I was born there in 1970. We lived in Mount Druitt .. My parent’s are Norwegian and they moved to Australia in 1968. We moved back to norway in 1975.. I wish i’d could come back some day and see the town before i get to old. I’m 53 years old now… ☺️
I really like how you feature suburbs. There's much more to Sydney than just the Harbour, the Opera House and The Rocks. The West particularly gets neglected (no beaches?) if not maligned, yet it is the real economic powerhouse of the city, an interesting place with lots of activity and a genuine work ethic (i.e. they get things done, rather than just big note themselves); with diverse, gritty and resilient people; and is very often a nice place to live and grow up.
Places like Camden, Penrith, Richmond, Kellyville, Schofields, Plumpton, Warragamba, and Western Sydney Parklands all have their own unique character; and it's that (rather than the usual Sydney cliches) that make the whole city really vibrant. Too often we only focus on the touristy and 'pretty' places. When I travel I want to see the 'real' nature of a place. It's so good that you are doing that.
Thank you so much for your support and encouragement 🙏. Thanks for watching 😊
Camden and Richmond are actually not in Sydney as both they born towns just outside of Sydney.
@@Homeandawayguy Depends. They certainly aren't in the 'City of Sydney', which is mostly just the CBD. However, Camden is in the Camden council area, which like many other local council areas around Sydney, is listed as part of 'Greater Sydney'. Richmond is in Hawkesbury council area , which along with the Central Coast, Wollondilly and Blue Mountains is considered 'Sydney Surrounds'. They are not listed as part of any other identified regional area of NSW. I suspect they will end being part of the 'Six Cities' conurbation.
@@tacitdionysus3220 whats Six Cities' conurbation?..

Is that where it was once called "old town centre plaza?" Used to be all pavement and no traffic way back in the 80s.
Is there a Banksia street in Bankstown? Every Australian city has a few Banksia streets.
wow 22mins in bankstown with out getting robbed. well done
Ah Bankstown very interesting very multicultural. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching 🙏😊
multicultural? I only see asian people and stores in this video and I'm not even sure if its more then one asian culture...looks vietnamese
Is this Bankstown's version of Chinatown because for the whole 22 mins of the video, I only spotted one "caucasian" face? For the most part, from what i could see, nearly all the shops and businesses were owned by Vietnamese. Could this be a holdover from the end of the Vietnam War in which Australia was involved?

Wow.. the pavement is so full of clutter from the shops. They realy need to stop the shops from displaying their wares outside on the pavement. It spoils the experience...
Strong winds in that time of month. There are guys swiping the sidewalks.
many historyy the people australian from UK i know..
Where's the dole office
where the main shopping center ...
It's on the other side. It's not shown in this video.
