This walk is through parts of central Sydney’s Chinatown. Chinatown is located at the Southern end of the Sydney Central Business District and is part of the suburb of Haymarket . The first Chinatown was in the Rocks district known as the Chinese Quarter in the 1860s , by the 1920s Sydney’s Chinatown had migrated over to Campbell Street in Haymarket , in the vicinity of the capitol theatre just off George Street. Greater Sydney Has many Chinese Suburbs / Neighbourhoods including an official Chinatown in Burwood and the largest Chinese suburb being Hurstville in southern Sydney but the Haymarket Neighbourhood is the oldest.

seems like a place to look for when u lost ur car

Hello Billy, Drummoyne I've only ever gone past on the bus, till recently where I went to Mcdonalds for dinner. (P.S. don't get the onion rings there). I liked what I saw so I am happy your doing a tour of the area. Its nice to explore this side of town. I do like this with its older factories and shops on the main highway there. I think there are a lot more houses in this area than apartments, although I do like those new ones on the highway that go the whole block. I been to Birkenhead Point but only on the ferry and only to the shopping outlet they have there, its nice to walk around the areas. I find you get a lot more out of walking the areas than if you were doing it by car. I hadn't realised that Birkenhead Point was that close to Victoria Rd till recently. I didn't know there was a pool under the bridge. Is that public? Looks nice from up there. You've done a really nice long walk here I've enjoyed it again. Cheers for now.

Drummoyne is a Suburb in the inner west of Sydney. Drummoyne is six kilometres west of the Sydney Central Business District and is the administrative centre for the local government area of the city of Canada Bay. Drummoyne sits on the peninsula between Iron Cove and Five Dock. William Wright, a merchant , whaler and sealer bought land in the northern part of the area in 1853. He named the area after his family home at Drummoyne on Clyde in Scotland , in Gaelic , Drummoyne means flat topped ridge.

Tiny suburb but well known due to the train station

This should be SYDNEYSTAN!!

Hello Billy, I've been along Burwood Rd many times over the years but its been about 12 years since I was last there. There are a lot more new apartment high rises there since I last visited. They all look really good, I'd live in any one of them. A lot of lovely eateries and novelty shops along this street, (both sides), This suburb is in my top 10, I really like it. I usually just do the main drag, but its good to see the back streets it shapes the suburb. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy, I lived in Petersham in 2002 for about 6 months, 5 minutes walk from the train station. I wasn't on the shops side I lived on the Parramatta Rd side of Petersham. I haven't been here for a long time. Old Canterbury Road still as busy as ever even there. Wow I didn't realise how big Petersham is as I never went over that side your walking on much. Only Canterbury Rd. Your also very close to Stanmore Rd and where I lived there. When I used to walk around the area 20 years ago that I would walk past the Oxford Tavern (I remember it advertised topless barmaids at the time, being gay they didn't interest me but they always had customers). Another of Sydney's gems. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy, Funny thing for a long time I actually thought that Chippendale was Redfern or Surry Hills. I never realised it was a suburb on its own (albeit small), till I saw it on a local bus map. So its nice to have a quick stroll through it although I have gone through some parts of it before. Another nice leafy little suburb of Sydney's. By the way you mentioned you might have been a bit worried about the quality of your older work, it comes across quite well on my television so there's no need to worry. Your camera work is pretty good too. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy, This is a walk I'm meaning to do soon as its quite close by. I'm hoping to get another dog soon and this will be his/hers new walking trail, so its nice to see how it looks before I go. I really believe this area of Sydney is so beautiful, I mean look at those views across the harbour just before the Anzac Bridge, those apartments across the way look really nice, I'd live there if I won powerball. (Otherwise I can't even afford to sniff the area.((haa, haa, haa)). This side of the harbour often gets overlooked I don't know why its really beautiful. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy, You know I'm watching these at 3 in the mornings, cause as you probably know, there's absolute crap on tv this time of morning. (Nothing but infomercials and ads). I've actually feed the pigeons at that monument in Union Square there. Its a nice place to sit and eat my lunch. This video is 3 years ago so I wasn't here at that time. So its good to see a lot of it is still the same as it was. I like how you've gone around some of the back streets here I haven't had a chance to do a lot of those yet. I was gonna have some lunch at that Quarryman's Hotel there once, till I found out there fish and chips were 28 dollars. (too much for a pensioner). So I went across the road to that little pocket park after getting a sandwich and coffee from the cafe ($13), and sat in the little pocket park and had lunch. One thing I do like though is that there are a lot of nice eateries along Harris Street there. I'm going to try some of them this summer. So its nice to see the suburb like this and thanks again for doing these great walks. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy, Doesn't Ultimo have some of Sydney's most beautiful old buildings. Its just really pleasant seeing this suburb. Thanks for this walk Billy, I really wanted to see what was up and around this area, if there were any shops or parks that would be useful for me. The library I used to visit quite often its very nice inside that building. See I like to eat my lunch or dinner outside sometimes and I like to find nice places or little pocket parks to eat. We have so many nice places like that in Sydney. (We are Blessed). So I haven't ventured past the library building there but was always curious. So I like where you've walked in this video cause this is the actual area I want to see, cause its not too far from me now. Ultimo and Pyrmont seem to have quite a few more apartment buildings I've noticed than other suburbs around the area. Although a lot more are being built now. I gotta say Billy, I still think you deserve some sort of recognition or award from council for doing this type of upload, I mean can you imagine just how many people these videos of yours can really help in finding particular locations easier. I'll have a chat with Clover for you. Cheers for now.

