Unspoken Mysteries of the Risdon Zinc Works in Hobart, Tasmania
Dude I drove round the aquatic centre roundabout (more up near the cricket oval / athletics track) on Monday Ian’s I saw you with the dog! Haha I waved excitedly but then I realized you’ve never met me and that would have seemed weird if you saw some random being all fanatical on the road hahaha. Anyways keep up the good work, love your vids mate!
I’m using deep in TikTok
I always thought that director Tim Burton ought long ago to have been introduced to St. John’s cemetery,..as well as the Isle of the Dead,..the half-opened crypts, headstones leaning at mad angles, all implanted atop a hill sliding out from beneath feet & structures…
Great work.again. I really hope you can contact and negotiate to do a documentary at the Cornwell Coal mine Fingal. Document to underground mine operation. There is over 150 years of undocumented history having been a supplier to industry and transportation in the State. They are pretty cagey about publicly but you should be able to crack the nut.
Hey mate, just want to tell you how much we enjoy your videos. As recent transplants to Hobart, it's great to learn about this historic town from someone who knows all about it from a pro.
You’re welcome, mate. Glad you’re getting something out of the channel. Working on a series about Glenorchy atm.
Awwww ❤
Wth? When did the glenorchy pool close. 😂😂
Very interesting. Thank you.
Thanks, mate. I'm working on a new series atm on Glenorchy.
Great video. Thank you for mentioning the Tasmanian Aboriginals. If you haven't already, I highly recommend you read The Black War by Tassie's own Nicolas Clements. It should be compulsory reading for all Tasmanians. Brilliant insight from both sides of the conflicts.
Thanks, Jessica. His books have found a wider audience.
Terrific stories. And your best videography so far Angus with some great drone footage and beautiful low angle light.
Thanks, mate. You don't get good light all the time. I'm working on a new series atm about Glenorchy.
Watch out cobber!
Cute little bugger! Hopefully he/she has a happy life in the 'burbs
I love the way you talk about history.
Thanks, mate. It’s important to make subjective content. The videos are as much about me as they are the history that they discuss.
I find it fascinating how Richmond and Sorell began around the same time, but through circumstances outlined in this video, took two different paths. In Richmond, time stood still, which allowed many of the old buildings to remain. Whereas Sorell is a more modern, practical town, where there are fewer old buildings left, and is not anywhere near as pretty and charming as Richmond.
Yeah, a lot of thing have to happen for towns to turn out how they do.
Congrats Dog and Angus on one of the best yet. Good on Clarence CC and Arts Tas getting on board. This is the type of material that should be shown in schools. Always informative, always interesting. Well played lads!
Thank you, Rod. Any assistance, be it from you or offical bodies, helps the channel materially. There is still much more to cover.
excellent as always...
Thanks. I'm working on a new series atm about Glenorchy.
The Dog. Doing his best impersonation of a Tassie Devil.
Ha
They are very active last week or two. Love these little guys.
Usually big cities are on water access, be it fresh or sea. Coal river is simply too narrow/low flows to foster a city. The Tasmanian Tribal races were only around approx 3000, so unlikely they were doing burn offs all around Tasmania. Mainly around camp region/hunting grounds. Most likely where eucalyptus dominate. Not all races burnt. The more Papuan tribes, accepted forests, where others would see them as dangerous and of spirits, and therefore burn them and hunt fleeing animals.
The estimates are as high as 7K people. We don’t know. But that thousands of people across maybe 30k years. So it’s a huge amount of people on the longer timeline.
@@angusthornett I appreciate that you're open minded, even though I don't totally agree. Also consider the Kyr claims are based on circular self enabling arguments. Like soil strata dating given rise to mtDNA fork dating, to erroneous Ancient DNA claims using questionable PCR (same as CV19 PCR). Then overlaid by continental drift attributed dates (versus expanding planet theory which is a much condensed timeline), and migration beliefs. 30K maybe 1K
He’s trying to leave …..
Up near the Tip off Chapel street Angus ?
Yep
Well tasmania sure is unique at the moment.
