Gannin down the toon,
I'm from Newcastle. Newcastle upon Tyne, but got to say Newcastle in Australia looks lovely 👍
Love Australia from Brazil! 🇦🇺🇧🇷
Me too!
Beautiful driving tour of downtown Australia... thanks for sharing.
When driving in the left lane or line of traffic in a built-up area, you must give way to a bus displaying a 'Give way to buses' sign when it is stopped or moving slowly and indicating to join the traffic stream from the left
4K 60p is really smooth! nice video
Thanks!
Newcastle is So Beautiful🇦🇺 Love Austrália!!❤️❤️❤️
Looks really nice
very fascinating roadside views
I Lived in Raymond Terrace just north of Newcastle in the 60's I knew the city real well in those days. Had some great times there.
raymond terrace nice part of the world on the mid north coast
Love Australia , Excellent .
A mere “ Shadow “ of what it once was” a thriving bustling metropolis”
22:50 The CUA building at left was once the Newcastle showrooms and office for AWA(Amalgamated Wireless Australasia) Ltd. The building to the right, out of frame, is now M.J. Finnigan's Irish Pub, but I remember it years ago as Martin DeLauney's Electronics warehouse. I'm talking about way back in 1969 to 1970. I lived at Stockton and used to go to Newcastle Junior Boys' High School, I would walk around near here in order to avoid having to walk up Brown Street(ooooooh, my legs have still not forgiven me for the times I did climb that street! LOL)
you would been still fit at fourteen neil
recorded in 720p60p must have been a SLR camera SLR stands for single lens reflex the next generation up from the handy cam
@@top40researcher20 They generally look like the stills cameras of old, but incorporate video recording and stereo microphones.
@@neilforbes416 well as i said its recorded in 720p60p or better known as UHD Ultra High Definition which my television broadcasts in
@Neil Forbes hmmmm very slanted LOL
1 major difference I noticed between aus and Zim is that when turning right, you can move to the center of the intersection until there are no on coming cars or until the light is yellow.
It was helpful... thank you
40:42 Where that ute turned left, that's Brown Street, the section of that street running south between King and Church Street has railing on either side of it so people can pull themselves along as they climb the hill, My legs ache just thinking about it! Oooooo-oooooohhhh! LOL
should be known as dip street LOL
@Neil Forbes wow you have to make sure the hand brake is on LOL
thank you. 💚
31:53 The building on the left has served several purposes since 1950 but from 1923 to 1950 it served to house the electricity supply for the original tramway, repeater supply buildings would've been located in other suburbs.
@Neil Forbes now its a mixed business
@@top40researcher20 For a while is housed the offices of Telstra.
@@neilforbes416 I hope the building is under national trust you know what Newcastle council is like demolishing them rather preserving its heritage
2Neil Forbes when i visited Newcastle on three occasions the last being 2015 i walked from nobbys to Merewether Beach and got the bus back it was really a good walk
Nice ride dude! 😎
Thanks! 👍
Beautiful scenery. Lovely city. Didn't imagine it was so big. Do you happen to know the area where Silverchair members live?
Pretty sure Daniel Johns lives in merewether. I don’t think he leaves home much. The bass player (idk his name or where he lives) owns a restaurant in town and u can see him working there every now and tjen
@@joshtonkin7684 Hi! Chris Joannou. Thanks. I've read somewhere he owns a restaurant. Wasn't sure if the drummer Ben Gillies was his partner as well.
He co-owns Flotilla in Wickham, The Edwards in Newcastle West and the Criterion Hotel (Pub) in Carrington.
@@beautifulaustralia-4kultra795 Grand. Don't know Newcastle really. Could you film a walked tour of those places sometime? It'd be fantastic. Thanks for the information!
Great place
i believe in the 1960's and 1970s Newcastle was really at its peak but all that changed when the Newcastle earthquake hit back in 1989 and trade in hunter street went down hill from there
Add in the growth and expansion of Westfield Kotara and Charlestown Square. Hunter Street isn't exactly an attractive shopping option
Newcastle is the third oldest city in australia behind hobart
Newcastle first settled in 1801 to 1802. The second permanent settlement was in 1804. Hobarts first settlement was in 1803, but moved to it's current location in 1804, so Newcastle was settled first and is the second oldest city in Australia
Outstanding beaches in Newcastle, but I've never been.
@Neil Forbes vehicle drivers should give way to a bus displaying the give way sign in a built up area, when the bus is about to enter or proceed in the lane or line of traffic, and the bus is in front of the driver. ... Buses are still required to obey the road rules when entering the traffic. so its not a traffic violation
newcastle hasnt really bounced back since the earthquake back in 1989 this lead to the revitalizing of Newcastle as the newcastle line between hamilton and newcastle station itself had to be removed due to removing heavy rail from the inner city
Yeh dumbest decision ever. They should make a new line underground connecting the CBD to heavy rail again this time.
What are you talking about. The city has been transformed.
ahhh mid march 2020,the calm before the shit storm known as covid-19...
Woww😎
High rise towers are pretty low
Yeah, Newcastle hasn't ever been a tall big city like Sydney and I it doesn't, more of the Sydney people are moving up here because of the low land prices, sadly though we are getting a big boom in tall buildings so soon I say there will be in the next 10-20 years, it's the same with Charlestown because they recently just finished off that big apartment building and I reckon 10 20 years down the track it will be a mini Sydney or something
@@apsley8704 hopefully along the way it can develop its own unique identity and become its own thing that isn’t just another satellite city.
More and more high rises are being built but max out at around 30 stories.
If you want to see massive urban transformation for an Australian CBD, check out Parramatta and what's happening currently, once the second airport opens in over 3 more years, shit is going to get real interesting there.
Austrália l love❤💙💖
if you want to experiance earthquakes i believe the Newcastle museum has a simulator
Newy beautiful
this is what tourists come to see the beaches not some run down mall and so called light rail
Newy braaaa
very beautiful city , nince roads,beautiful weathear , but it seems like australian cities are ghost cities, few peoples empty businesses , and empty road with few peoples. why or what's the reasons ?
Australia has only 20 million people and the country is as big as Continental USA.
@@tylerdavidson2400 actually that number is closer to 27 million now. Still a small number, but set to double in under 40 years time. However I'd say the desolation is more due to covid than anything else. Sydneys CBD too has been impacted much in the same way.
heh look at me im shoutin sluuuuuuuuurs
Pre Covid Newy 3:01
That bus driver should've waited for you to pass as you, being on the thoroughfare, had *right of way* over the bus, which was in a parking lane.(4:44) That driver committed a traffic violation.
no, the driver should have waited for the bus, it has signs on the bus whenever it is turning and the driver in the car didnt obay the rules
@@ozfootball9041 Sorry, no. The Bus was in a parking bay and the car was in the traffic lane. Vehicles already in the traffic lane have right of way. The bus had to give way to the car, signs or no signs. The signs only apply if the bus is in the traffic lane and in transit. The bus was about to merge into the traffic lane, so had to wait for the car(or cars) to pass before the bus could safely enter the traffic flow.
@@neilforbes416 it was a bus stop not a parking bay, and cars must give way and let busses through
@@ozfootball9041 Makes no difference. The bus, if at a bus stop, must wait as vehicles already in the traffic lane have right of way over vehicles parked in parking lanes *OR* buses at Bus Stops.
@@neilforbes416 vehicles should give away to buses if it is at a bus stop
Looks good, probably a terrible place to live in but yeah, it looks good.
Why do you say that? It’s a great place to live.
Life is now. Hello from Russia.
What I would give to life there again