sad ay...

Hello Billy, Sydenham is a suburb that I've really onlly seen around the station many years ago. So this is a good walk that I will enjoy. I noticed the bakery in the first few minutes looks good and popular. I love big beautiful old trees and that one at 10.07 is really nice. I like there Town Hall building. Also nice to see they have done the station up since I was last there. After watching this it reminded me of how close the flight path was when I lived in Stanmore, so its probably even closer at Sydenham, very loud isn't it. However its still one of the perks of living in the city. I also notice how many new skate parks are popping up around the city, which is a good thing keeps 'em off the streets. Mind you I think council should clean them once in a while! but that probably costs them too much money. All in all its a pretty good suburb, its getting pricey now though. (Probably the proximety to the city is why). Cheers for now.

Sydenham is a Neighbourhood/ Suburb in the Inner west of Sydney. Sydenham is located 8 kilometres from the Sydney Central Business District and is part of the local government area of the inner west council. Sydenham is bordered by Marrickville, St Peter’s and Tempe . Sydenham developed after the Illawarra train line came through to Hurstville in the late 1800s. Sydenham was named after Sydenham , a suburb of London because of the similarities to their close proximity to the city and a railway junction. The railway station is a junction for the Illawarra line, airport and south line , the Bankstown line including the metro. There are bus stops next to the station that also serve areas off the train line. Sydenham borders the princes Highway on the east side and Marrickville to the west and is a short walk to the Marrickville Shopping District.

