Wonderful, Warren! One minor issue: the south-east of Kings Cross ( the block bounded by Ward St, Kings Cross Rd and Roslyn St) strays out of Potts Point into Rushcutters Bay.
In the first newspaper photo of William Street , looking west.. the "x" was marked on this photo by my Grandfather and marks his childhood home, 189 William st. The family lived there from c1885 to 1913 and then let rooms at the terrace until its demolition for the widening of William st in 1923.
And once the Olympics came to town the hole City of sydney went down the drain n became a nanny town sadly. Yes it was all over once 2000 hit i no that much n its never been the same. "Great video my friend really well done.
I was there. Getting away from the draft.I moved at 18. Nextdoor to the Cross, in Darlinghurst. Had a great time. Gi's on R&R wanted psychedelics , I wanted girls. haven't been down under in 40 years. I'm sure I wouldn't know the place.
I enjoyed watching the old footage , thank you !
Great video

Wonderful! I am trying to find photos of The Arabian Coffee Lounge, 38 Darlinghurst Road, 1945, where my mother worked part-time.

Who remembers the cubicles at the Hasty Tasty with your own personal jukeboxes?

Good doco, but the cross has been ruined by NIMBY's
