Could you please do a follow-up visit please?

I went to Central Coast the suburb was a zombie apocalypse it was supposed to be the posh bit

Know the people who used to own the windale takeaway lol

Mmm speaking of being protective about where someone lives.. Get mine and my neighbour's fkn houses off this video before I sue U. Our houses are not housing commission nor have they ever been we both own our houses outright and my neighbour... She's a 96 years old FFS.... Housing commissions up the other end of bluegum dipshit.

Highway from nowhere to nowhere.

Translating - Avoid Newcastle any cost! Land of stoned bogans in social projects. In USSR there was so called "101st kilometer", belt of industrial towns arown Moscow immediately beyond 100km area where small criminals not allowed to settle after they serve their sentences. So they settle in these towns with all their problems. My mother was born there and ran away to uni and marriage. And here in Australia I met absolutely the same, just English-speaking. What is worth to notice - Wollongong does not have similar smell, even with similar coal and steel industry, similar distance to Sydney, similar population and so on. Why - do not know.

There needs to be upgrades to section 2 to remove traffic lights and the Newcastle link road and Newcastle road needs upgrades to more highway like road

Australia is only just now, coming out of the dark ages of highway planning. When you leave it in the hands of politicians, no wonder. Thanks for the video and update! When completion ? The tri-centenary?😂

I grew up just down the hill from these reservoirs and as a boy we used to play around the area. Happy days long ago.😊

Some comments forget the John Hunter precint expansion and the Hexham bridge bypass. Not forgetting the Coffs Harbour bypass amongst others.

I'm 71 and for my whole life, all the state governments have ever done is ignore Newcastle. If it isn't in Sydney they just don't care.

Sounds like Newcastle is going for the record for the longest time to implement a road improvement

I saw the one on mayfield - if you’re precious - when was the last time you visited …. ?

Newcastle has always been a labor voting electorate. So the liberals won't spend on it cause they'll never win and labor won't spend on it cause they'll win anyway.

As a Newcastle city bus driver. Most drug deals, exchanges are carried out on our bus network. We have asked for help, sent email, contacted police intelligence, no support. The level of domestic violence against others riding the service and us drivers is now extremely out of control. An average, an assault on a bus driver happens 2x a day.

Beautiful city

In another era you would have been producing government films.

"if youre a bit precious"?? So it's a personal negative or weakness of some sort, to not want to chose these areas to live in? So many class hangups in all directions in Newcastle. Just say what you mean and stop apologising.

You need to get out and see mayfield now lol … can you afford to buy there - a simple yes or no will suffice lol

I think you should BE the danger.. That's how you avoid becoming a victim. 😀

Wtf Fennell bay is placid. Bolton point is the neighbourhood i think you meant. I know that because i grew in bolto. Fennell bay is full of old people.

I worked Newcastle an lived in cameron pk for 14 years ,i regretted having a house build there the street finished up full of drug dealers an inbreds ,there ar still some nice people there an as soon as i retired my wife an i sold up an now live in portmaqarie an we love it .

The whole of NSW is being neglected in favour of Sydney and as the infrastructure there is being swamped by the arrival of huge numbers of immigrants every year its unlikely to change.

I lived in Chinchen St in 1976, I was 10 years old, and my brother was 9. There was a corner shop - No. 64 (although it wasn't on the corner). It still has the big shop windows. There were probably a few more used car yards at the time on Maitland Rd. We never went near the pubs or Beaumont St. The street hookers came along much later, thankfully we were long gone. A terrible time for families in the area.

What's wrong with jesmond? Lived here for years and never had an issue😊

Its changed a lot since i lived there 15 years ago. For the better. used to be really bad area.

Probably should have included an artists impression of what it's going to look like. Currently looks like a cluster F***.

I watched this and thought 'Yeah but it's not like you get stabbed in Newcastle. Then I remembered that I am the nephew of Stan Lee who was stabbed to death out the front of Egan Surf in Darby st a couple of decades ago

There are some shocking pockets of below average housing in North Lambton , Wallsend and even Belmont north . Not as much as what you mentioned above in your video . Oh what about the housing commission complex’s in bar beach , cooks hill and Newcastle east ? There are plenty more areas worth a mention

This would be great if the M15 Hunter Expressway connected to the Inner City By-Pass and the Inner City By-Pass can better connect to the M1 at both ends.

Lived in Mayfield since 2006. It's grown up a lot

big true from me t. Mayfield

Catho, caves beach, Swansea, blacksmiths, pelican, redhead, Dudley, merewether, all close to the coast with the easterly breeze 10 degrees cooler than everywhere else and quiet, warners bay is a sweat box. There or nowhere.

You had me there!! I live in Jesmond in the city of Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK. News of a new by-pass surprised me!! Wrong country! 😂

I’m living in Shortland now. Lots has changed since I moved here in 2007. Lock your cars and house at night. Newcastle is overall a great city. I find everything I need without leaving the LGA.

As a Train driver in Newcastle, it always blows me away how long trains are when seen from above. I know they’re that long, you’re always thinking about where the back of your train is while you’re driving along, but seeing it from above compared to the rest of the city really puts it into perspective

What’s your thoughts on Edgeworth ? What are the pros and cons ?

Good vid sir love these sick videos upload more 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮😂😂😂😂🇪🇭👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶😎😎😎😎😎🙈🙈🙈

I call it "The Newcastle Syndrome" We are treated like Sydneys retarded cousin up the road. For the second largest city in NSW we get shafted all the time with basic infrastructure needs. We have had 'The road to nowhere for what, 20 years? the Tourle St Bridge fiasco, the end of the M1 to Raymond Terrace bypass procrastination and many many more. At least things are finally happening but it should have been started 20 years ago!

Yeah Sydney people, avoid Newcastle, don't come here...go to Port Mac instead..

Go the dale,at one stage about 20 years ago,there was a news report that said windale had more drug dealers per head than anywhere else in the southern hemisphere, and in the late sixties,early seventies it had the nickname of dodge city,because thats what the cops would do if they could

I thought Sydney is the only city in NSW

Newcastle is terrible, terrible, terrible... Please stay away.

One of the reservoirs has been turned into a carpark for the Mater hospital, check out Google earth.

When is the finish date?

Newy is nothing like it used to be. There used to be respect fights and fun. Soft cocks didn't last long. Bit different these days

Still going to be a bottleneck at lights into Jesmond ,traffic from newcastle and from south going west.

LOL Mayfield is tame AF compared to some places i've been in western sydney 😂😂😂

Irrespective of the politics, it will be a great outcome once finished. Thanks for the vid. Rocky loved his visit to Newcastle back in 66.