Hello Billy, Firstly I think they should make designated areas for those e-bikes, otherwise there just in the way. Redfern is a lot of government housing. Great area though I liked living there. I lived in the Poets Corner section up in the high rises on Morehead St. There all very similar though. I'll just walk with you on this one, been down this area many times even got to know a few people in some of them. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy, There've got some beautiful old trees in that area of Waterloo. They stand so majestic. Great area as you know I lived around the area there and often went to Botany Rd that way. I see the new metro is nearly completed there. Many years ago that was the site of my regular butcher I used to go to on Raglan St. (He had the best rissoles.) I thought the design on the new metro would be a bit better than that, it looks a bit bland to me on the outside. Anyway I'm glad the area is getting updated around there, it was really looking old. Yes all I can really say is that it wasn't a bad area to live in, I had no trouble the whole 20 years I was there. Despite its reputation. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy, Look what I found in your back catalogue, the suburb I'm currently living in. Harris St I've walked a few times, however John St and behind which you cover in this video I haven't but am meaning to. Its just behind me but I got to walk up a lot of stairs to get up to that area, even though its quite close to where I live. Those high rise apartments at 28.25. I live just behind them down the stairs. Thats sort of the reason I haven't gone and explored that part of Pyrmont yet. So I'm really glad to see the layout from this walk. I wanted to see if there were any shops or cafes on that side. Oh look further into the video you found the stairs that leads to my place at 30.45. You can see how steep they are. (thank god there's a ramp there.) I thought you'd go back down John St and take a better look at the community centre. Thats a really nice building, but alas its being renovated at the moment and not open. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy, Newtown also one of my top 5 suburbs. I've also done the back streets of Newtown many times. Being gay myself Newtown being one of Sydney's gay friendliest suburbs, I was attracted to go there many times. Its got great shops, cafes and parks. Not to mention a lot of the houses and apartments are quite well established, Still not a suburb with many high rises but still very attractive to walk through and its also nice to see that the suburbs are a lot cleaner than they were 20 years ago. Its nice to see the progress. There's some great graffetti in Newtown, its just unfortunate that a lot of it gets mindless scribble over the top of them and gets spoiled but its nice to see your checking out the good ones. I love good art. Especially good wall art. Cheers for Now.

P.S. Here's some trivia for you Billy, Did you know than Strawberry Hills is like Kings Cross is not a Sydney suburb. Its only a location Its not classed as a suburb on the map! I found that out when I went to Strawberry Hills post office on Cleveland St, which is in Surry Hills. I wander how many other Sydney suburbs there are that are just locations and not a suburb? Cheers again.

