My great grandfather was one of the master bricklayers who constructed Melbourne's shot towers. It was nice to see how the city one is being preserved.

The transitions and back to the future music really made this that much more enjoyable to watch. Well done!

One second in, instantly noticed the back to the future theme xD

Give me then over now - anytime.

This is amazing work. Loved it. The bttf theme is exactly the idea I was looking at doing. Magic

Very good video l liked Melbourne then rather than now seemed piece full

I absolutely love this video. Definitely one of my all time favourites. Well done.

Watching in early 2019. Melbourne has changed so much since this vid was posted its amazing.

GREAT WORK MATE, love how you used the back to the future music great work

I’m very much looking forward to seeing your video!

Back to the Future soundtrack music 🎶

This helped me soooo much with school

Love the music, great work putting this up.....🇦🇨👍⚘🎩

The Melbourne of my father and my fathers father meets my Melbourne I thank you for posting this wonderful historical video

Love the way you've done the transitions.

Old is gold

Great work, love it...

My great great grandfather and grandmother were the first to come to Melbourne from Tasmania when there was nothing there. My grandfather was the first brick maker on the banks of the yarra and worked for John Pascoe Fawkner They came over from Tassie on the Enterprise

I like this

Thank you so much for the upload. I hope they never modernise Flinders Street, I would be pretty pissed off it's the most nostalgic station in the city

I wanna time travel back to that time for 1 -2 weeks.

back to the future music !!!!

Thanks for posting. Well done

Nice touch with the music...Marty.

Good Job! Nice upload!!

you need to do a new one with all the new construction. I prefer the 20s.

This type of video shows how much incremental change occurs over a relatively short time.

wow 🎉

Good work!

The last photo with AAMI Park in it used to have a greyhound track in that exact spot prior to the construction of the Citylink tunnels at the end of the previous millennium. I was also hoping to see what Bourke Street looked like before it became a mall between Swanston and Elizabeth Streets.

Fantastic Pictures.

Quite funny that Melbourne was part of NSW until 1927. Explains a lot.

Great scott! Heavy!

Awesome pics. When was then my guess early 1900's ? Excellent work cheers

Reminds me of back to the future

Amazing! Loved the Back to the future music also

Very entertaining indeed. Thank you. Obviously you put a lot of thought and work into this. I was just walking down Little Bourke Street at that exact spot where the chubby guy is standing on the left at 1:28! (on my way back from the bottleO around the corner in Exhibition for a quick Sunday afternoon pick me up!)

I saw the planned "redesign" for flinders street station from a 1961 VR newsletter, basically a bloody awful massive brutalist "box" concourse with flat plane glass and pebbled concrete, the side fascia of the building to be replaced by similar flat slabbing. The design ended up being used on the spencer st upgrade in the 60s, also a thing of the past. So thankful this edwardian masterpiece has survived.

Station Pier, my fishing haunt as a kid.

Could do another one now as so much has changed in 14 years

Love the music. Reminds me of the soundtrack of "Back to the future". Love the "morphing" between the then and now. For a book version similiar to this see Melbourne: then and now by Heather Chapman and Judith Stillman

I was hoping to see a photo of the corner of Swanston and Flinders before the large Cathedral was built, pre 1880, there was a blue stone church and some offices, stores and a corn market.

Great stuff Alan you should be in Hollywood

Those sailing ships are amazing. To think it took months to sail from the UK to Oz.

I love this; but I'm a pedant. This should be called Now and then; or the photo order reversed. I know .... I need to be shot for this comment; because it's a great deal of work which I really appreciate your doing. Thank you .. wait .. 2010? Wow. .... soz for the pedancy and thanks so much for the upload

lol back to the future makes me want to build a a time machine

😍😍😍😍

Hey, I know this is an old video, but im doing some animation and was wondering if anyone could link me the pictures used so I can use them as reference. Thanks.

Have been away 10 years but my heart belongs to melbourne.

What is the music, please?

Nice vid, music is on cue, but it should be called Now & Then as the contemporary pix appear first. :)

You got it wrong. The early photos should be 'then' and today's photos should be 'now'. Not the other way around, 'now' and 'then'. LOL.

Some things were more beautiful then than now such as station pier and Swanston street?

Anyone know what music this is ?

x2 mate.

Should be titled "Now & Then".

Yep, most definitely Back to the Future.

wow

very outdated now but good video

The now is starting to look dated too.. Maybe its time to make a new one so the now can be the then can become the before the then

best comment ever seen on youtube

Who else finds the music creepy

SOUNDS LIKE BACK TO FUTRE THEME

How is this artificial or homosexual? It's awesome cos it has Melbourne and back to the future music

I'm from the land down under

Melbourne - Through Time, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZqGh6Sk1rnIhHU.html

Only if the Predator is going to get out of a Delorean.

I'm pretty sure it is from Back to the Future..

Melbourne now has posters saying, "Ask a Local" with the face of an asian. yes, melbourne is now mekong.

REPO

Maybe you should retitle your video - "You are all insignificant"? Thumbs up anyway - I already knew that.

😂😂

before the nanny state was better.

no + ratio + deactivate

That is one ugly stadium! Who thought that was a good idea?
