Hi TheHHS1964, thanks for the comment. The film was a gift to the state from the Postmaster-General’s department, and this information didn’t accompany the film. Other details about the film are included in an article in the Mercury, 1953, which announced the premiere screening. A link to the article has been added to the description of the film above.

This is art and a historic treasure, be respectful! That Tasmania is now one of the most extraordinary and enviable places on earth, is incredible! So grateful to these very tough pioneers, survivors and dreamers! 👍🫂👏

"Here a primitive race of men lived and died without disturbing it's peace for thousands of years." Neglected to leave a bit of information out on that subject didn't ya buddy.

odd how they are introducing the start of Hobart, Launceston etc but showing dead trees from obvious dammed areas that killed the trees as if it is a natural pretty lake.

Back in the days when real progress was a thing. It sure beats any alternative option available at the time in terms of sustainability that's beyond question.

"Here a primitive race of men lived and died without disturbing it's peace for thousands of years." Interest slice of historical thought there.

The 19th century has a lot to recommend it when compared with the disastrous 20th and 21st centuries.

It appears to have been written by a woman. One can hardly blame the narrator.

They massacred those black tasmanians tell the truth

media never changes. ..always choosing what people see and hear about. The world has so much junk as "credible stories". I'm not for that and would prefer the truth be told rather than convenient rubbish that harms before healing.

The black war is an interesting book by clive turnbull about the massacre of the palawa people. I grew up in tassie, they taught us nothing, just the standard line of robinson saving a dying breed, and trugginini being the last tassie full blood. My first job out of school was on a dairy farm at Montague. Only several miles away was a place called cape grim, where reprisal massacres were comitted by the van diemans land company employees. Coincidently montague is where the alledged last living tassie tiger was shot. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/p332783/pdf/review03.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjCsciP1bCIAxVUslYBHWlyOqEQFnoECCIQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0Uk8YjysvaCwoiK9L13-vr
