What ever-happened to 10-4-5a anyway ???

I remember living in LOWOOD and Putting my 'Out-Door' Aerial Up So high that I think it touched the sky - just to pick up extra stations.

It makes me weep that all of this is gone and can never come back. Nothing but windmills and hippie markets at the old showgrounds, and nothing but a few echos left of echo valley these days

0:47 Favourite old pic of what it was like before being built over. I think the background, top middle/top right, would be Queens park area now. Top left would be Campbell street. Bridge in the background left would be about where ruthven street and chalk drive meet, would be the East creek flowing under the bridge

Was there April 2024.. majestic view towards table top mountain

Mr and Mrs Wendiland's shop.

My town

2011 + on it's way.

What actual year did this centre open?

Great memories. Great upload. Shared it with my mate who runs queens park market now. She turned 60 today 🥂🙌😊

Can still hear that train shunting up Harristown hill at 9.30 every night in the '60s.

Some of the music that is used for Toowoomba presentations are some country bumpkin

ps is that the Coronet Theatre at 1:30? ps love your channel

Can't visit my ol home town anymore but thank you for this posting it is like stepping back in time to the Toowoomba in which I grew up. the mothers memorial in situ and all.

if memory serves it was old and slimy when I went in for a dip cicca 1960. Also the creek, which runs near there, was once a real creek lined with weeping willows, now gone and upon concrete a trickle of water defeatedly almost flows near by. Toowoomba in the 60's was very pretty.

I've only been around since the 80's, so there was only one or two of those shopfronts that seemed fimiliar. It was still very interesting to see what was around before me though. If possible, it would be great include the street addresses for the shops pictured. Kelly's store that was pictured has changed owners recently. It's changed a little bit, but mostly the place looks the same still. Most of my corner store memories are from Nora's Store during the 90's. It was on the little triangular corner block where Margaret street and hill street meet. The building is still there, but it's no longer a corner store. i think the neighbouring school owes it now and uses it for something else.

You can always trust Mr Hagan

THANKS THAT WAS LIKE WALKING AROUND IN MY MEMORIES, EVEN PET CLARKE

Been there heaps.

omg, I had no idea that UFO-looking tower thing was that old, jeez

Grew up here80,s 90,s

Seeing those young guys and girl with the motor bikes, in colour live, was so fascinating, I kept rewinding lol.

The uni club.😂

Voice over by Arthur Copeland I believe. 🙂

When shopping use to be fun.... I use to love the bacon, banana and tomato sauce roll at the takeaway near Franklins (

great to hear this again

The ornate buildings look much older than the period. Many with the 'added shop frames' spoil the beautiful buildings. Interesting history for sure.

Fantastic memories, a better life back then.

I can remember my sisters boyfriends band Hot Prospect with Michelle Laurie as their lead singer playing in many a night club/ pub in Toowoomba.

Gosh that brings back memories. The concrete octopus was also fantastic. They all seemed so much bigger back then when I was young.

I had my 18th birthday there and was dared to eat 5 big macs which I did. Remember back in those days though a big Mac was twice the size it is now.

travelling between Toowoomba and Charleville or Augathella was very easy.

The good old COUNTRY show,s have all gone, not really worth going to anymore, how sad😢😢

Sunnybank hills shopping town had a franklins big fresh in brisbane

Best ever

Love it!

This Toowoomba was the no 1 city in the whole of Australia circa this time. Lots of people from Europe flocked here to work whilst the colonial prison was being run in Tasmania and Port Jackson. Gollan was a great horse trainer from old Toowoomba and even sold one of his best to the ruling King of England.,

Great memories.

I still have his recording

Wow so much has changed. Only thing I recognize is the Town Hall and train station, though a bit smaller than today. It's a shame that it's not used anymore.

Might be a little challenge, but as you can tell from my channel I film elevators - is there any chance you have photos of Grand Central’s elevators before they got modernised? i.e when they had up and down arrows instead of a screen for the floor it’s on, just like inside Myer.

Picknet point eat as much as you can Car loads young men from lpswich Go ❤❤❤❤

Aka out west as”Mc Crasheties”.

toowoomba is a shit hole andalways will be its agas station you avoid if u have fuel!

It's been a long long time but I'm pretty sure it was McCafferty's Bus Service that took me to Brisbane when I enlisted, scary times🤣

Every Fri, Sat night, bugger, there's the tears😢I"d still rather be back then than now, they were better times🤔

My first ever date happened at Toowoomba's drive in, god that was scary date🤣😂

Awesome guys, thank you, I use to play there as a kid😢

My mother still has a thermometer ornament from the white horse hotel that has a plastic white horse and a old style thermometer.

Awesome guys😄❤it👍
