Thank you John. Another outstanding presentation and a wonderful tribute to the memory of Reg Watson.
Thank you John.....another fabulous story. And a great legacy for Reg. A huge loss to Tasmanian history 😢
Thank you John.
Again you have made our important history alive and interesting. VDL stories of real people that bounce from the screen. I look forward to more please.

This was great. Really enjoyed it.
Welcome back John. A brilliant video as usual. A really thoughtful and comprehensive discussion of bushranging and the tensions between the colony's social strata (officers and authority figures, large land owners, the common man (and woman) and indigenous people) over and possession and occupation of land is provided in James Boyce's 'Van Diemans Land: A History". Boyce points out that these tensions were also largely responsible for the move to the yet-to-be colonised lands of the Port Phillip District (aka Victoria) on the part of people such as John Batman and John Pascoe Fawkner.
Ah, memories! Although I now live in the USA, my family were from Tasmania and so that is where I moved to, from Melbourne...to Port Arthur; just imagine THAT culture shock back in the late 1950's! I had hoped this excellent presentation would have gone longer, but the places depicted, especially in the P.A. area were indeed a trip down memory lane for me. Thank you so very much for this wonderful video.
what a great episode. RIP Reg Watson
..I brought a book from Campbelltown about Martin cash it still has a cut out of the Hobarton mercury from 1855 still in it....I loved my convict history I have alot on my channel well I did I just kept it private because I turned to hiking...there is alot of special story's but the fact is British still murdered people black or white on our own land there are dark secrets nobody wants to talk about but it's 2023 we should of been taught in primary school not now it's too late and it's a shame....some things like point Puer and the island of the dead nobody talks about anymore....true bushrangers where the true heroes of this country who fought back with balls and real hearts.....rip reg thanks for sharing your storys
And John thanks again been waiting for this good video nobody has done a good one like this thankyou Cobba 🍻🍻🍻
If you want more stories about Howe, Cash, Brady, and more important figures of VDL history and folklore, look up the Hobart band The Dead Maggies. They have songs about loads of them
I think I recorded them last year on my channel at dark mofo I swear
I love the way you deglorify the bushranger. Since a child reading the history of Ned Kelly, I was always puzzled why bushrangers were held in such high regard when there were others who had done so much more for our society who go unheralded. Then there are others, such as Batman, who were deemed heroes while sating their own last for blood.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you for talking for us, we have so many stories, even today, from every day, to sad and mysterious, to a ufo flap in i think 1968,69. To ghost stories. And other than Facebook no one tells their stories that i can find. I've found great stuff like your video, and a few others but nowhere near as many , unless something bad happens 🤷♀️😮💨🙂✌️💞.
Amazing, thank you.
Wonderful John. Hope to see photos of the bushranger caves on Mount Dromedary one day.
Send me a gps location and I’ll be there, I could only find pulpit rock.
@@ForgottenTasmania I will try my best. It is a bit of a mystery …
Thankyou extreemly enlightening.
So glad I found this video.
Thanks for the lessons and stories
Matthew brady has a hidden tree in notley gorge state reserve uo north were him and his mates hid out in the bush etc its a awesome place
Martin cash also had a house in montrose its now called the montrose house renovated think its airbnb or a priavte residence etc
Montrose house and Martin Cash's home are two different places..albeit both in Montrose Road
Michael howe has a lookout up from the marsh and also a hill after black mary the aboriginal girl who rode beside him
Martin cash lookout is where the photos were taken from over looking "the neck" not at all eaglehawk lookout that over looks pirates bay and doo town, which was originally a hang gliding ramp... you walk up from the blow hole rd to Martin cash lookout.
I’ll look into that. Maybe the place nicknames have changed. Beattie titled the photo Martin Cash lookout and that’s the one I recreated. Without the trees there is a panorama view from the blowhole right around past the neck to where he swam across. But it’s called Eaglehawk lookout now. Many thanks for the tip, I’ve got to go down there again so I’ll check it out.
@ForgottenTasmania I'm a local down here, id love to point out to you the Martin cash lookout that you can see from the dog line eaglehawk neck hall... I learnt a lot from my family and the oldies in the area, you would have loved to have met lynton who owned the taranna convict station, inn, post office.
Alexzander Pearce another good convict and story go watch van diemens land the movie....watched it after visiting sarah island and doing the Gordon river cruise
Martin cash lookout is a place where the hang gliders jump off and glide these days pretty rough drive up there
Very rough drive. I got my little Accent Sport in there, much to the amazement of 4WD'ers. But you wouldn't get me in a hang glider.
@@ForgottenTasmania me neither mate it was pissing down when o went up in the Subaru....awesome views but....I wonder if the track still goes up on taslistmap to the view
More 🙌❤️🇦🇺
Martin cash and his other escapees put there clothes on thete head as tjey swam past the dogs on the bardges past eagle hawk neck but naked imagine that after escaping port arthur mad bugger
The old jail that brady stormed is now a community centre for helping people with food and homes in sorell the marshells house is renovated 10 doors up the road with a plarqe on the front door yellow paint and.freen roof with roses out the front
1843? Constable William Ward was also a victim, shot by bushrangers at Avoca. Conway & Jeffs were hung, drawn and quartered in Princes Park Launceston.
Thanks for that. Horrible, but that was the prescribed punishment back then.
@@ForgottenTasmania they were hung and gibbeted. They weren't hung, drawn and quartered. That was last used in punishment under British law in 1781.
@@mattrich7998 Sorry, just re-read the convicts records is says "Hanged & Dissected".
@@atankie71 A lot of British criminals/convicts of that era were dissected for medical learnings, including grave robbing as well, including here in Australia as we're recently finding out.
Farrrrking Michael Howell 🇦🇺❤️🤣🙌
The Batmen. Ridge should be re named. Disgraceful
wow. No wonder the abos don't like BATMAN BRIDGE
