A fascinating collection., despite the apparent errors. Thank you very much. Too many grand buildings have gone, sadly not fit for present-day occupation. And isn't it exemplary to see how accurately these buildings were photographed. These days, our cameras don't properly capture perspective, and we have walls that lean backwards: horrible.

Fantastic photos! A lot I haven't seen before too!

A caption for each photo would help to know 'where' I'm looking at. Better with the sound muted.

Lovely collection of old postcards and photos of Sydney, New South Wales, before they butchered it, and also a few of the suburbs, and the right amount of time to appreciate each one. Thanks for sharing. I'd just like to point out that the ones at 2:41, 20:43, and 23:32 are of Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. The one at 21:37 is the "Siege of Sidney Street", Stepney, in London's east end. The one at 23:04 is of Adelaide, South Australia. I'm not sure about the one at 6:01 but it's not of Sydney, NSW, I don't think.

You picked more than me. 21:37 is the only one I picked up (Winston Churchill in the centre). 23:04 I knew wasn't Sydney. 23:08 is definitely Sydney. It's Devonshire St Cemetery - where Central Train Station is now. If you look up Devonshire St Cemetery on Wikipedia there's a good drawing of that scene.

@@pigboy77 (At 6:01) good call on the Devonshire St Cemetery pic! I noticed the cemetery in the background and Devonshire St passed my mind but I couldn't make it fit. The sketch by Norman Selfe puts it all in perspective - so much has changed on that block. Thanks!

@@scorpion_travel Are they available online? I'm particularly interested in the postcards and couldn't find them on either the State Library of New South Wales website, nor that of the National Library of Australia.

It's kind of middle eastern. That's where Sydney is headed.
