through your city. They're great As to you asking about places that tourists often miss - an understated but quite beautiful one in the inner west is the park / trail that hugs the Cooks River. Really good stuff there if you wanted to work sokething similar into your city
In terms of that highway connection you were thinking about, this reminds me a lot of small towns near where I grew up around Kapiti, where new highway projects have only made the connections that were most convenient to build, letting traffic go along local roads to a bigger intersection if they want to go in a direction that isn't served by their intersection. Could also be the case here (maybe having easy access going away from the city but not toward, or vice versa)
At 18:15 you put the roundabout the wrong way. you can see it again when you put the bus route in at 24:04 the traffic crosses over itself. Otherwise very good builds!
Better idea for that Highway relocation at 17:15 you should leave it like that for future expansion of the highway as in like they are expecting the population growth to be so Greta that they will need to add more lanes or build a new highway. The station can be built above the highway and make it look like a station floating above the highway.
I'm not going to lie, the timelapse was breathtaking. Seeing how the city just grows out from this one central location with streets and neighborhoods being molded from their environment just felt beatifully organic. I absolutely love the timelapses!
Agreed. Now, I want to know how you accomplished this?! lol

Loved those timelapses, felt like you managed to get a lot of expansion done quickly, and beautiful stuff as always. Loving the return to Oceania!
Time lapses were all great but I loved the first one since it reminded me of a train station near me. It’s alway so satisfy to wake to an Oceania episode! There is also a beach in rosebud that is amazing and also quiet calm that has heaps of tourists but out the back of the bay there is a huge rock that has a huge deep(10 meters) pool under it and you can jump of the (8-15 meter) rock that there are nearly no tourist there.

16:00 I feel like a sports field would go nicely with that
I really love the Sim City 4 music at the beginning. Brings back so many memories 😍
I was going to comment asking if that was SimCity 4! Very nostalgic!
I always listen to the SC4 soundtrack when playing CS
Fun Fact if you didn't know already :
There is a mod that I descovered lately which allows you to use custom curated music playlists
This was an amazing episode. I just can’t believe it’s been such a long time coming - this series still feels like a new one to me.
The build cinematics turned out beautifully. Truly top tier. Loved the episodes recently. The music has been on-point too! Can't wait to see what you do with SS2
Mate! Incredible. So happy to see this series getting some love again! Time lapses looked awesome.
For the commercial area surrounding the first station, I feel like some more modern apartment buildings adjacent to the train line would be realistic. You see lots of them in Sydney, even at some of the smaller suburban stations
Great episode and so good to see so much being built in one episode! I enjoyed the time time lapses (10/10 music) and can't wait for more. 😊

