My Dad was the speed boat driver - I’m so glad this movie is available to watch because we only ever had it on VCR & that copy is long gone!
In our politically correct era, we need to ask, would the reconstruction have earned the 🌈✔ 🤔
Ya got tru blue aussie accent there mate 🤠
In our politically correct 21st century, we need to ask would this bridge project have been worthy of the 🌈✔
My mum was born in the Customs House Hotel, Hobart in 1931. It was owned by my g-grandmother (Bridget Tracey) at this time - and run by her son, the formidable, teetotal Hobart bookmaker, Reg Tracey.
Except we still have to stop when a boat goes under tge bridge
Beautiful animals
Like fishes to water???? it's Fish! the plural of Fish is Fish
I would dare to say that 'man' did not consider the mountains as a wonderland back in the 1820's but a bloody difficult landscape. - more like it.
The two women presenting this did a power of work but didn’t even get a credit at the end.
Great to see the organised, local industry in action..road and rail..sadly rail has been greatly reduced today..production methods thwn were completely sustainable. 😊
Thankyou so much. I loved it. Cheers, John
Quite advanced video for the time ...and did I see a young Sue-Ellen Paulsen ??
If the Earth was expanding we would be able to measure it. If we can tell the Moon is moving away at 3.8cm a year, we could certainly tell if the planet WE LIVE ON was growing. Total bunk.
Oh how I wish I were a time traveller and could free him and save his kin... 🙏🏻
My Island home❤❤❤
Thank goodness for Electric Eric doing this rebuild, everyone else still would have been scratching their heads to rebuild it if it wasn’t for him…
Lovely old pics,. Really enjoyed the busy, working Port ones..and what about the road up Mount Wellington!
John Honey in a cameo role. Well done old darling.
Just Beautiful🤤
what a pleasant land and the advantage of a southern hemisphere locale.
Was that Melbourne at the start?
Yep that's definitely Melbourne, 0:42 Flinders Street Station is the giveaway
Well filmed; I knew Peter McKinley, he used to give us amateurs lessons, however the opening shots of Hobart with so many high rise buildings?
That's Melbourne
This tassie has gone for most
Love it.
My lovely grandmother front and centre at 5:38!
Thanks❤
Hobart was a beautiful city back then. In the name of progress, many of these fine and integrated buildings were demolished in the 1960s, giving us the dog's breakfast we have today. One needs only to go to Launceston to see what might have been.
Yeah, true, but was the same in most cities..I think Hobart has managed to integrate the old with new, quite well.. up to now..will change when that monstrosity is built.
Their jaws are too weak for sheep killing! They where set up!
Hey when i drove into Queenstown i didn't have any of that funky music playing😢
Such a strange animal. He looks fake, though or course he's not. It's just so different from modern animals that it's a bit hard to process what we're looking at. Fascinating!
That’s because they are all bored out of their brains - I work with someone who is 1/29tj indigenous
Narrative would be good.
Cant you read? Are you Tasmanian?
2:45 did the cat just die down,,,?
Year I was born ,, just down the road in the old Sheffield hospital
👍🏻 great stuff
Thanks ❤

As the planet's size increases, its mass and gravitational force correspondingly rise. This necessitates a genetic adaptation in which organisms must decrease in size to maintain equilibrium. Concurrently, the augmented mass contributes to a deceleration of the planet's rotation. This slowing rotation triggers a significant alteration in climatic patterns, resulting in the transposition of climate zones across the globe.
This is extremely good quality
I love the instrumentals in all the old tv
Oldest brother was in the Australian Army spent over a year there . Helped out with transport on ferry's etc . Too young to remember much more.. incredibly it could have been a lot worse.
Shame on the sick pommy immigrants who slaughtered these beautiful animals to extinction. F them
This video is BS we know it is the hunters that got rid of them
The Blandfordia punicia shown at the beginning of the video flower around Christmas, thus their common name “Christmas Bells”, so it is very unlikely this video is from April. Christmas Bells at the final stage of fruiting by April. Other wildflowers shown also suggest the filming was done in Summer.
Is that Boat Harbour at 1:48 ?????
Did I miss the old stone Tourist Bureau building in Macquarie street where I used to work?
Where was (is?) the TAA building? 7:21
A lot of the new buildings in 1961 are still around today, but some are sadly gone. Someone needs to timestamp the buildings, what it was/is and what's replaced it.
6:20 onwards is the old Transport Commission building. Demolished around the year 2000 from memory. Noting the Transport Commission itself is long gone as such, having had a very long list of name over the years and most functions long since privatised or handed to local government.
@@shaun5552 Yeah, demolished to make way for One Collins.
