Any idea where the lost Hobart Mikva eg; Ritual bath used to be? I believe it’s recorded in the records of the Hobart Synagogue.

The torium should of been built would of been realy good

As kid I swam in the old Olympic pool with school

The building at 0:27 my uncle use to rent out the far wing for a work shop about 10- 15 years ago. Was pretty decent space to work. Use to work pretty late there had a couple of odd experiences nothing much to write home about though.

Thanks Luke,first time to your very interesting site.Have been in Tassie for 20 yrs and love to find out the history of this beautiful island.

Paddy Dorney would be someone who would have more indepth information. Paddy is a walking encyclopedia of architecture, a brilliant man.

The IDIOT successive govts were /are responsible for the lack of rail services🤬

What a load of racist anti British crap/

Hey Angus and Doggo! I watched a lot of your videos and greatly enjoy them. I am actually in Tasmania now on holidays and have been in Hobart the past week and it’s been great seeing these storylines and discussion topics of yours in the flesh at their actual locations…. So thank you! 😁

He cock do you only own one sports jacket 😂😂

The so called “Grosvenor Expressway” would have passed 58’ under the existing level of our property, Highbury, at 136 Davey St. it resulted in a massive devaluation of the property and this was reflected in the eventual sale price. The purpose was to divert traffic through the Gadsden’s factory in Mole St, under Davey st and connect with Grosvenor St. Gosh knows what was going to happen after that. The whole concept was a design disaster.

We heard the explosion at work in Campbell st. And not long after the sirens from the close by fire station went off and the entire fleet took off downtown.

Protection too late i reackon

They did look.arfter it properly

Leave it alone

Oh my god we loved conellian bay as kids we loved locking the front doors of the small boat sheds and then throwing a rock on their roofs sorry we thought that was a bit fun but now iam in my mid 70's 😂🎉

Angus my dad worked in the leeching devision for so long doing round the clock work load, he ended up getting lung cancer from that death house and sadly passed away in1990,I can still reconise that acid smell. Good bye pop love you heaps.

Did have a thought 🤔 hmm but… they do make Golf courses big grass open bits of land. Good video. Angus Thanks.

Hi Angus, I've happened upon your outstanding history presentations & wanted to say thank you. We'll be retiring to Hobart in a couple of years. We really enjoy & appreciate your efforts.

Ooooh wa, your subbies, to die for, love your hairy legs and the way you cuddle and man walk your dog, just delightful. Thank you for sharing that alone, could care less for the content of the video!!! NO, I am not gay, happy for you if you are.

A mate of mine started the fire that destroyed the Dorney home in 1978. He was back burning down in the valley, something he had done many times when a gust of wind took control and the fire exploded up the valley.

It's an ancient pile of shit. It certainly served its purpose a long time ago. Tasmania has grown, and this bridge no longer serves its purpose. Being nostalgic is wonderful, but not useful.

Algerrathem over rated anyway, no rush. In your own time

Shag bay was our training spot when rowing training as schoolboys in the 60’s. It was peaceful then too.

You and the doggie have taught me so much about Hobart, thank you Angus

The piers of the bridge were quite visible in the 60’s when we lived at Triabunna. My only trip on Tassie trains was the annual boarding school excursion from Hobart to The Royal Hobart Show.

I worked at RDH as a Ward Aide on the Nursing staff from 1992 to 1994 (I'm now 50 years old). Great history and I loved working in New Norfolk at the time but as RDH downsized due to Community Integration I was transferred to the Department's Head Office (being the Department of Community and Health Services DCHS as it was then known as) at 34 Davey Street, 99 Bathurst Street, and 10 Murray Street the old State Office's building (that is no longer there). Thanks for sharing this history I didn't know half of it!.

Thanks!

Look out because he has farted so hard.

The cayzer pool on Bellerive bluff was omitted ! I spent many many days there recuperating after a motorcycle accident in 1972

Omg why is this country so not proud of its past and the great hard working people regardless of sex or colour! And to add The British 🇬🇧 all over the world made wherever they colonised better and very much prosperous without a doubt! Look where the Spanish or Portuguese colonised it’s a mess and dishonest! Let’s say you are always looking over your shoulder! Thank god the British colonised this country because it would have been a lot worse for all if not. Remember that!

Public pools, in particular all the WWII Memorial Baths weren't built to make money, they were were gifts from our forbearers for the benefit of the citizens. They should never be shut down due to usage/cost concerns, that's completely missing the point. All they are doing is diverting taxpayers money to some other bullsheet.

Thanks for all this info mate makes me want to study our history now

Thanks for that wonderful research, Angus. You've filled in all the gaps for me. I recall seeing remnants of the line on my first visit to Hobart in 1965.

Is the outdoor pool still at new Norfolk, remember having school swimming carnivals up there in the 80’s

Such a wonderful video ❤

I had a small average up Black Snake lane we loved it

With this current city council, the private hospital was never going to go ahead. And i'd say the old tennis court project will be forever in limbo. Bike lanes on the other hand....

More please Angus. As an Hobartian you're revealing our forgotten past.

Just found you and am loving the videos. The dog is gorgeous.

Oh no really it's closed for good? NOOOOOOOOO, I remember being there during school and with my dad and step mum, and the last time I went there was at highschool in grade 8, such good memories, but I didn't know that it's gone now, I thought it was still up and running.

nice to see the link trainer, i enjoyed a lot of time in one, but i enjoyed flying in a tiger moth far more

I recently found your channel and have enjoyed working through your laconic, poetic and insightful journeys into Tasmania's past. You should really look into Tartaria and the mudflood in Australia, an alternative view of our past. It requires an open mind but you have all the skills to peel back the (hidden) layers.

I talked about this crash and the other one in 1958 with my Auntie. Her school teacher from Sorell School lost his life in this accident. She said she was told it was a flock of sea gulls that caused it. The other crash she talked about isnt documented very much. It was a DC3 freighter (C47) coming into land and crashed into the water and the crew waited to be rescued by 2 guys from Sorell in a small boat. She named the guys but I cant remember the names. The rumour was that a load of white goods shifted while the landing was being prepared for. Another source told me that the concrete bridge at Midway Point (1958?) was held up from completion until the plane could be floated through the gaps in the old wooden bridge and then was dragged onto the shore near the Cambridge Airport and slowly stripped for parts.

Used to play on that old steam train as a kid with my cousin Mark when visiting my Aunt Elaine Clark / kobilinsky

Brilliant work, well done sir.

I started work at the National Bank in Burnie. I was 15½. My first pay and another bank officer started a fund raiser... all asked to donate a sponge bag and some contents. With my very first pay... a few years esrlier, working after school at the Caltex Service Station, priority for me was to buy a comb. No wonder I sort of begrudgingly purchased the sponge bag with contents. 😂

Did most of my growing up in goodwood and new about 10% of what you just presented and educated... loved it, well done and thank you.👏👏👏👏 TASMANIA.. I hate you & I love you.
