Geelong History Overview

[@chrislee2983]

Love to know the history part. I stayed there in 1984/1985 while I was studying at Deakin. A peaceful place indeed with great people. I spent no less than an hour , each time, on the phone with my former landlord Gary whose is an enlightening guy to me .It always gives me fond memories of the nice people there.

[@bryce6744]

Great video portraying a great city with a great future!

[@HankWyllie]

I wouldn't say a great future as the CBD is dying!

[@OzLeedsCrew]

Born and bred. Unfortunately the City is run by complete muppets.

[@SteveSmith-zz4ih]

You forgot to say greedy corrupt muppetz, it was a great place in the 60's and 70's, i would NOT live there now. Our country is going backwards at a alarming rate because of these UN glory seekers and massive corruption, who owns our country now, Foreign countries because the Pollies sold us out.

[@marionsmith3851]

Yes born & bred. There but haven’t lived there for 61 years 😂 loved it when I lived there,

[@susiedellamonica312]

C F exactly

[@candacepreppy4080]

Your the mupptet tbh

[@phillipwest2478]

It is sadly not the same Geelong that I recall as a boy 50 years ago. Historical buildings re-developed or demolished all at a whim. Fools have make changes then disappear.

[@brusse]

Coming from Norway to visit friends in Geelong for the third time soon. Love your city and the Bellarine!

[@alwyn626]

All of the industry they mentioned... is all gone now. My beloved Jackos meatworks. I loved working there. Now living in Brisbane where the warm weather lasts longer.

[@colliric]

Brisbane is a great city, even today. You definitely upgraded. Lol.

[@HankWyllie]

Ha ha@@colliric

[@RiverDanube]

What a load of nonsense. He says that Geelong has now advanced with a focus on education, health services, administration, specialist manufacturing and the new knowledge economy, these are just necessary businesses in a city, just like supermarkets and shops. The loss of the production of tangible goods can only be seen as detrimental.

[@felicitydeikos5250]

Liked Geelong in the 80s and 90s.

[@ColinJeffrey]

I was quite fortunate to have visited Geelong back in 1970 to 1974 with my time in the merchant navy. I have very good memories of your beautiful city. I'm looking for a motel/hotel Or big pub. Forgetting the name but thinking on lines of 4 bells motel 3 bells hotel. but even then I could be wrong there? The place was not far from the refinery? Or where we berthed at the time. Can you help?

[@donwallace2491]

Could have been the Sundowner hotel,later known as the Bay City Hotel in Corio

[@pankaceman6179]

very nice vedeo!!

[@vincentfalsaperla]

Plenty of traffic nowadays and all going nowhere.The city life is no more unless you like the malls.Every one is under one roof and eating shit there...The old shops are no more.No entertainment or culture,the night life is non existant and everyone is either home or have to venture to Melbourn for the spark of life. No imagination is here.

[@CulturaGeelong]

Fantastic!

[@ar1bee]

I love how my whole grade watched this in 2019 Cause our term was about vote 1 Geelong. Don’t mind my comment OwO

[@ashleyschooneman2998]

Great days back then,way too many people live here now

[@ElementEvilTeam]

RIP geelong

[@dougbarker3019]

LOL! Talk about trying to gild the lily or make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!

[@gabrieleurban90]

Pity they tore down so many of the old buildings. It would have been a tourism draw.

[@wonderingwolf2332]

Gabriele Urban you can go to Ballarat for that 😂

[@Resurgam1901]

Yes, but think of all the Councillors and Developers who died happy as a result.

[@Resurgam1901]

Whats that annoying sound in the background?

[@ashleyschooneman2998]

Can you please tell me,what happened to the Wadda Warrung people,anything written about them,thank you

[@ZingOnMate]

meh, Hoo cares rlly

[@marleneboyd-wilson1268]

I really care what happened to them because the land was theirs. They managed it well without pollution the area remained pristine. The same can not be said now.

[@marleneboyd-wilson1268]

@Bill Carter Rule one : never ASSUME anything. I don't live in Australia.

[@thebige7302]

that wool scouring building at 1:49 is still there but i'm not sure what exactly is happening

[@kaihinton6623]

I remember it being round

[@ZingOnMate]

probably shut down

[@ZingOnMate]

ur a weirdo

[@dychak]

The video did not mention how the natives disappeared, killed or survive in the city.

[@kaihinton6623]

Full of bogans

[@creativegeelong9217]

Check out the series of documentaries about Geelong’s industrial buildings being repurposed for creative uses. Creative Geelong’s KZbin channel or www.hc2ch.com

[@petermilley]

Why the bad and distracting electronic sound effects in the background ?

[@ZingOnMate]

[@infinitydude0994]