Hello Billy, I used to walk these streets all the time, especially when I lived in Flinders St, Darlinghurst. Surry Hills I find is kind of a weird suburb, I could never work out where it started from or ended at. Like its very close to the city, also Redfern, Darlinghurst, Wooloomooloo or waterloo. Its quite a big suburb. Also one of my favourites. Yet again another pricey suburb. Piperlouise used to love going to the parks in this area. A lot of the times when I took her for walks, I would let her choose the direction we took and she would often go through these streets of Surry Hills. (I think she liked it too.) Its a very well established suburb, I love the age of a lot of the trees there. If you take particular little streets in Surry Hills you'll find a lot of little parks nestled at the end of the streets, which are great for people watching and doggy connections. I lived in Albion Street for 10 months back in 1998. Its a great leafy suburb. I used to walk around all the different streets, Its very leafy. Mary Street I used quite a lot because thats my mothers name. Its been awhile since I've done the inner Streets of Surry Hills, but I walked it many times and all over. I've been to every street you walked on in this video and its great to see that its looking as gorgeous as ever. Its a suburb people really take pride in I think. Its got great shops and lots of community centres for many projects. Nice to see that a lot of it hasn't changed however there are a few new apartment blocks but not as many high rises in this suburb. I also noticed that they have widened a few of the sidewalks as this suburb gets very congested with pedestrians sometimes. So because I didn't drive this particular suburb was a lot of the times a walk through to get to Redfern or Darlinghurst or the city for me. So I would take many different streets just for a look. Sorry I'm a bit chatty today, I like to smoke a "j or two, whilst I'm watching and sometimes it really evokes the deeper memories that I have of the place." and this particular walk really reminds of early years when I first arrived in Sydney. So thanks Billy for reminding me of my great times. Also I find there are a lot of short cuts to other suburbs through this suburb. So as you can see Surry Hills is in my top 5. I love this suburb, although I don't go there as much as I used to since moving over to Pyrmont. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy, I used to shop here a lot when I lived in Ashfield, I've walked around the streets and shops as well as that big mall. Strathfield has some great shops. I also remember back in the early eighties it was the scene of a very dark period for Australians as it was the sight of a dreadful stabbing that took the lives of seven (if I remember correctly) beautiful people, that took place in a cafe in the mall. I was living in Canberra at time it happened. The news and newspapers carried the stories for months after that as it was one of Australia's first mass killings. It was so sad at the time and everytime I go to Strathfield now I always take the time to sit in the quadrangle just outside the train station to reflect and say a liitle prayer for those who were involved. I will always remember them. Unfortunately not all memories are good ones. So I will take the time now to have a minutes silence in remeberance for those involved. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy, Done this train ride a few times. Since moving to the city I tend to take buses more often than trains and now that I've moved to near the Fish Market tram stop, I take trams a lot more often now too. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy, Here we go again Billy, evoking more memories from my past. Let me tell you, back in 1999 when I was living in Ashfield, I was working in Paddington at the old Scottish Hospital, which was no longer in use and they were just renting out the old kitchen (its where we did meals on wheels type of cooking). Anyways I'd get up at 4 in the morning and be down at Ashfield station by quarter to five, caught the train to Newtown and then I'd walk to work via King St, Broadway, Central, Oxford St and Darlinghurst Rd via the wall (is what they use to call it). Then down through Green Park go down behind St Vincent Hospital over the bridge to the end of the street turn left go down about 100 meters to the Scottish Hospital. I did that for about eight months. I'd get there about 6.30 quarter to 7, just before I had to start work at 7. I lost a lot of weight and built up my legs doing that. Wow to be young again. I used to really enjoy walking that route and this walk that you are doing reminds me of that period. Thank you again. A lot of things have changed since then. Still it looks like a good walk today and thats what makes Sydney so great. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy, Enmore Rd and King St, I used to frequent quite often way back in the 90's when I lived on Stanmore Rd. If I remember correctly it was about 95, 96. That was when I first discovered Marrickville. Every workday morning I'd get up and walk an hour and a half to go to Alexandria where I worked but on weekends I'd walk down Enmore Rd towards Marrickville pass the Warren Hotel way. I'd walk all the way to Marrickville Rd and sometimes the train station. A lot of the times I would just go to Marrickville library and spend an afternoon or just hanging out in some of the cafes around the area. I still go to Marrickville Rd today cause thats where Hearing Australia moved to. So I have to go there every so often to get new batteries or fix them if something was wrong with them. What I like about Enmore Rd and surrounding areas is that it all still looks the same. Just maybe some different shops. Australia Post Enmore used to be on the corner of Enmore, and Stanmore Rds. Now they have moved it to somewhere else. I still go down Stanmore Rd sometimes just for the nostalgia of it all. Again another great area of Sydney. Thanks again for the updated tour. Cheers see you on the next one.

Hello Billy, Chinatown one of my favourite places to eat. I been going there on and off for about 40 years now ever since Nana took me for my first visit. Way back in the 80's. She loved Chinatown and Double Bay for some reason and she always enjoyed the shopping and food there. Now that I live so close I go at least once a month its got so much yummy food. Thanks for the tour. Cheers for now.

P.S. Some trivia for you Billy, That high rise in Strawberry Hills at Prince Alfred Park is Sydney's first high rise high school. completed 2 years ago. Cheers.

Hello Billy, As you know I lived in Redfern for 20 years its a beautiful suburb. I don't know why its got a bad reputation, I never had any trouble whats so ever whilst I was there. All those new high rise apartments I was able to watch as they where being built from my balcony. I could see all over the city from there. Whilst I was there they upgraded Redfern Oval which looks really nice now. The blend of old and new makes the suburb very welcoming. Its got great shops and cafes. A lot of nice little parks for you to walk your dogs, it was just a great place to live. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy, Paddington one of Sydney's gems, its a beautiful suburb. Great shops, great parks and beautiful homes. I really love this suburb and have walked it many times. However not for a while now, so thanks for the updated tour. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy, Paddington is one of those suburbs I simply adored, I've walked the streets many times. I just love the beautiful homes here. I used to walk Piperlouise through these streets. She always had a good time. I miss her muchly. Thanks for this walk, I've enjoyed it. Cheers till next time.