the timelapses are super cool! first train station looks so incredible! im definitely taking some ideas from it, thanks!
Love seeing you use the Otorohanga train station! We have so many of these along the old passenger lines through NZ
Those timelapses were BEAUTIFUL
I LOVEDD THEM!!!
For the quarantine station, add an old fort like fort nepean at the entrance to port phillip bay.
Love these videos. I studied abroad in Wellington for a year and this brings me back. Miss that place
Really loved the episode and the timelapses!
Does this mean you'll be starting another town soon in Oceania?
I'm curious to see what you'll do with the pink lake, and would love to see a Fremantle-inspired build
I'm down for the desert town!
You’ll never get something outside of Sydney.
I think you also need to build a toll tunnel from the Freeway at Matilda Point that then turns to go to the Northern Suburbs of Dundee, like a bypass built a little later on, similar to the NorthConnex or WestConnex tunnels in Sydney.
Very fun and relaxing to watch you build! Loved the music/Timelapse. Your video structure is very good.
16:03 In the early 1900s, a rich family toured young Dundee. They fell in love with the view of the water during their stay and decided to build a house by the waterside. Later, when the city became bigger and the house had been sold, more tourists began exploring Dundee. The new owners of the house decided to convert the house into a hotel. As more tourists began exploring the city, the new owners added more buildings. However, the hotel fell out of business in the 70’s and was abandoned. A few years later, a group of people, mostly from the neighborhood that had developed, started an organization to recognize the building for its history. The building has since been converted into a historic tourist destination but one of the buildings is still kept as a historic hotel.
Really love those cinematic time-lapse building sessions, and the choice of music is great too!
this is gorgeous! i don't think my computer could handle all of this so i'm also living vicariously through watching these videos haha
This would have to be Beecroft station, I grew up at Eastwood, schooled at Epping. Born in Katoomba and now live in Newcastle. Trains have played a huge roll in my life. Love your work👌💯
There was an old mental hospital/tuberculosis quarantine zone in my college town called The Ridges. Would be a great name for your quarantine zone
So good. I love those little train station historical towns and you captured it perfectly. Always so much cool history that not many people know about other than those who live there. Keep it up, loved the time-lapses. They felt like the CS2 trailer which I’m thinking maybe you got some inspiration from their editing?
the timelapses were awesome man, such beautiful neighborhoods! loved the beaches and custom stations
I love this episode. Especially those awesome short speed-ups. And please finish building the zoo :D
PS: I like trains.....and everything else. ;)
This is a really cool style. I think the area nearest the hills could have a school complex or some other public services.
Keep up the good work! Oceania is my favorite city!
Not sure why, but the name "Crompton" sprang to mind for the neighbourhood when you mentioned the industrial part. There was a man from my hometown of Bolton (UK) called Samuel Crompton who invented the Spinning Mule in the late 18th century which would be widely used in the cotton mills during the Industrial Revolution. In terms of tourist spots his old house called Hall i' th' Wood was turned into a museum, I don't know if many people go there but it's a really interesting place to visit.
Hands down one of your best episodes ever! Very well paced and amazing time lapses.
I love the idea of the quarantine facility. If you're not sold on that idea the area could also be re-purposed into military barracks / artillery stuff, left over from the war. They're all over the hills and coastlines around New Zealand. I don't know if you've already done something like that, I haven't watched most of this series.
Im loving the series you do such a fantastic job of capturing Australian and New Zealand Cities. Im wondering if its possible to add a smaller second city in Oceania - centred around a river? Australia has so many "river cities" - Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, Parramatta etc. I live in Parramatta and it would be so great to see the people of Oceania try and build a "second CBD" to alleviate some pressure that Dundee is having on its services and infrastructure.
Just a suggestion! Keep up the great work!
Nah man that’s mad I’m from central qld so happy to find an Aussie making city skylines vids. Super duper job amazing!
The suburb in the hills just reminds me of Kelburn and Northland in Wellington, which is really cool. Also mentioning the quarantine facility reminds me of the Somes Island (Matiu) quarantine station in Wellington Harbour, it was used to hold the livestock before taking it to the mainland and at the end of WW1 it was used to quarantine returning soldiers. Now it's a scenic and historic reserve with some breathtaking scenery. That could be something cool to incorporate into Oceania :)
This is awesome! I’m not sure if you have done anything like an observation deck looking over to the taller buildings from one of the taller bits of terrain but that would look cool, make it into a nature park or something
The new technique in video editing is awesome 👍👍👍
that timelapse (way of "filming", music,...) was magnificent
The timelapses were awesome! That quarantine station could also be the surviving buildings of separated penal buildings, or maybe officer barracks from a late 19th century shore defense?
As a fellow Sydneysider, there's just something very cozy about seeing those Tangaras make their way through your city. They're great
As to you asking about places that tourists often miss - an understated but quite beautiful one in the inner west is the park / trail that hugs the Cooks River. Really good stuff there if you wanted to work sokething similar into your city
Man SimCity soundtrack is so timeless. I still find myself vibing to it whenever I hear it playing.
I'd name the neigbourhood smth like Mary Park, it just fits to it for me
In terms of that highway connection you were thinking about, this reminds me a lot of small towns near where I grew up around Kapiti, where new highway projects have only made the connections that were most convenient to build, letting traffic go along local roads to a bigger intersection if they want to go in a direction that isn't served by their intersection. Could also be the case here (maybe having easy access going away from the city but not toward, or vice versa)
I love love love the custom stations!! And the detailing timelapses are so great!
At 18:15 you put the roundabout the wrong way. you can see it again when you put the bus route in at 24:04 the traffic crosses over itself. Otherwise very good builds!
Is that SimCity music in the background?? Great video!!! (as expected)❤
Better idea for that Highway relocation at 17:15 you should leave it like that for future expansion of the highway as in like they are expecting the population growth to be so Greta that they will need to add more lanes or build a new highway. The station can be built above the highway and make it look like a station floating above the highway.
that SimCity 4 soundtrack at the beginning really took me back😢
