This vid has raised an interesting point regarding the door locks on the car. I owned an FB Holden sedan and the door locks were the same. No lock in the driver’s door but the passenger door had the key lock. Anybody know the story behind this?

I was raised in Sydney and I have many family members buried in Rookwood. Thank you so very very much for this informative and entertaining video. I now feel more at one with my home city through gaining greater knowledge about its history. The next time I visit my family members at Rookwood O shall make an effort to locate and visit the train stations (or what's left of them).

Thanks so much for the positive feedback, I really appreciate it. The cemetery is well worth exploring, so much history in one location. If nothing else, the remnants of Mortuary Station No. 1 are definitely worth your time. Thanks again!

I'm a palaeobotanist and those 'pine cones' look more like the pencil pine / king billy pines of Tasmania (Athrotaxis species), which are related to the redwoods, Australian cypress (Callitris) and cedars. The Winton conifer fossils are mostly this family and less commonly araucaria family (wollemi, bunya and Norfolk pine). Reach out to the Qld Museum - two great palaeobotanists there.

Something hit Mars and removed its outer layer and now the iron core is exposed. You can even see the huge mark across the surface. The crust is now the asteroid belt along with whatever hit Mars. Australia was hit with a meteor also. It blasted off the surface of Australia.

Love the video! What flower is that at ~13:10? It's eerily beautiful.
@CuriosityMine Ай бұрын
Thanks so much! The flower is a Bryophyllum, commonly known as “Mother of Millions”. Unfortunately it’s an invasive pest species, but that doesn’t prevent it from having its own spectacular beauty.

@@CuriosityMine thanks so much. I spotted lightning ridge on the map of NSW trains and coaches a few months ago, it just stood out on the map to me and since then it's been on my mind even though I know nothing about it. Your videos have done a lot of highlight the beauty of the place and have made me really eager to pay it a visit but unfortunately I haven't got a driving licence so I assume getting around would be difficult. Thanks for making these, such a spectacularly underrated place!

I think Sandy Hills Cemetery was on what is now the park in front Central Station?
@CuriosityMine 16 күн бұрын
Sandhills Cemetery, aka the Devonshire Street Cemetery, aka Brickfield Hill Cemetery was located right under where Central platforms 16-23 are located, to the north of the Devonshire Street tunnel between George and Elizabeth streets. There is an old map here that shows the burial ground's location: dictionaryofsydney.org/media/63758