Nice walk thanks Billy. I walked through Forest Lodge a long time ago, however I thought it was Glebe. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy, Auburn is a suburb I only ever by passed on the train. Funny though if I had known just how big the shopping precinct was there I may have had a closer look. It looks great these days with all the new highrise apartments and shopping areas. I never really had a need to go there as I didn't know anyone from the area. Its another one of Sydney's suburbs that has really come into the 21st century. Thanks for the walk around and your time. I've enjoyed the walk. Cheers till next time.

Hello Billy, Wow they have really put some money into this suburb those sidewalks look much better than when I last visited this suburb, again way back when. It was a very easy suburb to walk to from Parramatta. I never got off at the Harris Park train station, I had always walked from Parramatta or when I walked back from Granville. Its great to see this update cause it has been a long time since I've been here. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy, Granville is another place I would visit a lot, simply because thats where I changed train lines to go to different places in Sydney. I used to walk around the shops but its been a good 20 plus years since I visited the area. Its great to see this update. Granville looks a lot nice than I remember, its great to see the area again. Cheers for now.

A lovely day & walk through the city! Nicely captured as well. I liked that you showed the back streets as well, not just the pretty parts 😀👍 like 10

I love Sydney! Cheers.

Hello Billy, I've done this ride too many times. So I'll just sit back and enjoy this one, its been a long time since I been on the trains once I moved to the city area. Its pretty much buses and light rail now. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy, Back when I first came to Sydney, I was a huge train fan. (we only had buses in Canberra). So on my days off I would go on what I now call my train to anywhere and nowhere days. I've done this trip your on now many times, I'd sometimes go all the way to Newcastle, just for the fun of it. Although again not for a long time now. This line I always thought has the nicest views and stations. Thanks for the down memory lane again. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy. Chatswood I used to visit on my days off, way back in the 00's, I liked to go there because I liked the shopping precinct (I thought it was huge) so I'd go visit for a few hours and walk around just like you've done here, but about 15 years ago now. So its good to see your updated version. Cause I never drove, I was a walker and public transport taker. So I'd see a lot more than If I was in a car. I never went far outside the shopping area, its nice to see how well established this suburb is. Its also still as busy as ever, it was like this 15 years ago as well. Its got some very nice houses and apartments in this suburb too, but alas another pricey suburb. That park you walked through felt really tranquill and the mural was well done as well. Really nice. I will say this about Sydney though, "we have a lot of shops" Some of those new high rises in Chatswood CBD were just starting to be built the last time I visited the area. Its nice to see them finished, the suburb looks really great. I'll give it an eight out of ten. Cheers for now.

That's where our sun went too!

Hello Billy, I found it. This is the Kirribilli I wanted to see and I loved it, what a beautiful suburb. Those well established trees and gorgeous apartments. Its no wonder its pricey to live there. (but worth it) I'd live there if I could afford it. Kirribilli has a beautiful library building, I love all those old buildings, especially the ones that were built with style. Kirribilli house of course is always worth a look, it always reminds of The Lodge in Canberra for some reason. Anyway I really enjoyed the walk around with you again. On another note I've also discovered just how much content you've posted. Its gonna take me a while to get through them so hang in there I'll eventually watch them all. (Thats how much of a Sydney lover I am). So I'll probably just watch them randomly but I'll thumbs up each one I do and leave an interesting comment for you. Cheers for now.

Hello Billy, Town Hall has always been my most favourite suburb of Sydney, I always go there, in fact I was just there last Monday Morning. I believe in my opinion that the St Andrew's Catherdral is one of Sydney's best historical buildings we have. It stands so majestically tall. Although I've only ever seen it from the outside I've never been in. Of cause walking through Hyde Park hasn't changed neither has William St. Everytime I always go past all those eateries on Stanley Street. always popular with a lot of people around and a great place to eat. I also love how beautifully Darlinghurst area has grown. Its looking very established now. I used to walk around these streets many times when I worked between Kings Cross and Oxford Street. Its all pretty much the same but a lot more cleaner for some reason. Its is also still a very pricey area to live. I had to work two jobs. One thing that I always thought that was missing on William St. was a decent supermarket, when I lived around the area I always had to go to Edgecliffe. I think there maybe a Woolies Metro there somewhere now but I'm not sure. Anyway by the looks of the Kings Cross area now I don't think I can even afford to sniff the place. It looks very pricey indeed. Still this area is one of the great areas of Sydney in my opinion. Cheers for now.

