Fantastic history on the railway to Brisbane

Great little documentary! I live locally and enjoyed learning more about the surrounding geography.

A great shame that Goulburn doesn't receive the rail services that it used to, when I was young. If it was at least restored to previous levels, residents could plan trips to Sydney and Canberra, for entertainment and medical visits, without being restricted by cost and timing of transport. As people get older, or more disabled, they are basically kept restricted to the area of the city because of these transport problems. Tourism would also bring more $$$ to the district with easier rail access.

I'd love to see these forests replanted in place of the invasive Eucalypt species on all of our mountain ranges. The rural fire fighters would have a lot less work to do, and the topsoil would be repaired. Thanks for sharing.

I just want to see the finished product. Curious, no humidity control, and no starter cultures. I doubt the normal flora on their skin was all lactic acid producing bacteria.

The 'Business' of 'Malhotra Witch Gang' and 'Joshi Witch Gang' is to 'impeddrelise' people in terms of offering 'Land, Milk and Honey' and on the other side of the Coin, usurping their land. This was done to '34 Atlasses'.

Great video. Shame some of the places are currently off limits. I'm looking forward to visiting Wadi Rum and Petra next month. At some point I'll travel to Iran and hopefully Afghanistan will be safe to visit at some point during my lifetime.

I've driven past New Italy so many times and never bothered to stop. I think I will the next time I'm driving past. A very enjoyable video. Grazie.

A lot of work - excellent result.

Wonderful Video! Thank you Paul!

Thanks for this. I enjoyed watching having just done a trip through the Tweed, Kyogle, Casino. Gorgeous places.

Supercool tradition!

BEEN THERE, THERE are NO ITALIANS THERE NOW, its just become a commercial profit for locals who have very little to do with anything GENUINE ITALIAN. Sad to see that .

Amazing photography. The opening photo looks very familiar. An awesome video. Great work..

Love it. So calming and beautiful. A brilliant production Paul.

Thank you. My mother spent much of her childhood in Wiangaree. Her name was Fay Olive. One of a very large family. Her sister, Noreen married Clem Burke and in Kyogle their entire lives there. Mum had many happy memories of her childhood there and married my father, Clyde Titcume in Kyogle, who was teaching at Coogal at the time.

Are you still making sausage with Apple and Cinnamon or was it the one time thing?

Hi Paul Our Driver's Group are planning a trip through Kyogle in May and I've passed on this video to the organisers, Paul & Trudy. I hope some of our drivers and passengers will not only watch the video but spend some time in Kyogle on their way to the coast from Stanthorpe.

Beautiful forest

Australia's first inland city

I sincerely hope that our continued evolutionary process does not result in further loss of our beautiful rain forests.

I love your work Mr. Michaels

Another fine production, Paul. Keep them coming - they are a valuable record of our wonderful land.

I was born in Kyogle Dad was sleeper cutter then a builder at WoodenbongId l like to make contact as I have an interest in axes

respect, very nice community and tradition, keep you fingers to next centuries

I came here for the salami…?

This is fantastic love see all of the different generations working together to do this. God bless.

Red cedar (Celiata toona) Australia's first export 1795 Then coal 1801

Minced the garlic.

What an epic story, very well told. Respect all around to the original Italians and the descendants for honoring them

Hi Paul, this was very interesting and enjoyable. Thank you for putting it together and sharing.

Thanks Joe, glad you liked it. It was certainly the trip of a lifetime and I thought well worth revisiting. I think I learnt more about those places in doing the research than when I was actually. there. Hindsight puts so much into perspective.

My god! Only 10 likes? Great video and narration.

Stopped in kyogle today from killarney on our way back to plastic city (GC) Its a great town....I could live here. Interesting story about Kyogle

Hey Paul! I am curious if I could use some of these shots in our travel video. I replied your message below. I would be happy to tell you more. Thanks in advance for possible cooperation :).

The creeks in kyogle have some of the best bass fishing I caught a 54.3cm 2kg bass in the kyogle river

Well done Paul. A real credit to yourself and the folk of Kyogle. The real backbone of Australia's townships.

Hello Paul! Are these pictures yours?

Wonderful memories of less troubled times and places, many now lost forever

Brilliant!
