What a brilliant show really good enjoyed watching it
Wow!
Love it
When is the next episode out? 🤓
Am I glad I saw Sydney in 1956, before it became just another City, I was also on the ship that took the first outside Telavision broadcasting U Unit out to Ausy, Landed it in Melbourn, later it went to Sydney. Much as I loved Ausy I would not wish to go back now. I still have a picture of it ABC TV. Thats History.
This is great...thank you
Australia is like a museum... everywhere they dig the find an archeological site🙆🏽♂️
Ah, this is nothing, try putting a spade into the ground anywhere in Rome or Italy in general 😎
superb Fantastic 👌👍👌
now thats wht you call beautiful stone internally look after it boys 👍👍
Great 👍 😊😊
❤❤❤
why can you not make TBM machine?
COOL
Why couldn't they use these tunnels for housing crisis worldwide, every 5 rows of housing has elevators to the top where a lush jungle with no concrete just jungle forest, people would love that.
50 Martin place looks exactly like a cafe in Montreal which was a bank before
Why did the TBM wanna cross the road...? Carpet crawlers heed their callers...??
well they couldn't have been in too damn big of a hurry or they would have had more than 1 multi wheeled transport. i've watched mammoet do it countless of times
Shame the over egged commentary spoils it all, like has been said before less drama more proper facts and better continuity, stop jumping from one site to another just to hype it all up.
You jealous😂
U
You're a bummer

Why didn't they drill and grout the harbor bottom first ?
Thank you for not using subtitles on foreigners while they talk in English. If it was America tv they would use subtitles on foreigners making it a bit uncomfortable for the speakers. I understand when its hard to understand you use it but in this show French guys speaks welll enough English.
Jesus there are a lot of fussy comments here. Complaining about the smallest stylistic choices of a completely free documentary.
One thing I know for sure... never bet against Australians.... their 'Can Do' attitude overcomes any problem they may encounter along the way. In a country with deadly snakes, spiders, scorpions, jelly fish, sharks, and crocodiles, fearing death is never an excuse for failure. In fact the word failure is not even in Australian culture.
was someone betting against this fluff piece we weren't aware of?
while watching them unload the huge tunnel boring machine im reminded of a video of harbor crane accident they are lifting a 295 foot private yacht about 300 ton give or take a few pounds the whole crane tips and the boat ends up upside in the water the the crane on top of it and sinking the boat and im sitting here laughing wondering what the harbormaster is going to tell his customer and his boss as his paycheck just flew out the window. disaster movies are sometimes fun to watch but this is a nightmare . i think i would be suicidal SOMETIMES NOT!!!! BEING FILTHY STINKING RICH IS A GOOD THING
Why do all these guys talk like they’re simultaneously chewing a baseball sized scoop of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream that’s stuck in their mouths? What language is that?
Some of the theatrics we’re quite annoying and unnecessary. Learn to tone it down a bit mate.
This narrator’s next job should be on a silent movie. He’s absolutely impossible to listen to.
I can't watch this series. Theres too much dramatic music, too many shaky cam shots, too much drama, too much "this is going to be an impossible job" too much swithing from job to job. Just tell me what the god damned hell happened, with some normal god damned music.
Television reality series formula. Hint: The right arrow on my keyboard skips 5 seconds ahead. Easy way to skip through the "fluff". I do find it hard to understand "Strayan" sometimes, but that is was CC is for.
What shaky cam are you even talking about? This isn't the Blair Witch Project. There are very few hand held shots. Maybe you're just having a stroke.
How sad driverless trains. Really bad idea
It's the future Matty
I kind of thought this too, being on a driverless train sounds like a very bad idea.
Do you go on driverless elevators/lift? They used to be lift drivers. Whats wrong with driverless trains, they can't go on strikes, be tired, forget something...
So repetitive and overly dramatic.
