Nothing suss 😂😂😂

That woman was there at the perfect time. What a great meaningful conversation between you both. She's great for opening up the convo. Bless you both.

Maroubra is crazy cause half the suburb is rich as fuck and the other half is housing commission. I’m suprised the government hasn’t sold off the housing commission areas by now. That land is worth insane amounts

When you think you've rented a nice place & you look out the window to see Spanian doing an 'into the hood'

I have watched every episode exploring Public Housing across Australia. South Maroubra is pretty tame. I grew up in South Maroubra (aged 3 - 20s). I went back there regularly as my mother still lived there until about 2019. South Maroubra had Navy accommodation, and there were still some people with Navy connections there when we moved into our unit block in the early 90s. We did have the Bra Boys in the area in the 90s. They always put the rambunctious people near Lexington (Lexo). I was still able to walk to and from school and play in the streets with other kids without ever being hassled. You never saw needles on the ground on the streets or in the old metal playgrounds they had for kids (with those merry go grounds, rough slides, and jungle gyms). I was aware of people saying there were pedophiles near the large flats on Fitzgerald Ave. In saying that, it could be a bit rougher now depending on who has moved into the area.

You had the soldier settlement in Matraville. I always found the townhouses at Matraville to be a bit more gross and rough. You were calling it Duffy's after Duffy's Corner which used to have a Duffy's fruit and vegetable market, a mad chicken shop, a bakery with great cinnamon donuts, and newsagent. They rebuilt Duffy's corner into subpar units/townhouses with shops, but they still retained the name.

At Lexo, the hub used to be a TAB. So, the stores in the 90s were the TAB, bottle shop, video store, chemist, wholesale cake store, fish n chip takeaway, GP, butcher, Food 4 Less (supermarket), and I am pretty certain there was a furniture maker. The bakery came much later and then the Duffy's chicken shop moved to Lexo for a bit in place of the fish and chip shop. I think the stabbing at the bakery occurred in the early 2000s, so it was true what was said about the person upstairs getting angry with the owner for their early morning starts.

La Perouse is rough and so is the stuff around the correctional complex in Long Bay. South Coogee was less pleasant than South Maroubra.

I was also at Daceyville from birth to aged 3, but not on the soldier settlement side. The mad houses were originally for returned soldiers and widows (WW1).

Good to see he seems to have taken all the criticism to heart even though he’d never admit it, but this s a much better style of video to talk about the hoods rather then making it a huge meet and greet and stirring up trouble.

I really enjoyed this episode - the lady volunteering is the definition of what being kind and selfless is. Well done Spanian for documenting real life yarns - much appreciated 👏 🧿 let's OGG for the next episode 👏 👍

[Skybar]

THIS is the Spanian Video I like A LOT because its shows struggles, hardship and ordinary members of the community making a difference. When the video becomes a meet and greet circus its just unbearable to watch and thats when it gives off that vibe that its just glorifying the "ghetto" lifestyle and becomes a chest beating competition

[ntnun]

Spanios went from "into the hoods" to "how to catch a predator" to "its all eats" in one episode😂

My family were one of the first to move into the Housing Commission in Portland Crescent ( Stuart Mould Place). Early 1960’s, I remember concrete floors, no window coverings, etc. I attended Mrs Mullers Kindy from there to Maroubra Bay Infants/Primary/ High School. It was back then a fantastic place to live. The beach, playing footy for the Wombats. Great place with great mates. When I was there as a kid everyone in our block were friendly, caring and had jobs. It was truly a fabulous place to live.

You can see why Rabbitohs fans are so devoted. For the longest time, Souths gave people in these areas an outlet and something to aspire to. Something positive to take their mind off their surroundings. Same reason Parra and Penrith fans are so devoted.

Just to correct your history - it wasn't Captain Cook that settled in Botany Bay. Captain Cook actually only landed briefly on the southern part of Botany Bay at Kurnell earlier in 1770. Arthur Philip came into Botany Bay with the First Fleet on the 18th January 1788, but he found the place unsuitable and he moved up to Sydney Cove where he landed with the convicts on the 26th January 1788. It was the Frenchman La Perouse who was coming into Botany Bay as Arthur Philip was leaving on the 24th January. He actually landed at Frenchmans Beach (near present day La Perouse) stayed a few weeks, then sailed off into the Pacific, leaving the country to the British.

that talk u had with the Salvo's was so good. You no doubt have a big part in the scene we are proud to even see and witness that . Onward and upward Span.

I laugh so much watching your videos. I was in Parramatta girls home as a teenager and we were fed breakfast with weevils in it, scrubed concrete with rocks embedded in it on our hands and knees for hours till the scrubbing brush wore down. Locked in a dungeon for days with only a canvas mattress on the floor that was dragged out every morning so you sat on concrete floor all day no windows. 2 minute showers humiliation of body checks everyday just in case you scratched something into your skin. And our only crime was running away from home. This was one of Australia's shame the Government needed us to do the washing for the mental hospital. Love your videos cannot wait to see the next.

The lady who that man spoke of falling off her balcony was called Nelly. She was a very special person - a young mum of 3 kids. Her death a huge tragedy. That man who she was arguing with was a new boyfriend and her death was highly suspicious. RIP Nelly . You are not forgotten.

Daceyville was the first public housing scheme in Aus so it was designed to be a model suburb at the time hence the garden to house ratio, architecture etc.
