Good girl sheep

Ayers Rock not uluru
Officially both
Some call it The dead Heart of Australia Central Australia The Heart of Australia 🤔
It's a rock. They could have at least mentioned the USS Enterprise.
One constructive critic. Try not to move the camera, or so fast, steady shots or slow movements are always appreciated.
Taken from a bus and hand held while walking around.
Are there any copper or iron ore deposits nearby? These mountains are very reminiscent of ore processing waste. A dense and dried homogeneous mass of earth. Near my hometown there were such mountains, but modern ones. And these processes for the production of enriched ore are very ancient.
The colour is down to rust actually - parksaustralia.gov.au/uluru/discover/nature/geology/#:~:text=If%20you%20take%20the%20base,is%20the%20rock's%20original%20colour.
This will always be Ayers Rock to me.
Me too
And me !!👍
Looks like a Giant Animal Heart.....
Great presentation ...much interesting information ....anything on a house in north Longford used by the Edgeworths as a shooting lodge now occupied by the Kenny family ??
Big changes since then
Yes indeed!
Like what?
The bodhràn is in bits,
Going Weak.
Wow old
Vwey good it brought me back a few years up Edgeworthtown Now for the Oscars
Its so great to have this record of Valerie.
Had to watch with the sound off, that music is too creepy for me.
Brilliant interview.
Great day brings back memories
I really like this one! :)
Thanks, we do a Halloween event ..usually live but due to covid we made a short movie instead, called The Woods
the precursor to Live at 3
Too bad the videographer didn't mic directly. The sound with the acoustics makes understanding the speakers almost unintelligible.
Footage is pretty one sided, you would never know this match was a draw.
Gosh, the oldest was 75, in today's society she looks 95. We have a president in the US much older than her. Look like all sincere and beautiful people, how poorer we are without them.
Thanks
It was all the Bacon, Cabbage & Spuds
Excellent show. Well done everyone 👍
Great video John!
Thanks. Enjoy our trailer and movie too
18 years, my God!
Great footage. Loved seeing a bit of the town at the end.
First County game I ever attended
Cheers for the upload
No disrespect to the fine people who participated in these programmes but why in the name of god did RTE have to subject the young people of Ireland to this on ‘prime time’ tv in the 1970s...the absolute definition of complete depression for kids who were already subjected to ongoing violence in schools by, in many cases deranged teachers. How did we survive??!
Boscos_box Well said. It was a great era. There was more respect’ for culture. The senior citizens had to get their turn too’ which they did. What will today’s youth remember’ when they get old.? They haven’t a clue what came before them. It will be sad if the only archive they will leave from the present time’ will be boy bands u2 and country and Irish. We owe a hell of a debt’ to the generation featured here. This show debuted when Ireland had only 1 television channel’ and there were no computers in Ireland.
@@michaeldineen8324 there was always computers in ireland
We left.
well by the time we got home from school it was almost over...
I used to hate this is a kid , they should have called it going to the grave . lol 😂
Random!! But thanks for uploading!
why do these people insist on pronouncing the name maria wrongly? The name is pronounced 'mar-ee-a' not 'mar-ay-a'
Hi Aleks the original English pronunciation was mar-ay-a but the influence of american English introduced the mar-ee-a variant. In the musical Sound of Music it's pronounced Mar-ee-a but in Paint Your Wagon it's Mar-ay-a - which might have more to do with the song structure than anything else I don't know that one is any more correct than another but it's possible that when she was alive her name was mar-ay-a.
I live on pound street Edgeworthstown
