Great video. I’m a Newcastle boy, but haven’t lived there in over 20 years. It’s amazing to see the changes that have happened. It’s no longer the grimy industrial town it used to be
No just a crappy one that removes a train line and has people that think a virtual abandoned virtually empty struggling shopping area is progress when it’s replaced by dog box sized apartments. And that grimy town had well paying jobs replaced now by low paying service and hospitality jobs. Apparently that’s progress for millennials?
I used to visit Newcastle quite a bit during the 1980s, and had a lot of fun there during my younger days. I haven’t been back there in about thirty years and it’s changed so much that I don’t even recognize it. It would be interesting to go back one of these days
Thanks for showcasing my hometown! Newy is quite literally a harbour city because it’s directly opposite the largest port on the east coast of Australia haha.
Great video. Lived in Kotara in the late 1970s. The city has changed so much from the industrial landscape I remember along the Hunter River. Looks great. Michael. UK.
As an 80 year old Newcastle girl, watched all the changes, loved your video. Shame about Hunter Street shopping. Empty shops. Mainly deserted mall. Great waterfront precinct and beyond though.
Well Newcastle will be the first city connected to Sydney via fast rail if the governments pledge of half a billion dollars goes through. In a few short decades Newcastle could be looking at doubling its population as Sydneysiders chase the dream of their own home at affordable prices and cutting the trip back to Sydney to 40 minutes each way
I’m an Architect/Interior Designer & will be migrating to Australia soon in New South Wales. But I can’t decide which regional area to choose between Wollongong or Newcastle? Any points to consider? Would appreciate all your comments & suggestions.
hey mate, love the videos of Newy. Do you think Newcastle will gain a large skyline soon? I've been following some new projects and it looks like Newcastle West (near the interchange) has a 100m tower coming up and a few ones close to 100m in development. Very exciting stuff to see Newy growing.
@@BigJayDogAdventures That would be the dream. I took the train to Sydney on the Weekend. 3hrs to get from Newcastle to Olympic Park. If fast rail makes it a quick commute the potential growth for Newcastle will be huge. People won't have to live in Sydney to work there.
newcastle has trams?? well i'll be. Always loved that place. im from up near townsville Townsville is quite possibly the shittest place in australia. Only been there once, lovely place.
Not trams but a light rail travelling only a few stops to top of town, where the train used to go. So we ripped up the train line and put in another one. Money well spent ? Debatable
I'm novacastrian...Newcastle has changed a lot but no government want to invest in Newcastle because it is a safe labor seat. So infrastructure in Sydney and Wollongong is better. But I wouldn't move there.
We fought it but lost. Nothing like spending money on ripping up rail to put in another rail, just so travellers can hop off one train and finish their journey on another for a few stops.
And can just imagine what it would of been like had the line been cut at Broadmeadow would of been absolute Kaos and a lot worse than what it is now.What has been done now with all the buildings and rejuvenation that has been built could of been done without the line been cut
Typical Australian. Who in the 21st century removes a rail line from the central downtown and replaces it with a crppy single line tram. And then expects the down town to be revitalised.
Hello from USA. We visited Sydney and Newcastle in 2017 and enjoyed it.
Great video. I’m a Newcastle boy, but haven’t lived there in over 20 years. It’s amazing to see the changes that have happened. It’s no longer the grimy industrial town it used to be

Love your stuff Big Jay. We're moving to Aus and your videos have given us so many insights about so many places
Nice
Newcastle it's a very watery place and a wonderful place to live.
😂
Pretty cool racing the tram like that
Goes to show that even a drone can keep up with the slow trams. Oh well, their still awesome.
@@Agent44996 😂
Drone was flying into strong wind , tram was very slow but looked good in the video👍
Excellent footage I like it 👍
Very good!

Yes it looks logical to connect the cities via fast rail, great comment 👍
It will never go ahead that fast rail cause mention it every election and it never is done and if you believe that your a bigger fool than I thought
Thought it was Newcastle in the England looked to sunny for it.

You posted one year ago. So, which city did you choose? Newcastle or Wollongong? Be interesting to hear on what basis you made your decision.

Yea I think so especially if the fast rail is built

Quite a contradicting statement at the end there mate

Ah that's my birthday in June

Interesting comment. Thank you.
Love the skyline except that ridiculous light rail