Great work. The problem with Tasmania is they cannot see any of today's transportation and industrial heritage as important. For example their is no record or underground filming of the only underground coal mine in Tasmania. Cornwall black coal mine in the Fingal valley has workings underground for the last 150 years. A very important contributor to Tasmania's economic industrial heritage. Maybe someone could approach Cornwall mine to record the mine and folk who work underground today.
You contact the mine and tell them directly.
Cute 😍
Thanks for this terrific history. I've been to Richmond twice, both times on a motorbike (I rode from Canberra). The first time I only visited for an hour to see the bridge. I came back 2 years later (2 years ago) and stayed for a few days to explore the area. I stayed at Hatcher's Manor which was a bit weird in its decor, but quiet. I'd love you to do an episode on the church and stained glass at Buckland which I've tried to see twice, but it was locked both times.
Thanks, Pippa. I'm working on a new series atm about Glenorchy.
I did a painting of the Mill House Cottage last year on location. It's such a beautiful building.
It is
Great video keep up the great work 😊
Thanks, Kelli
@@angusthornett it was good meeting you in person 😄
Peter Seekings who built the original mazes was a lovely man.
They’re very good
Watching for the 3rd time to get my Hdog and relaxing Angus dulcet tones fix 😌👌
Ha. Back for more.
@@angusthornett always 😌
Angus there is something wrong with the bridge there's no graffiti on it,come to Melbourne and it's such an eye saw. 😮
Richmond Bridge is one of the few in Tasmania that doesn't have graffiti. It's kept clean because it's a tourist attraction.
Great attention to detail Angus love it and all the colourful Fauna Great work Brother 👌🏽
Thanks, David. Who doesn't like a nice shot of a bid?
Ulverstone still keeping the pub fighting tradition going
It'll never totally stop.
So interesting, thankyou!
Thanks, Brigida. I'm working on a new series atm about Glenorchy.
Thank you for visiting Richmond and making a video on it. Richmond is one of my favourite, if not my favourite, place to visit, and hopefully move to, when I come home to Tasmania. I miss my home state quite alot and your content helps fill a small void of longing for home. Keep up the great work, I appreciate your content. I hope one day you write a book on your trips and tribulations of Tasmanian culture and history.
People don’t read much anymore. My audience atm is on RUclips. Glad you enjoyed it, mate.
I visited Richmond last week after previously popping in at Ross. I was curious as to why the date on the Ross bridge was in Roman numerals. Now that you've explained that the Richmond Bridge date was added later it makes sense 😊
Yeah, you wonder to if the people building the bridge thought it might not last that long. It's pretty cobbled together. I'm working on a new series atm about Glenorchy.
Another great video Angus, even the ravens approve! Well done and thank you as always from Canada!
Thanks, dude. From Australia. Ha
Once again Angus thoroughly enjoyable I lived at Midway Point in the 80s so a trip to Richmond for a feed and a convivial happened quite often there were some paddocks with mushrooms growing certain times of the year
Thanks, Stephen. I'm working on a new series atm about Glenorchy.
Thanks Angus, my gg Grandfather arrived 1818 and his wife and kids followed 1824, they are both at St Johns.
Going right back then.
Some cracking drone footage in this one, Angus! Cheers.
Thanks, mate. It came out well.
The Dog is such an obedient student. I hope he gets a gold star at the end of term :)
Golden pats
Brilliant Angus. Your filming is at another level. Great shots on ground and from above. Cheers.
Cheer, John. You want to continually improve the production.
What a remarkable and fascintating story! I didn't know about this at all. Thank you. Also this story needs the movie treatment or as a high quality limited series. Get it to Screen Tasmania NOW!
Cheers, mate. It require a huge budget. I'm working on a new series atm about Glenorchy.
Hey Angus , bartholemew is my greatx3 grandfather,his wife was the daughter of Robert Nash who amongst other things built the flour mill in what now is linear park off mole st hobart on the Hobart rivulet, a interesting story in itself. There is a plaque there about it
My ancestor escaped from the Cascades Probation Station in 1849 and held up the Reardon family. I've made a video about it ruclips.net/video/vcOSXXrRAQ4/видео.html I reached out to the Reardon family hoping that I could get one of them to be in the video but had no luck.
@@steveharrison7923 hi Steve,my brother Phillip is a very keen family historian and if you like I can ask him to contact you regarding events from the past
