The old Rosella factory in Bell Street, New Town was the WPL warehouse in the 1970s & 1980s. I used to work for the Council in the mid 1990s and we used it to store trailers and other gear there at the time. Had been abandoned for a longtime up til then.
Wilkinson's Point contains the "ruins" from the casting yard from the Bowen Bridge from 1979-83. You can see the outlines of the caisson coffer rings and other elements of the match cast segmental box girder bridge before these elements were floated down on barges.
My Great great grandfather Thomas Lucas was given the browns rivulet land grant in 1820’s, the land grant ran from Browns rivulet right up into Sandy bay
Strangely philosophical, and very provocative. Letting a ruin ‘talk’ to you, feeling what it says. A most enjoyable, reflective clip, Angus. Thank you.
Such interesting and arresting reflections on Hobart’s history, more to notice and consider as we drive or walk around. I wonder too what is under the concrete slabs in our own small garden, apart from Victorian sewer pipes. Thank you again.
Loving your in depth and sometimes very unknown facts on Hobart’s past, so much history forgotten or “misplaced” in regards to the mansion in the lumber yard. Look forward to more videos like this as I just learnt about the old lime factory on the hill of old Collinsville road.
The Rosella factory became the warehouse for the old SupaValu foodstore chain, and Purity Supermarket warehouse prior to their move to Lampton Avenue, the floor of which I carted premixed concrete to. When Purity was bought by Woolworths it became their warehouse. Its now the SeaRoad Transport depot.
The glass at GASP cost 15k to replace apparently. Since it opened 10 years ago they've had to replace about 100, $1.5m wasted. It does look cool all shattered though but not when it's just smashed. I wish they would start on the rest of the Wilkinsons point redevelopment
I was born in Hobart, haven't been there for years. Angus you gave a funny strange feelin of home sickness.. Typical Tasmanian so laid back almost horizontal..well done mate 👍 ...
Would like to find out about the 2 wooden “Hobart City” signs in the bush on the left as you leave Lenah Valley on Kalamg Ave. 1 on the top of the hill and one at the bottom before the right hand bend.
Angus You do amazing good work on this channel and Through Research, and document a point in time like you do is brilliant. Plus the pictures you find are awesome and the way you do your filming is excellent. Thank You sir. Thank You 🙏🏽.
Thank you again. Fascinating stuff. I had never seen the Grove mansion before although I visit around there a lot and vaguely recall it burning down. It's such a shame we haven't been a bit more careful with our recent heritage.
Can you go down the Huon and do some history there as in the old monastery at copper alley bay and where the old jettys where, why Cygnet was called Lovett. There is lots of history here, something you will really be able to sink your teeth in away from the Yuppie eateries.
Another good video Angus. Out of interest, do you know what the big concrete slab that's under the pink glass art installation was from? It's a pretty sizable slab but obviously predates the art installation and doesn't seem to be tied to the docking pontoon
If you go there it’s written on a big bord the history of the slab and pictures can’t remember what it was for sorry Something to do with the Tasman bridge picture of boats and big Crain

You never fail to educate us on Hobarts history. Fantastic thank you.
Cheers, Dianne.

Thanks for all your work Angus
Thank you, Howard.
Love your work Angus keep it up
All I can say as a Tasmanian man is 👍👍👌👏👏
One day if I see you make a video, I'm totally gonna beep the horn. 🤣🤣

I miss the drive in. Can't have anything nice re: Wilkinson point 😥. 👏👏👌

I've walked my dog on Wilkinson's so many times - but now I'll never look at it the same way again!
Great work, I really enjoy watching them.keep it up😊
Thanks for watching, homes
Thanks for your efforts.
Cheers mate
Such a travesty. The Grove was a lovely property. Another great video Angus. We are being spoilt.
The assorted bins at the foot of the old jam factory chimney reveals what people really think of it
fascinating!
Another wonderful story, thanks Angus.
Awesome video again Angus - keep them coming. Love the Dog.

Slow development is part of Tasmanian culture. It goes was back at least 150 years.
Great video mate. I really enjoyed listening to the stories and film. Keep it up 👍
Drone work looking good👍
I wondered if you were going to get to the ruin at McKay's Timber. And now you have.
I had intended to mention that ruin here a few weeks ago, having known nothing about it but wondered for years…
I was born in Hobart, haven't been there for years. Angus you gave a funny strange feelin of home sickness..
Typical Tasmanian so laid back almost horizontal..well done mate 👍 ...

Good stuff Angus!

Nice video, thank you for your work and efforts in making us more informed on the history of a beautiful part of Australia.
Thanks, glad you've been enjoying them.
Excelent....every video is well made and enjoyable to watch, looking forward to many more....
Guessing that's the brickyards on the Alum Cliffs track, good spot
Another great episode Angus.
Enjoyed the history as well as the locations you took us too. 👍🏽🙏🏽👏
Cheers, thank you.
A great short doco again!!!
Cheers, John.
Thanks!
Thanks a lot, Rod. Really appreciate the support. Cheers, mate. Enjoy the wknd.
I remember watching the movie Jaws at the drive in theatre
Have checked out the ruin of the Grove house from Stoneman's nursery a couple of times. Such a shame.
If some ways it's the most interesting that it can be, as it is right now.
Can you go down the Huon and do some history there as in the old monastery at copper alley bay and where the old jettys where, why Cygnet was called Lovett.
There is lots of history here, something you will really be able to sink your teeth in away from the Yuppie eateries.
it's weird to thinks about how ive been to the same places as him and how close he has been to my house in this video
Wish they kept the old gaol in town. It would be amazing attraction now . Great video as always ☺️
Some of it is still there and it is an interesting tour. Well worth the visit.
Love your work. Have you given the Mt St Canice explosion any thought?
Love this series!
Do you have anything on the old mill ruins half-way up Collinsvale Road?
That was a lime kiln.
There's another lime kiln with good accessibility (not on private land) on the Lyell highway near Murphy's Flat (between Granton and Sorell Creek).
@@mrfreddyfudpucker2185 I visited there in part 1 of this series. Interesting place.
That place with the pink glass looks like it deserves its own video?

@@bjorndatlen6215 Thanks, I'll have to go check it out for myself, been a while since I walked around there.

It was the construction site used for the building of the Bowen Bridge. It's a wharf now that is occasionally used.