This walk begins at St .Andrew’s Cathedral on George Street in the Sydney Central Business District before heading through to skim the edge of the northern middle part of Hyde park before going onto William Street near the museum of natural history then walking through parts of Darlinghurst then back onto William Street Before ending Up at the beginning of Kings Cross on Darlinghurst Road. Construction of St Andrew’s Cathedral began in 1837 and was opened and ready for service in 1868 making it the oldest Cathedral in Australia. The church is the seat of the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney. The architecture is of the Gothic revival style.

Thanks Billy. Can’t remember the last time I was in Revesby. Early 80s I reckon, in another life when I worked for the NAB! The NAB use to store all old documents (cheques, deposit slips, etc) in a building somewhere in Revesby. They’d keep them for 7 years then they’d be shredded. I forget where now but I went there once or twice way back when. Was that Revesby Workers Club about 10 minutes from the end? That was THE club back in the day. All the overseas cabaret artists use to play there. Cheers. Steve

Hello Billy, I'll just enjoy the walk with you today as I've not been to Revesby. I didn't know that about Sir Joseph Banks though, however what a coincedence, one of the suburbs I lived in in Canberra was Banks named after the above mentioned. Just a bit of trivia. Cheers till next time.

Revesby is a Suburb in the south - west of Sydney located 22 kilometres from the Sydney Central Business District and is part of the local government area of Canterbury- Bankstown. Revesby was named in 1913 in honour of Sir Joseph Banks , the botanist who sailed with Captain James Cook when he reached the east coast of Australia in 1770. Banks had inherited his father’s estate of Revesby Abbey in Lincolnshire England , so he was known as the Squire of Revesby. George Johnston , an officer of the Royal Marines who had arrived on the first fleet was granted land in this area in 1840 and his wife Esther Julian , who had arrived as a convict was granted 570 acres on 1st November 1813. The first school opened as Bankstown South in 1896 , now known as Revesby Public School. The railway station opened on 21 December 1931 . The local post office opened in 1955. You can get to Revesby by train on the East Hills line.

Kings Cross 😎👍🏽thanks for the upload brother been awhile since i was last there keep it up bro.

Thank you, very enjoyable. fantastic walk. Was Miniiton House at the Cross once the Mansions Hotel?

Hello Billy, Another nostalgic walk for me, I used to work in Llankelly Place for about 3 years back in the early 2000's. Kings Cross really has changed a lot since then. All those new buildings, not to mention its looking a lot cleaner as well. It looks like they are going to put new apartments on the old Bourbon and Beefsteak Hotel. I used to sit in the park just behind the fountain a lot. I also used to walk down through Rushcutters Bay a lot also, (I used to daydream a lot about making a lot of money just to buy one of those gorgeous apartments on the waterfront in the Bay area. Alas hasn't happened so far). I was always going to the Rushcutters Bay Park on summer afternoons and read a lot. Also used it as a thoroughfare to go to Edgecliffe shopping mall. Its nice to see Rushcutters Bay is still exactly the same except the greenery is a lot more lusher, which only adds to its allurement. I like that suburb very much. Its great to walk through it again with you, its been awhile, maybe 18 years since I been down that way. Thanks for the memories again. Cheers till the next one.

This walk starts on Darlinghurst Road in King Cross which is part of greater Potts Point Area in East Sydney - Then crosses over to go down Greenknowe Ave before doing a loop around Elizabeth Bay Road then Down Holdsworth Ave Before going down the stairs and arriving at RushCutters Bay Park In the Neighbourhood/Suburb Of RushCutters Bay.
