I love Bendigo. Interesting seeing all the changes over the decades. Let's hope future changes are for the better, not the detriment.

It's amazing how the locations are so easily recognisable despite the changes. Like the building next to the Colonial Mutual Life Building at 0:24, then with balconies and festooned in advertising.

Thanks for a very interesting video, good memories. I grew up in Bendigo, and my father owned a 1937 Dodge, a 1954 Vauxhall Velox (Bendigo Motors), and then a 1960 Peugeot 403 (J Woodman), a 1960s Ford Falcon (Provincial Motors), and after I left a Toyota Corona. Merry Christmas from Europe!

John, are you holidaying or living in Europe ?

@@bendigocinescope1530 I left Bendigo in 1963, I've lived in Sweden since 1970. The last time I was in Bendigo was 2005.

@@johnfh Wow, bendigo boy makes good in sweden, well done.. I often remind the Lost Bendigo facebook founders that there is much interest in their site from ex bendigonians... hard place to get out of your system. I left Bendigo in 1977.

We're from Eaglehawk going back 170 years to the Albion Brewery in Sailors Gully. Left in 1972. HW Farmer (McCrae St) was my grandfather on my mother's side. She had an Austin 8 and dad a MkIV Jag. It was a challenge getting the Austin up Big Hill; that took 2nd gear. Later VW's, Cortinas and a Zephyr. I see a couple of Cortinas in these shots. Any reason? We had a fuel contract with Fitzpatricks in Eaglehawk.

Seems cars in Aus didn’t really take off until the 70’s..❤

Thanks Norse, have appreciated your encouragement. Have a good one.

The time frame on these cars is way out. Honestly if we weren't there we have no idea of what year it was??

[@iangordon2783]

Cut the music,annoying.

Hi Bendigo cinescope.
I'm an Aussie music fan. I'd love to see photos of the soundshell. Hush, Cold Chisel, Angels etc played there.

[@bendigocinescope1530]

Hi PP, the plan is to produce or 'knock up' something in a clip on Bendigo bands and venues next year. If you have any photos of those major bands playing in bendigo please let me know. The Lost Axedale & district facebook page have been actively posting band photos... take a look. Cheers Jack
