@@cptlooney it’s pointless destruction, it’s so vulnerable to vandalism because of the location. It could have been put to another use, but now it needs a lot of money to rescue it.

@@Tassiephotographer Imagine if some one purchased it and made it a Overnight stay. All the resources are there.

@@cptlooney it would be a magic spot for an overnight stay for tourists etc, it could have a cafe or restaurant.

@@benhaslam8854 would have been spooky camping there of a night 👻 it’s an interesting area.

@@stuartgilbert3969 certainly does, I think it’s all too hard for the government pen pushers to deal with, so they have just let it sit there.

Interesting read, and I believe your views are correct and I totally agree. One of my earlier videos is a drone flight around Tamar island focusing on the old scuttled barges that lay in the river, there is a large number of them, I think this may actually have been one of many attempts to stop the silting of the river perhaps? I’ve seen many old pictures of the river from years gone by, it was quite beautiful 50 plus years ago. Sadly I’m only 53 and don’t remember it being any different to what it was now. I remember as a sea scout we used to row and sail boats around the seaport area back in the 80’s, and it wasn’t much better then.

Hi , It may not have been connected to clearing the river.. More filling part of it in? The way I see it, is that they were trying to reclaim the waterway on the West side of Tamar Island, by sinking what ever was available and filling it (that part of the river)with earth? Obviously, it either did not work, or ran out of momentum.. This would have been viewed as progress back then, (although probably not nowadays)? The barge hulks that you mentioned are probably those that once hauled the mud downstream? Passenger ships used to come right up the river, to the wharf in the 30's & 40's.. Where travelers would transfer directly to trains awaiting them at the wharf.. The "Boat Train" went through to Hobart or the Coast? Your drone should still be able to pick out old railway tracks in the pavement east of the wharf buildings, ( and also some crossing Gleadow Street a short way East of the wharf still imbedded in the surface)? The railway came down Lindsay Street from the yards to the wheat silos, along the wharf and then up Gleadow Street to the Vacuum Oil company {Mobilgas} Pulled out in early 60's.. It once serviced a great number of locations in that area back then... The wharf, wheat silos, cool stores, Shell, Golden Fleece, Cement silos, Timber mills, B.P., Ampol and finally Mobilgas At Dilston, you could hear the throb of the ships motors as the came up and down the river, in time to reach the foreshore on foot, and watch them go by? I could go on, but life (and the river) was very different in those 1950's years?

@@chrisbinckes2732 thank you, I think the government is trying to keep it all quiet, but they need to be made accountable for the waste of money.

@@Tassiephotographer it WILL happen...! the truth always rises

Amazing what you see getting up there with chains fitted 😂

👍👍

@@jasoncook8788 absolute waste of tax payers money letting it go like this, if hate to see it now.

@@chaosstate4491 sadly it’s probably been demolished by now, there’s a new Cole’s supermarket destined to be built in the location.

@@ronanrogers4127 she’s a beast.

One of my many hobbies 😀

@@Tassiephotographer good to see you have a decent car to play around with

@@racingescort1970 it’s a very capable model, front and rear lockers, high and low range etc, it’s very realistic.

@@user-yz8vb7hb2o it’s sad to see and such a waste.

Well worth a visit if you’re into old mining history and ghost towns.

Yes true, I guess it’s who you know helps get away with things most of us can’t.

@@michaelgrinstead8452 the camera is deceiving, I’m well away from people. none of the drone videos are in National Parks. Any that may be if any, were shot before they bought national park rule in.

@@michaelgrinstead8452 thank you 😀 Keep it smooth, slow down all your movements, don’t be jerky on the controls. Watch plenty of RUclips tutorials on your model drone for best settings and moves etc. I’ve been flying for years and still watch RUclips videos to learn more.

Hi, thank you, I live in Tasmania, this video was taken last weekend in the highlands area, we’ve had a run of sub zero temps here, it’s been down to as low as -13 degrees Celsius so far, the highlands are frozen.

Senseless vandalism, an absolute waste, it’s probably worse now.

Thank you, is lovely area. She’s sitting there a few years, makes for some great photography, I love old abandoned machinery. It’d would be perfect for night photography with the milky way behind it.

It would be perfect, and it’s easy to get to of a night, and well away from city lights.

It’s a beautiful area,I’m lucky enough to have a house not far away on the coast.

Thank you for subscribing, it’s one part of our beautiful coastline 😊

Out near Gladstone in northeast Tasmania. It can’t be accessed at the moment because the gates at he start are locked after the track was damaged from rain.

Thanks!, great content BTW!!

@@Bushkid11 thank you 😊

It’s sad seeing them like that. I’m not sure of the names of them. The council has pressure on them to get the river cleared up, so these may not be around many more years.

Hi, I’m unsure of thier names but I can find out.

@@Tassiephotographer that would be good!!

Hopefully they repair it, it’s bit of an icon of the area.

@@Tassiephotographer that won’t happen mate I’ll be surprised if it does 👍

@@atvcampingadventures1728 sadly not, it’s probably already demolished knowing our government’s.

Very welcome, there’s not much in there now, most of the power station has been taken away for storage, but the buildings are still in there, it’s an intersection part of our history.

Very welcome, glad you enjoyed, I am a lego nerd 🤓

Thanks 😊 this was the second attempt, the first day was totally dry, but overnight rain had it pumping.

Hi, yes certainly 👍 it was Wellington Street in Launceston Tasmania.

It’s been pretty good, nothing major has gone wrong with it yet, had it 10 years, just little electronic gremlins like an ABS wheel speed sensor, broken air bag clock spring and general wear and tear, it’s a 2007 model so getting old. Ocean beach is probably the beast beach run in Tassie, well worth the drive over there to do it at least once.

Yeah I haven't had any of those dramas. I've had to replace clutch in short period of time. Clutch damper i think... wasn't working and the clutch was cooking itself slowly to death. So new clutch then powersteering pump, and figured I may as well get the rocker cover fixed started weeping. And then went to leave Alice Springs, they had to undo fuel lines to get to their rocker cover and they've never been removed and the seals were harden and wouldn't seal up again am leaking fuel everywhere lol but were all good now. I can just hear the clutch under my feet engaging when I change gears. After bypass to master to slave cylinder. Fun times lol

@@matttasmania9506 I think all brands have their niggly little problems, none of them are perfect, mine is 80% used for towing a caravan and 20% used off road, other than that I hardly drive it, it gets flogged pretty hard towing the van, it’s auto so no clutch issues to worry about. It’s actually very capable off road, the auto makes it great for crawling up rutty hill climbs.

Yeah my poor girl has been used offroad a fair bit when I got it. Shes done it all and keep ticking along fine. I'll be going back to an auto they are good for sure. I do love the 1st gear low range downhill its very slow an controlled an great torque on tap. But nowdays im just touring and the kids are becoming involved an want to come along. So one day when ever ill switch. It only has 200ks on the odo. Just starting out lol

@@matttasmania9506 she’s still new mate, just run in, mine has 190k on it at the moment, if I’m lucky it might tick over 200k this year if I drive it, only plan on using it June long weekend then a week in October I always take off work and had to the coast.
