“Botany sewage farm”
Video shows Manly/North Head sewage works.
Other than that, great documentary.
As a Sydneysiders I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Elizabeth Farrelly's description of Sydney is so clueless. Apparently, she wrote a 'book'? Could you imagine someone from the 1790s having an idea of the scale of the Australian continent after just stepping off a ship in Sydney & thinking, "orh, look at me! I've got a whole continent to play with." Effing ridiculous. All these 'convicts' & free settlers just wanted to recreate what they had left behind in the mother country. The claims she made is ridiculous, no education? Francis Greenway an architect, no skills? what! Didn't stonemasons carve the sandstone, no sense of the future? John Macarthur, founder of the wool industry. No educated immigrants? From 1831, Britain paid educated people to immigrant to Australia. A total airhead
I love Sydney but Sydney has become a struggle to live in it was good in the early 2000's but now house prices/rent is out of control 📈
Who else thinks this

One needs to earn $1700 a week after tax to live comfortably in Sydney
Sydney is the best city I think
👌👌
This is only about the 'Harbour City' - a Dreamcatcher as one described it.
The majority of its population is in Western Sydney; for all intentions a completely different city; thank heavens.
It's pragmatic rather than hedonistic. It's authentic rather than narcissistic. It's 'work city', not 'wank city'.
It's where architectural "icons' don't overshadow the people. It's about gritty living, not just exuding a lifestyle.
It is Sydney's real centre (literally) and its cutting edge, not just the sugary icing or touristy tinsel on top.
It's about where people come to become Australian, not just where they visit to soak in the prettiness
It's the stone that the builders rejected, that is increasingly becoming its real cornerstone.
Paint me a picture of how you better develop a city like that and I'll be interested.
@@KanyeKetchup Each to his own. I've lived in places like Vaucluse and equivalents elsewhere, and ran businesses with people from Pittwater. And for a while I thought the same. Until I realised that affluent areas also have their own vices. They're just more sophisticated, white collar and dressed up.
However, I've had more deep and searching discussions with people from Penrith and Blacktown than with anyone from the east or north. With the latter, mostly it was all about property, image, the wine and golf. Getting below that surface was a real stretch. And I've seen far more junkies in the Eastern Suburbs than in the west. That's not to say I haven't also found really genuine people there as well. Class is a crock. The west is rougher, but it is often far more authentic.
First comment 😀
Ruined by the presence of Elizabeth Farrelly
lol how to build a city to house Chinese and Indian mass migration without the actual houses for them and locals to live in
Sydney is a beautiful mess

Personally I think Sydney is a massive design failure. Just awful to transit in any fashion. So cold and unfriendly. No thanks.
That's because Sydney wasn't really designed with any foresight initially, it just kind of organically grew using goat paths and exisiting trails made by indigenous people.
Sydney wasn’t a planned city like Melbourne and Adelaide, even Brisbanes CBD has a better grid layout than Sydney. Sydney reminds me of London, don’t come at me I’m not talking about weather obviously but the maze like winding city street layout gives me London and the harbours and other smaller CBD’s like North Sydney, Chatswood, parramatta give me New York City - New Jersey harbour vibes. I wouldn’t call it a failure otherwise a lot of world cities are failures, it’s actually rare for cities to be planned and gridded like Melbourne.
Let me guess, you’re from Melbourne.
@@ashdog236Have a look at the map and the topography of sydney - half of your grid would be underwater and the other half would be running up and over hills (and grids don’t work on hills)
@@robman2095 This is true, San Fran has a wonky grid for the same reason. Planning proved difficult because the city hired an inexperienced planner who didn't take SF's hilly topography into consideration when drawing up its plan. They had to flatten a huge chunk of its hills to implement a grid.
I'm a fan of grids when it comes to navigating my way through a city, but something about unplanned cities are so unique. They offer much more interesting perspectives to view the city / take a photo.
