Yet another restored film from another time, another Century...!! Cruising on the Hawkesbury River, New South Wales, Australia back in 1979, and filmed in Standard 8 Cinemascope, called Kowascope here. Enjoy.

I have lived at Stanwell Tops for over 33 years but have never seen this reptile before!! It's Australia's biggest skink, known as a Land Mullet. Skinks usually grow to about 8-10 inches but this fellow had to be over 24 inches long!! Enjoy this rare look.

Another slice of Aussie life. With some friends at the Harbourside Restaurant, Wollongong Harbour, New South Wales, Australia and a sudden storm rage came up.

Another CCTV with people risking life and limb by just walking next to a dangerous road where pedestrian access is not allowed here at Stanwell Tops, New South Wales, Australia!!

My CCTV caught out this criminal stealing a delivered page at my neighbour's house!! The police have the raw footage and I hope they catch the low life...!!

This is a little fun movie I shot in the early 1970s with some friends when we went and mucked around in the now long gone sand dunes of Kurnell, New South Wales, Australia

Otford is located in New South Wales, Australia, adjacent to the Royal Nation Park. Take a few minutes to step back in time.

These King Parrots and their relatives visit me a lot at Stanwell Tops, New South Wales, Australia. Such beautiful gentle birds.

This poor unfortunate bird went straight into my window like a kamikaze pilot. My CCTV picked up the tragic event.

With a couple of photos of me as a youngster we then proceed to see me in time lapse fashion, mower mulch my front lawn covered in liquid amber leaves..a joy I do once a year...!!!

This Australian native spider is about our most deadliest. This guy was running across my back lawn. Very rare to see this but......

I see a lot of Australian native birds in my backyard but here is a rare visitor.

Our family home at 36 River Rd, Revesby, New South Wales, Australia from 1951 -1984. No longer in existence including the land it stood upon......another bit of Australian History for all time.

Here's a look back to our family holiday home (weekender) at Dolphin Point, Burrill Lake, New South Wales, Australia, on the land which Dad bought at a NSW Government Auction back in 1961. We were there for 50 years, reluctantly selling in 2012. Hope you enjoy this look back.

This is lightning storm with no rain over the Illawarra Escarpment, New South Wales, Australia captured by CCTV on Wed 13 December 2023. Rather spectacular, I've used time lapse to speed it up in places and also some slow motion.. Black and white/color.

Here's another look back in time to 1976 when a bunch of us went on two Halverson Boats (no longer in existence) to go cruising up the Hawkesbury River in New South Wales, Australia. Filmed in Standard 8mm with a CinemaScope lens attached. Enjoy.

Washed away in a flood in February 2023, we see the night before, after destruction and during reconstruction and finish in Nov 2023. The Hacking River is the lifeblood of the Australian National Heritage Listed Area of the Royal National Park, 2nd declared National Park after Yellowstone in the USA. Located in New South Wales, Australia, just south of Sydney..

Here's an usual cluster of ants, which I call Conspiracy Theory Ants as they all gather together and run around all over the place when disturbed...be that as it may, it was a most curious sight.....

Here's another spooky tunnel in my area with intriguing eerie tales of its own...do you go on the Dead Line?

As a trained Offset Lithographic Printer, I present here a video showing photos of my father, Ken Bond, in his early days of printing, and myself much later in my printing days. This is basically a historic record of printing in Australia which I proudly present.

The Great Train Hall is featured in this 2nd Part of our tour of the Thirlmere Train Station. That huge black locomotive at the beginning weighs 200 tonne...!!

This is the first part of a three part documentary on the historic Thirlmere Train Museum at Thirlmere, New South Wales, Australia. This about the beginning of rail transport in New South Wales..

Famous Australian Trains is what Part 3 is all about. You will see some fine examples from our Australian train history.

Here's another restored Super8 movie, this one from 1981 when a bunch of us went away for a weekend down the snow at Thredbo New South Wales Australia. Enjoy this bit of Australian history from last Century...!!!!

Here's a little bit of fun with young Baelan and his skeleton pals dancing in my backyard at night!
