Lost City of Glenorchy Part V - The End

Any gifted communicator as calm, intelligent and thoughtful as this should be in Parliament. Vote Angus.

[@angusthornett]

I'd never get elected.

[@catrionahall8435]

@@blackdogRexy it would be good to have many more people with these qualities in parliament, generally the voters are certainly not getting value for our investment currently.

A great ending to a great series.

[@angusthornett]

Thanks, yeah, felt like a good way to end the year.

[@leandabee]

Thanks Angus and H Dog ❤

[@angusthornett]

The Dog and I thank you very much. Hope you have a good Xmas and in New Year you'll keep enjoying the content on this channel.

[@leandabee]

@angusthornett absolutely will continue, and have a wonderful chrissy and new year 👌🎄🤶

[@sandytiffin686]

I didn't realise my old home town had so many relics of the past. I have been enjoying your series immensely; I almost feel nostalgic! I once lived next door to martin Cash's house, and have been inside. No one takes much notice of history in that down to earth, working class city. Thank you!

[@angusthornett]

Generally speaking people aren't interesting in much of anything, including history.

[@rolfhendersven6282]

Thanks

[@angusthornett]

Thanks again, mate. This support is felt.

[@rodcornelius9474]

What a great series by Dog and Angus. Great research and what a shock to see Tololsa St Reservoir gonski. Last time I was there for a school picnic in the 80's the place was quite pleasant and full of water. Two ugly water tanks is progress I guess. Loved all the vids during the year and look forward to see what Dog and Angus have in store for 2025.

[@angusthornett]

Thank you, Rod. Appreciate it greatly. Yeah, they’ve done a good job repurposing the site. In time it will become an even better park. Seeing it from above is an eye opener. Happy New Year to you.

[@leandabee]

I totally agree about the water tanks. That whole area looks awful now even if it is supposed parkland 😢

[@angusthornett]

@@leandabee I do think it will improve over time as the parkland grows.

[@waynedewhurst3051]

Any attempts to restore nature must be applauded. I know that alot of work went into this and alot of native vegetation has been planted. Ecosystem restoration is the most important thing....maybe the only thing that will save our sorry arses.

[@BESTIAL-CRUCIFIER]

Great series. I just moved away from Glenorchy after living there for the last eight years - crazy to see how that place has (d)evolved(?) and changed over the years, and I must thank you for your works unveiling history unknown to me. For example, I used to work as a contractor in McKays Timber. I didn't know what the ruins in the yard were for years until I saw this video explaining that it used to be a manor. I would love to see a similar series about the history of New Norfolk if you ever find the time and inclination. Cheers Angus!

[@rolfhendersven6282]

@@BESTIAL-CRUCIFIER I would love to see more about New Norfolk also.

As a long time Glenorchy resident this has been an amazing series and unpacked a lot of details I never knew the background of.... Incredibly well researched and delivered well. Thanks for putting in the effort with this... Seriously enlightening for me. Keep at it!

[@angusthornett]

Thanks, mate. We'll see what 2025 brings

[@philrosebery]

Great series Angus. Comprehensive and insightful. Interesting to see the development over time you showed contrasted with the human habitation for over 35000 years!

[@ekkerslovarkia2726]

Nice one Angus 👍 Sure some of Glenorchy is like looking at the Elephant man but it's like and old worn out pair of New Balance runners. Even though there is no tread left when you wash em in a bucket of washing detergent the rinse under the tap and let them dry in the sun the leather uppers are still like freakin new!! Still good for round the house! Glenorchy,the old dog's breakfast is home and it's comfortable like an old pair of runners.

[@jeromeshaw2248]

Great series and nice work, Angus. Thanks and Merry Christmas 🎉

[@leandabee]

I reckon the story of Glenorchy could go on for quite sometime. It shows how time flys soooo quick when one remembers the Bowen Bridge opened in 1984 😲. Love when you have flowers in your hand, gazanias last video, yellow weeds this time 😄. Well done on this series, it's been fascinating, I can't even imagine the work involved, and your ghostly walk off like history disappearing into the ether👌👏👏👏👏

Love all your videos Angus, keep them coming. Have you ever thought of putting a video together of a top 10 places to visit for those of us outside of Tassie? We'd love to get down there but don't want to see the normal tourist places and a guide by you would be amazing. Merry Xmas!

[@angusthornett]

Not a bad idea.

[@mcrazza]

Thank you for putting together a great series on Glenorchy. There is much of my home town's early history I didn't know. What you have proven once again is that when one scratches the surface there's an interesting story waiting to be told. And I can't believe you were a stone's throw away from where I live in one of the videos! Woulda shouted you and the dog a drink.

[@angusthornett]

Cheers, mate. There's always more to find out.

[@dannynolan8863]

It must wonderful to live in a city that still has traces of its past in abundance , and that interested parties can find and explore that history and then share it. I would think that you, Angus , would be on the Tassie Tourist Board’s most desirable persons list. Keep the videos coming and have a wonderful Christmas.

[@bigears4014]

The reason glenorchy hasn't got much old world charm left , because the estates were quite large , so it was easy to turn it into modern housing estates leaving just a few premier properties surviving today , and sitting on very small lots

[@JimmyCall]

Some of the design of Hobart was in preparation for someday getting the Commonwealth Games. That is now dashed.

[@angusthornett]

Commonwealth Games should probably belong to history now.

[@johnsullivan7633]

Oak hill off Mary’s Hope road was featured on your video. Of interest, I understand the fence lines you referred to are on the origin land title boundaries. Also I believe the pipeline is the lake Fenton line. It burst in the ‘60’s and flowed down the hill into Islet creek. The old homestead belong to the Jacques family, a well respected family in Glenorchy’s history. They had a dairy in the ‘60’s and sold milk locally.

[@angusthornett]

Interesting.

Hi Angus, I recently stumbled across your channel. Loving it. Have you heard of Hobart’s lost cricket pitches? I learnt about them about 10 years ago when I was learning how to mountain bike. I can only remember where two are! I is on the domain, opposite the aquatic centre. It is mostly overgrown. The other is underneath the walkway/ramp to the centotaph. They are concrete cricket pitches. Just an idea, which I think is interesting forgotten history where people would have gathered once. Have a good Christmas! Cheers

[@angusthornett]

The lost cricket pitches are cool. The one up on the domain is maybe the best.

[@rodneyobrien1262]

Well documented series. Claremont House, being Lady Clark rehabilitation Hospital in the 1960's. Fond memories of raiding abandoned Apricot and Almond orchards together with Blackberries in rivulet reaches. Resided in Casuarina Crescent across from you approach to the shoreline. Cheers. Always pay to go beyond normal house foundations when building.

[@angusthornett]

There is much more to Glenorchy than what I covered.

[@imagingcommunicationscente4543]

Great series, loved it. would love to see you do Kingborough history. I was born in Woodbridge, parents moved us to Blackmans Bay in 1970, then to Sandfly in 1984, I then had my own house built in 1988/89 at a place called Huntingfield, I was the first resident. Your work is excellent, like I say - if you ever do Kingborough, would love to see it.

[@angusthornett]

Perhaps in 2025.
