If you were a kid in the eastern suburbs of Sydney in the 1970's, Double Bay bowl was where you went to go 10 pin bowling. Changed a hell of a lot since then.

Wow I didn’t know that. I’d heard there was one at Rushcutters Bay once upon a time. Was it big in Oz back then or were they placed for American servicemen during the wars?

@@hwtours not sure, but the building or was in was probably 1950's or 60's. I was actually from rural NSW, but used to holiday every year with our cousins in the eastern suburbs. Ended up moving to Sydney for a couple of years in the late 70's- early 80's. Ended up in Melbourne, but still have hundreds of great, nostalgic memories of that great city. Have walked every inch of the cbd, and Bondi Junction, and beach many, many times.

@@hwtoursI don't know if you can advise me,but my friend who is from the U.K is looking at moving to Manly from here in the UK. What he'd like to know is this,is Manly expensive to move to as he's considering a small appartment there plus cam you eat and drink reasonably cheaply?If you could answer my questions I would be most grateful. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas. From Brian & Dora (The cat) here in the land of the poms.

@@BrianKitching-wv5nh Sorry missed this one. Answered the realestate question in the other comment. In regards to food. You can still find reasonably priced food in Oz. I don’t think we are as bad as other countries. But there is still obvious inflation baked in. Also we have fast paddock to plate times. So anything you do eat provides a good meal. Maybe I’ll do another short with a grocery haul to give you a better idea.

Very nice video! Well, I wouldn't mind owning a house in that area 😋. But the closest I got to that was a job as a dishwasher in a restaurant in Rosebay. But after a couple of weeks I changed to a job at Holdens Car factory, for better pay. Anyway, I'm looking forward to your next video!
