The Long-Forgotten Bennett Brook Bridge 

I'm surprised people are watching this. It’s basically the pilot episode!

Ok I stand corrected, those buildings in the satellite view were part of a tafe complex, while the community was just north of that

@@nywat not TAFE, that was the old Pyrton facility for children with intellectual disabilities. good ramble these days and down to Success Hill spring

Very interesting. Thanks for the info

Yeah boy the Whitehouse lol I grew up in Langford and went to Lynwood high and was frequenting Cannington h.s. cos the chics were different 😂 also carousel Kent Street weir the dogs the black track through Ferndale Lynwood basically everywhere you said. Great time in my life id say the happiest even. This guy Brendan is pretty cool doing these vids about our home def subbing.

Yeah worked there, public housing lots in lock ridge were very troubled. Worked in both Sydney and Perth and Sydney just followed in Our footsteps of creating public housing suburbs such as Minto, Bradbury, airds and Claymore which were very similiar to lock ridge and other places like midland back in the day

@@Whyyoineedahendle i bought me 1st house in lockridge , 2005 the flats were all demolished in 96 , the aboriginal camp on lord st was shut down early 2000s , even tho where all the flats were and all new housing is now , theres still heaps of constant crime there, claymore and airds were rough joints 2 apparantly never been there but seen videos , sydneys massive but only bn to the airport there glad i dont live there bugger that

@@mikenolzeynolan4635 yep Pyrton was that aboriginal Health centre and I’m pretty sure a girl got rxped there and commit sxicide(don’t want RU-vid to delete comment). I use to pick up bins in the shire of swan and surrounds and lock ridge was always different, saw some crazy things such as bomb threats and nxked people roaming the streets. A decade or 2 before that was Wexcombe in Midland, placed where Stratton is now and that was hell on Australia during late 70s. Vaguely remember hearing about shootings and how it went from a WW2 homestead for returning soldiers and became the gov’s garbage tip for people that needed public housing or had mental health issues that aren’t as recognised back then as much as now. Went to school with a bloke that went down a “different” route in life, causing trouble around Midland and surrounds, ended up having kids and they ran amok on the streets of swan view during the 80s/90s and he was in homeswest housing. I went and earned money driving trucks and town planning and still came back to Midland, it’s kind of a “no matter where I go Midland is my home” kind of thing. But yes Airds and Claymore were rough because prior to us becoming Townplanners the last group had used Radburn Principles to save money and construct a communised community which failed basically as soon as all the houses were finished. I look back at those Sydney suburbs down in Campbelltown and Airds+Claymore still remain, will have to go back one day to see if I remember any of the locals. But I sure am glad they demolished Minto because that suburb was chaos during 90s and early 2000s

Judging by the old aerial imagery, the dirt track appeared to go over the bridge. I think these logs are just all that's left of the supports.

@@brendansodyssey Yeah, not sure if the nails are remnants from when the top of the bridge was there or whether they've been put in at a later date to help people walk across the remaining log 🤔

The nails have been recently (within the past 4-5 years), bent over as they used to stick up about 2-3cm above the log. There used to be planks across the two logs and then dirt etc over the planks. Over the years the dirt washed away and the planks rotted, leaving just the nails and the logs. The logs were (last time I went across) really solid - even the rotted one.

Very cool. I was aware of the WW2 airfield but wasn't aware of its racing history. I should check it out before it gets swallowed by a housing development

Yeah, definitely more concerned about the bridge (and my camera)

I think he misspoke and was referring to the water mound below the soil where we get our drinking water.

@@maddiielisabeth3925 people legit drinking filtered sewer water so it makes no different its good for the plants above that filter the stuff out of the water before it gets to the ground water table also birds and fish poop in the water as well more dangerous local businesses have their waste put into the water not animals

Farmers everywhere figured that out centuries ago :D

Ulawa Grove was a aboriginal camp out there for a very long time

Interesting!
