[@hwtours]

@@jaffa3910 No worries.

[@Japanican269]

Love it! I look forward to walking there myself, when I visit Sydney next year.

[@hwtours]

Yeh it’s a good walk. By the time you come out most of the renovations should be complete. Thanks for watching.

Awesome. Thanks for watching and for the recommendation.

I resided in Sydney 15 years ago on Oxford St for three years. Frankly, from the look of it, Sydney has not changed much, in fact it looks even duller today. Compared to cities like Bangkok and Singapore, Sydney is like a placid, quiet village. It is good for people over 60s to retire and rest their life in peace and contemplation though.

[@hwtours]

Not sure I’d describe Sydney as dull myself. Also those two other cities you mention have you melting in the heat for most of the year.. Much easier to walk around Sydney. Thanks for watching. 🙏

[@marcozolo3536]

15 years ago Sydney definitely was more placid than today. And yes Oxford Street is a lot more chill than other parts of the city, but downtown Sydney is definitely not placid by any stretch of the imagination. In fact many parts of the city can rival downtown HK on its best day in terms of bustle.

[@alvinkoh5556]

@@marcozolo3536 rival HK? No way!

[@marcozolo3536]

@@alvinkoh5556 been there multiple times Sydney is way more diverse and happening than over there. HK has 2 million people more than Sydney does, but in a much smaller urban footprint. Anyways depends on what you are into. Great asian food in HK, Sydney has best of both east and western food. You be the judge.

[@alvinkoh5556]

@@marcozolo3536 I didn't say Sydney is not diverse , but it's energy is just sleepy as compared to HK, Bangkok or even Kuala Lumpur. Sorry, Sydney is not happening at all compared to NYC, Tokyo, Amsterdam, and many cities in Europe.

[@richalderson6069]

Oxford Street was so happening in the 90's and noughties when I lived in Sydney. Several factors like expensive rent, lockout restrictions and COVID has killed it's spirit somewhat over the years.

[@hwtours]

@@richalderson6069 Like a lot of Sydney unfortunately. They need to encourage smaller entrepreneurs. Too many monopolies around.

[@johnwilson5162]

Try 33 Oxford Street in the 60's and70's. That was fun.

[@hwtours]

I looked up the historic record. I see it was called Patchs, later DCM.

[@johnwilson5162]

The stairs beside the store led to the first floor and the famous "33" gambling club where many a fortune was won but mainly lost. @@hwtours

[@evogardens]

I enjoyed my jury duty service too. Gave me an excuse to dress up nice, instead of the usual gardening uniform. Felt pretty special too; going into the city everyday, to the Downing Centre, and at the end of the day, being let out at a secret exit at the back of the court. Downside was being stuck in a room with no windows for 3 weeks, eating mainly sandwiches for lunch, with 11 strangers. After 3 weeks the judge dismissed us all, because we were shown some evidence that we weren't supposed to see. Great video btw, HW. 👍🇦🇺 Jim.

[@hwtours]

Yeh it’s a good experience more people should take. I was surprised to see what a critical role the prosecutor & defence play in the proceedings. They really can influence the decision regardless of the evidence. A skilled lawyer will almost always triumph.

[@janenothisrealname6789]

Brilliant street, best nights of my life there

[@hwtours]

It’s a good one. Thanks for watching. 🙏

[@logocafe7624]

Good one HW and your correct a little Aussie burger joint called BURGER KING was in existence when US BK entered the market. The trademark actually expired in 1991 but HJ’s had already established its brand so after legal challenges with Jack Cowin( look him up) and the parent company, Jack got his way. Well I think that’s how it played out. Certainly a colorful area Oxford St. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@hwtours]

Yeh that's the one. Lucky I remembered that. Man I was surprised how much construction is happening on Oxford St. I have since found this article. www.commercialrealestate.com.au/news/lets-party-like-its-1989-oxford-street-revival-plans-approved-1139597/

[@peterkarlin1527]

Loved your video,we used to live in Sydney but now too expensive.keep filming.

[@hwtours]

Hey thanks for the kind words. I've got another dropping tomorrow hopefully. So make sure you check it out.

[@openmindedwonderer]

Brilliant tour 😊

[@hwtours]

Yep good old Oxford Street. Thanks for watching.

[@spaceengineer1452]

The opposite is happening. Those renos are new office spaces, sadly. "VIP" lounge signs , have now been banned by Govt.

[@hwtours]

Oh right. Those VIP signs always cracked me up. “VIP” - everyone welcome. Haha

[@spaceengineer1452]

I'm surprised anyone would fall for those signs. "We want to steal your money" would be better...@@hwtours

[@carltwidle9046]

I lived in Sydney 1991 to 2001. I returned to New Zealand . I would never live there again , or visit it. It's looks worse than i remember it. All VIP lounges. I lived near Oxford Street, so i went out on the gay scene alot. Tha Midnight Shift has gone. The Colombian Hotel was a Westpac Bank. The drag shows were held at the Albury Hotel. The Oxford Hotel looks ridiculous , like a huge candy store. What a dump it has become.

[@hwtours]

Undergoing a tonne of construction. Thus all the boarded up shops. We will have to wait to see how it turns out.

[@carltwidle9046]

@@hwtours It's getting a revamp of heterosexual orientated businesses i bet.

[@hwtours]

@@carltwidle9046 Not sure. But I know they’ve earmarked plenty of spaces for more bars and entertainment.
