- In 1997 Newcastle celebrated it's bi-centenary. This documentry was put together by the local TV station, NBN, to mark the event. It starts off from the time when aborigines lived in the area & then goes on to tell the story of the working class people,many who were in the coal mining & steel industries. It shows the fun they got up to in their spare time, enjoying the beaches, lake & other lovely spots unique to the area. It also spotlights some of the local sports people,entertainers,etc, that have become well known over the years,through their achievements.

Wonderful video. Thanks for the memories that I enjoyed in my 80 years. Born in Cooks Hill but now a Lake Macquarie girl. Shame about having to alight from train to light rail. I still enjoy the Newcastle foreshore, greatly improved. Shame about the lack of good shopping. I imagine inner city becoming solely residential in the future.
Thank you,excellant doco
Phil
Thanks
Olivia does have a connection with Newcastle her father was a lecturer at Newcastle Universality she may be UK Born but she was Aussie raised RIP and thanks for the great hits over the years
she sure does
Blast from the past!
That song bookending the doco is quite awesome and proud but evocative of the (outdated) studio tools available at the time you'd think it was 1988 all over again. Doco could have easily gone for 1 hour+ possibly including a nod to the regions railways a bit more and now/then comparisons of the CBD/shopping districts.
@34.48 NBN Televsion now known as Channel nine
😔💔
Let's stop arguing about the founding dates & do something about potentially catastrophic Sydney levels of traffic in Newcastle! Seriously, it's not just around the John Hunter Hospital.
IWe used to make steel. We used build ships. We used build trains. We used to build lamps. Until the government thought it knew best. Fully dependent on overseas imports now.
where can i hear this song again in full? @43:39
Might want to change this to last 200 years, because the aborigines were here long before the anglosaxons came
i dont think they're gonna change it buddeh
Wasn't called Newcastle before 1797 by the aboriginals, plus they got acknowledged ar the start of the film
It's a pathetic squabble by elite leftist. It occurs in Scotland also now have bilingual signs showing Gaelic but 1% use it or even understand Gaelic
Interesting history.
Just to think a couple of years later the steel mills would be closed
yes that was a backward step i miss my job lass
@37:46 olivia stayed 8n Newcastle while her father attended university she's not from Newcastle as someone pointed that out
Six people are from the central coast
Livvy does have a Newcastle connection
What about Thunderbolt?
Notice no obese people. They were all slim in the early stages and took pride in what they wore and looked
What's the the fez, uncle Rex?
i have to disagree with one person livvy was aussie raised even though she was english born but we still consider her an australian
2021--- trams are back, but no DJ no railway the place is dead
Actually, Newcastle's *REAL* Bicentenary was 2004. The 1797 settlement was aborted within two years of its establishment, and William & Mary Bryant *DID NOT* come ashore near Nobby's, they landed in the Lake MacQuarie area at what is now Glenrock Lagoon.
@Neil Forbes correct Newcastle was indeed established in 1804 but they choose 1997 as their bicentenary not much a big celebration what i heard
@@top40researcher31 Newcastle is a laid-back society. We(I'm from Stockton, originally) don't get "carried away" with the pomp and razz-a-ma-tazz. Oh sure, there are some decorations but that's just so the city's *powers-that-be(council)* can feel like they're doing something to celebrate. For the rest of the population, they just get on with their normal routine. But choosing to celebrate 200 years since an aborted effort? Like snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!
@@neilforbes416 Stockton ahh yes i heard that place was in the news recently
@@top40researcher31 For all the wrong reasons.
@@neilforbes416 yes very sad
The fez were the cops
Newcastle regarded as a bogan city
This show was made 7 years too early! Newcastle was established *properly* as a settlement in 1804. Newcastle in 217 years old in 2021. The settlement of 1797 cannot be counted or even recognised as it was aborted well before the turn of the 19th century which began on 1st January, 1801.
@Neil Forbes just think by the year 2054 Newcastle be celebrating its 250th with no celebration I can imagine
@Neil Forbes you heard that Melbourne was hit by an earthquake this morning 5.6 the largest to ever hit the state of Victoria and yes i felt the earth move and I believe it was felt far away as Newcastle
@@top40researcher31 Actually it was reported as 5.8 on the Richter Scale. Newcastle's quake of 1989 was 5.5 and this Melbourne quake spooked the Newcastle residents because the Newcastle quake is still within living memory for many Novocastrians.
@@neilforbes416 yep they be thinking oh no not again
@@top40researcher31 Newcastle was "spooked" by the quake but realised it was happening elsewhere.
Or federal cops
37:38 Olivia Newton-John *WAS NOT EVER* from Newcastle! She lived in Melbourne for much of what time she spent in Australia after migrating to Australia in her pre-teen years. Her *ONLY* brief(blink-of-an-eye) connection with Newcastle was that her father was, for a few years connected with Newcastle University. Her *ENTIRE* recording career was spent *OUTSIDE* Australia, first in Britain where she recorded for *PYE Internatonal* then *EMI* before moving to the USA where she signed to the *MCA* label. *AT NO TIME* did Olivia Newton-John *EVER* set foot in *ANY* Australian recording studio!
did she stay in newcastle while her father was teaching at the university
@@top40researcher31 Not long enough to be noticed by more than a couple of people.
@Neil Forbes at the time she was on a televison kids program called The Happy Show that was only shown in Melbourne and Brisbane at the time and appeared in a television series called a funny thing happened down under
@@top40researcher31 Brief TV appearances didn't go anywhere for her. She didn't score any recording contract with EMI, Festival, Astor, W. & G. or any other label. It wasn't 'til she got to England that she was picked up and signed to PYE International Records that her recording career started in the very early 1970s.
@@neilforbes416 she did record her first single with a song called Till' You Say You'll Be Mine from 1966 at the age of 17 on the Decca label the record in good condition would cost you $1,716 I can buy a sound system at that price LOL
Really weird how anti union it sounds
