The F4: Melbournes Forgotten Freeways Philip Mallis 2021-12-22 | The F4 was a proposed new freeway proposed mainly to act as a bypass route parallel to Bell Street. Only part of it was built, what we call today the Calder Freeway and parts of the Tullamarine Freeway. But what if the section east of Essendon Airport was built, and what would the route have looked like?UPDATE: Sorry but yet again, the YouTubes have nerfed the video quality. So if it looks a bit grainy or strange, that's why.

The Pipe Walk - Hiking the Yan Yean Pipeline Philip Mallis 2020-12-09 | In the 1850s, the newly-independent colony of Victoria set out on an ambitious project to build the largest water infrastructure system in Australia: a 32 kilometre pipeline from Yan Yean Reservoir to Melbourne. This is my journey to walk its length and understand its history and stories through hidden ruins, overgrown tracks, impassable bridges and stinging nettles.-------------I acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands on which this video was filmed, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people.

Bees attack drone Philip Mallis 2020-12-05 | Was filming in Koonung Creek Reserve in North Balwyn at about 50-60 metres off the ground. Some of the local bees didn't like that.It took me a minute or two to notice the bees in my screen. As you can see in the first shot, they were only on one side of the drone to begin with. Once I realised, I brought it down as quickly as possible which I figured was the best thing to do.The drone was fine afterwards, no permanent damage. Did take a while to clean though.
