This seems the sort of place where an episode of “The Fugitive” could have been filmed., i.e. Richard Kimble finds a quiet town to hide in and gets spotted in main street for being the only guy about. Seriously, Rainbow looks pleasant but I dare say that of the half the shops actually in business, half of these are probably someone’s labour of love or hobby, in that these are probably not profitable. Rainbow once must of had twice the population it once had. It’s hard to say what can be done to make country towns like this viable but at least Rainbow is neat and tidy looking. That’s a start. Running regular train services to relatively nearby Horsham might make a difference, too.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh gosh I thought this was city until I watched it growing. I was still absorbed by what I found beautiful timeless classic and elegant Melbourne Architecture is rather amazing mix of historical times Gothic is a t its best if you look 😊
Melbourne has become a joke. Back in the 1990s and early 2000s going out in the CBD at night was fantastic, it was packed and venues were rocking. How far has this city fallen, when it's now the last place you would go out in because it's dangerous and stinks like piss
Could you please make a video of the Melbourne to wanthaggi railroad because the last time it was in operation I was still inside my mums tummy at the time in 1977 I born two weeks after the railroad shut down for ever! And maybe another one of the Melbourne to lake eldon railroad because both of these places are now rail trails! I was born in the late seventies and that is when both of these railroads shut down for ever!😭😔🥲
5:23 Is that Melbourne's central train station, or how ever you call it down that way plz?> #Justwondering ..? ps. Melbourne CBD looks like it gets alot more light in it than Sydney's CBD 'well just by going of this n a few other uploads. 'Oh n is that Russell st is it? 'Also wat tower is that one plz my child 13:07 'yes the one your in? please?
right before the big H drought came n the 2000's came rolling in n everything sadly went down the shi t hole 😝😜🤪..And sadly just like Sydney 'Melbourne is nothing like this now or am i wrong bc i no sydney isnt anything it was like in the 90's io no that much 💯 ...!

Looks similar to provincel English 🏴 city's of the time yet so near yet so far Not a smart phone zombie In sight utter heaven Reminds me of my younger days great video 👍
When I came to MELBOURNE in 2007, Melbourne was still the same quiet and calm and not many people and we all had Nokia phones / Skype phone in our hands . Ticket prices and food prices were soo cheap. Today all prices are increased due to Heavy rich Chinese people investing and buying 90% of Melbourne 😣
Thanks so much for this footage. I can’t believe some of these commentators complaining about the quality or videography in general… people are so hard to please. I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I was 15 in 1997 & it was a wonderful time to grow up in our city! ❤
Back when Melbourne city council actually cared about the City and they did their job. Now they just care about being political and not doing their jobs.
Автентично,екзотично,но много ориенталско звучи.И много мутанти с анцузи бе!Парцалива публика.Публика,защото знам,че 60-70 процента само се разхождат,зяпат и най много да хапнат по някое топло кебапче...
Hello. It says that the church was built in 1836 and the first chorus in Bulgaria was founded here in 1868. I am from Svishtov and I like that you show videos from different years. I can get back in time and see how full the town was 20 years ago.
i was born 7 years after this but i still remember taking the old route 78 W classes up and down chapel street. shame they’re just reduced to the city circle but i guess it’s necessary.
Commenters saying the CBD was wonderful in 1997 are full of 5h1t. Equally, commenters saying the CBD is so much better now are even more full of 5h1t. This video was on a Sunday afternoon in winter, it's far less crowded and quieter than a normal workday so this is not what most workers would remember. But I do agree the things that made the CBD interesting / unique have today given way to endless corporate and half empty student apartment towers, overpriced pretentious cafes, phone shops, and luxury brand shops. Can you believe that in 1997 there was actually a hardware shop on Bourke street (McEwans at 0:39), these days that building contains massage parlors and a failed Chinese signed business. Nothing sums up the change in the CBD and the people that work/live there better. On a side note, this video quality is pretty poor, it makes it look like this might have well been in the 60s/70s. 1997 was not so different from today (mobiles and the web where already huge in 1997).
