This is good, just two things: be great if audio better, so I can understand the historical information. Second, that you allow us to view the pictures in full (not you). Otherwise, this is exactly the type of video that I am looking for a primary classroom lesson on historical Rockingham.

Lived at Kalamunda for 10 years .worked for the shire as drainage construction leading hand .great place to live

Love your work. Thank you for sharing.

Interesting video cheers 👍🏻

I dont see how it's a ghost town considering people live there

They close to 80 thousand plus no they have evidence of a human made fire nearly a million years old .😂😂

Excellent documentary as I tried to put "Universal Drapers" (opened 1957 at 7 Antares St) into historical context. Before Universal was Hewitt's Drapers (1940s). Your careful and respectful research of industry, recreation, commerce, community events, and day-to-day living was a tribute to this historic town. Thank you!

is it worth to invest in WAWA in 2024?

Bird and crocodile show? This must be Australia zoo

Very interesting video sir! I grew up in Moose Factory in the mid seventies, it was a beautiful place for kids and families. I know people had their own experiences due to their own circumstances; my grandfather was the Anglican minister at St. Thomas Anglican Church in M. Factory from the 60s till 1980. I had a wonderful life being raised by my grandparents there. I appreciate your video and slide presentation ❤

did anybody know billy long from halls creek.Iam his cousin in N.Z.

My Grandfather worked there. And my dad worked on the railways.

Asquerosos primates.

The name Darwin should be stripped from the city because Charles Darwin said, in his book The Descent of Man 1871, Page 201: "....“The break will then be rendered wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state as we may hope, than the Caucasian and some ape as low as the baboon, instead of as at present between the negro or Australian and the gorilla..." He should be banned for saying that.

Thanks Don , 7808 / 7 platoon . Basic Trainning 18 years old. Brings back lots of memories!

I've just come back here, I still really enjoy this video.

Fun to watch! Thanks, Don, for producing and posting.

People have got to know there limits and you don't shoot Bikes and Don you picked a fight against an army and have members in many parts of the world. So much around with these guys at your own risk. Even if you're a police officer.

That was wonderful thank you....have spent much time around Rockingham, Henderson, Casuarina, Hope Valley and Kwinana exploring and have been looking for some local historical information :) Unfortunately missed quite a bit of detail in this film, due to the low audio quality of the voice track, which is a shame. Would love to assist the author with re-processing the audio if he's interested...

Thanks for the giggles and don't give up your day job...

Why you gotta make us look like savages? Life wasn't hard before white man took our land life was just life.

I have the Whispering Oaks school house newspaper dated 1929. I would love for you to have it.

When I first came to Kwinana in 1976 and left to go to Rockingham in 1980 it was a beautiful place back then the oceans were full where was lizards and wildlife everywhere actually wasn't magnificent place today it is nothing but a shadow of its former self there are massive high-rise buildings right on Rockingham Foreshore it is now a dead lifeless trendy yippee town all of people that thinks they are rich but truly only live on Rockingham beachfront and their ugly I saw buildings the true charm Rockingham has gone but it is clean and tidy but lifeless in the water and lifeless out whether certain breed of people that you don't want to be hanging around they are so far up themselves they think they are on the moon and I have absolutely no idea I don't beautiful the place was before the money came and destroyed the place Rockingham is finished every few years all the wildlife in the water get poisoned and there is Miles of coastline with Dad poisoned crowds dead poisoned Stingrays dead poison octopuses dead cuttlefish dead snapper this happens every 10 years or so never the beaches just turn into a massive mortuary for everything that was once living in the sound even at to remove the musclepharm because the water is so toxic and the muscles were becoming poisonous to eat eating from the sound is nowadays you may as well be eating your food from tip because whatever they are poisoning into the water is going right through the food chain but this was a good documentary on our beautiful Rockingham used to be the good old days of gone on it is now just for the rich to pronounce around thinking they own the place the native people just look at them in disgrace and dismay a little they care or even know what their money as done to the Rockingham and Kwinana Beach Shores and whatever factory I think it must be csbp or Alcoa poisoning the ocean like I said about every 10 years Everything Dies it really is a disgrace but if you want to take the risk and go fishing there you might get away with just being sick depends how much toxin they are in them screw Rockingham

I remember going to the Cornwallis base as a child with my dad who was the maintenance Sargent from 1978 till his retirement in 1985 his name was Al Foster and seeing this video and other pictures brings back a lot of memories of the base and being with my dad in his shop, sadly he passed away last November he’s always with us looking down from heaven, miss you dad so much 🇨🇦

RIP John 💔 14/1/38- 1/6/21

Outstanding production Don, Cheers

thanks fro the video man !

Love the history. Your sound overs are blocking your narration. For future reference

What the. Fuck did I just listen to mid way through ??? I’m traumatised.

💛

I am a resident of the town, as I have been for 4 years. I greatly appriciate this insight to the town prior to my arrial. Thank you. If you manage to make it up here again, let me know and I will show you a few things only the locals know about. PS its not a dry town anymore, we can get take away from the golf club.

I worked there in 1955. (Galley Slave). We were housed in the barricades across the road

So Alf Garnett got the licence in 1911? You silly moo.

Our Aboriginal children were take here and suffered untold trauma and neglect...a horrible place to have been and to visit.

Thank you for this! My dad was the first baby to be born at Parkhill!

I cured myself. I used Weedborn CBD products for this.

I have used Weedborn CBD products and have healed without any problems. Now my whole family is healthy.

Awesome. I checked this out over this past week. Would love to see more pictures of the magpie mine, west of the magpie river! Great videos 👍🏻

My mother and couple of her siblings born there in the 60’s and early 70’s

Good old town Meeka. Cheers for this 👍

It's still there....I have a video on my channel. I visited 3 years ago...you can atv there

That darn day liner would rumble by everyday. It would shake the dust down from the barracks closest to the tracks. I was well versed with shining the trash tins as I usually found one on my bed every week. Some slight infraction. I was pretty glad to see the place in the rearview mirror. When I joined we were about 120,000 strong. Less people less bases less equipped now. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane.

@3:17, is that actually a girl though? The brow ridge bone is protruding (a male feature.)
