Really makes you realise that a lot of class warfare was at play. A lot of Scottish people were persecuted and sent there due to ‘pety crime’ often at the expense of wealthy Brit’s who would wield power in the courts to get away with exploiting poorer individuals on mass. Not saying what whites did in Tasmania was good because it was part and parcel of white supremacy and genocide of indigenous people which is such a profound injustice BUT in what relates to the specific circumstances of which the settlers ended up being criminalised by the upper British class and sent to Australia is well documented here.

Bloody love these old films. Many thanks to whoever recorded it, you did a wonderful job!

Why is the old upload private, and why did you put a colour filter over this one? Is it to make it look less appealing?

Tasmania is known as the European version of Australia, 15 to 20 years ago it was rear to see anyone who was of multicultural backgrounds in Tasmania. Even the local indigenous people there, if they don't tell you you'd never guessed. Living expenses were cheaper but Jobs were scarce

Check out oldmate's burners @ 2:50 🤣

Yes the good ol days I started out there 1981 as labour building the new Camp then truck driver in the Volvo N12 27 tippers. Absolutely loved every minute.

The mining an logging companies today send most of the profit offshore. We were once prosperous

Humans are so stupid soon enough all animals will become extinct thanks to human stupidity

1962 62 years have passed and how it has changed for the worse for mr average

I just bought his book. Can't wait to read it. It was nearly $100. I can't imagine how much it will be worth when this theory is PROVEN true.

Thylacine went extinct in 1936

Yeah use your voice .... Against a group of knife fighters and run as fast you can 🤪🙈

I'm keeping an archive of Plate tectonics videos and their corresponding KZbin channels. They'll probably want to remove this the future when people finally understand what caused the planet to grow. Then I'll put them all on a channel for people to laugh at.

Super interesting! I stayed at the Penny Royal in may this year, it was sadly a ghost town. Didnt realise those boats were functional with cannons and all! That's so cool

A far better time for most, employment was just getting bad for younger people though

Poor old helicopter pilot doesn’t even get a credit!!!

So many virtue signalling bleeding hearts making comments about a time and culture they know nothing of !

This footage would be post 1952 and pre 1954. The fishing boat transiting Constitution Dock at 2 minutes 14 seconds in, is Aklavik. She was built by Alf Cuthbertson in 1952 for Mosman Dentist Dr. TJ Cottee. By 1954, she was based in Mosman (NSW) and became the centre of a massive police manhunt when she was stolen and put aground on Newport Beach by a young gentleman with a mental health issue. During the hunt, two police officers were shot and injured. The young man was captured and was sentenced to 10 years jail. Allavik is back in Tasmanian waters these days and owned by my cousin Wade and I.

14:04 sounds like Swift Parrots

Also stars Bob Larkins

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?

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?

This tassie has gone for most

Love it.
