My favourite bridge is shown in this clip.

Im trying to find pictures from the late 1980's with the old coles and fish ponds.

My tightass Yugoslav grandmother always felt the pinch when I hit her up for 20c for pellets to feed the fish.

How many old wogs told their grandchildren off for asking for a measely 20c?

Looks like not much has changed in Bankstown? Lol

Saw this a little while ago... little bit before my time, but a cool look back at the past no doubt...

It's funny, my mum talks about how her father was ill and the doctor suggested they move to a rural area, which in his day was surrounding areas of Bankstown

I hate that damn bridge. It was too narrow for the cars underneath it. Good thing they revamped it a few years back.

The women all looked like characters from Scooby doo in the 70's

I loved living in Campsie back in the late 80s/early 90s. Wouldn't live there now.
My grandparents lived in Campsie/Belfield their entire life. As kids we'd sleep over weekends at their house and walk to Belmore Sports Ground for the games. :grinning:

Yes I do. Up around Edgar and Marion st.

It's got a villa complex on top of it now I think?
Thats it, I remember when they built the villas, had my first school girlfriend there.
