The skills involved in negotiating that island cause most to never notice it, great video mate Thankyou.
I used to work in Herston.
I agree Redcliffe is so old there should be some good stories
I grew up in lutwyche, a few hundred meters from the windsor school of arts. I went to wooloowin primary school and Kedron High. I know every one of the places you visited. In all of my 30 yrs in lutwyche i never once saw inside the old council chambers..finally i know whags inside..thanks for this upload.
Hi Rob, thanks for the video - just wanted to mention since you said there is no rock climbing in Windsor that behind the Freedom furniture outlet on Lutwyche Rd (below Rosemount Terrace) are some cliffs that I assume are from some old quarry (?). While I never climbed there myself they certainly are climbable if you avoided the shopping centre security. I'm not sure the state of them now but in the 2010s they were in use.
Love hearing the history in your videos Rob. I spent my teens in Windsor. Our family would often walk up Eildon Hill, and Brisbane City Hall stood out clearly. It was the tallest building in Brisbane back then.
Rosemont was also the mental hospital spent time in there in 92
Brilliant. Spent 1979 to 2001 in Windsor area. Great video.
close to wher i grew up , at the grange
You forgot to mention there used to be a fuel/ oil storage facility for the RAN up till 1972. This was on the corner of lutwyche road and Newmarket road.
I have an incredible update on Windsor house - it’s now being used as an event space for children’s birthday parties 😂
Ahhh my husband just found your channel and showed me your videos. I’m the President of Growl Theatre which now performs at the Windsor school of arts hall. If you ever want to check out the hall some more, let me know. I believe the position of the hall was a few hundred meters north of current location. It got moved back once during the widening of Lutwyche road, but it was the development of the busway which took the hall offsite (in 2 pieces!!) and when it was returned, it was in this new and current location.
Thanks Rob, love your work. 👍
Thanks mate this was a bewdy. I live at Ferny Hills not far from here
Rob, you mentioned that you thought a Brothel was a soup kitchen for the poor! Well, it is sort of like a "Soup Kitchen"!! 😅
I've sensed your phobia of magpies in your video's Rob! Watch Alfred Hitchcock's movie "The Birds", that'll crank up ya Maggie Phobia's for ya! 😅
Rob, love your stuff. I drive BCC buses and see all of these amazing things daily without the benefit of getting to know their history. Thankyou!!! Kym
