The bloke that originally built a house and sheds on the land around me lost everything in 1828. He sensibly then almost overreacted and moved way up the hill and built my current house. Thankful to him for it. Cheers for the vid Angus.
I’ve been down there at the Evac centre that past 2 nights. We’ve been so lucky this year that no one has required too much medical assistance at the centres, and really not many have had to use the centres due to having their own contingency plans.
@@angusthornett I’m finished down there now. At the moment it’s looking like we have 1 more night before they’ll close them. I have to get myself back into a work sleep pattern so I can get back to ED. But it’s been amazing to see and experience
Good job, north esk river was absolutely pumping the other day when I was coming back from Ben Lomond like I mean pumping even the farm lands where flooded
Id rather watch this fella than any Network News; especially State Owned Media. Informative, no agendas, just facts. Production here actually put the "professionals " to shame. The Prestitutes would have been hand-wringing and tugging at our heart strings, no mention of the 'wisdom' of living right next to a river. The story here was about flooding, not about how sensitive and virtuous the Reporter and their employer is. Proper Journalism.
this is david and janette in tasmania great show shame about flouding but alot of councils proberly dont have fundings for levies but if they made repulse dam biger or medowbank dam weight for norfolk river to go down a bite then release water slowely that might fix problom as you might know but commen folk some times arnt aloud to think ha ha very good vidio love to you and the dog and well done thank you for teaching people about our history😃❤💯👍👍
So many great Hobart history lessons on this channel. How are you with the rest of Tassie's history? (Launnie, the coasts, etc). Any chance on any vids on them or do you know of anyone who does a similar channel about them?
thank you for sharing, im further up river and the news does not really show much these days unfortunately so I appreciate the view i cant get out here. o7
Great job Angus. Apologies if you have covered it already but would love to see one of your historical epics devoted to New Norfolk - Ike Solomon etc .....once its dried out
Thanks again Angus not the nicest sight to come home too after your break brother. Ps do you think the owners of the little Blue boat will fix her? Love and Light to all of you 💙
The whole of August has been just constant rain I'm getting "cabin fever" we had such a lovely long warm Autumn/winter And the farmers were fearing a drought but know it floods, onto spring with the typical wind and then a dry dusty summer.
Growing up in Bellerive & Howrah, the Derwent only ever showed its ‘ocean’, or ‘sea’ side to us. Immediate, adjacent to our neighbourhoods, & providing lengthy beaches those in ‘town’ had / have no real familiarity with. Family / relatives ‘across the bridge’ always struck us as having an intriguing distance, even alienation from the salt, the surf, the sand, which always rendered them very Melbournian. The folk upriver ? It was always stunning to see ‘their River Derwent ‘ akin to the relationship of Richmond villagers to their Coal River. Apparently placid, wholly fresh, & easily familiar to the outstretched hand.
good stuff. easily solved by not building in the floodplain. at 0:55 you can see the houses built on the crest are safe, the infrastructure on the flats below is gone. should be no construction within the entire riparian area, climate change is going to see more and more of these floods and its too expensive to keep rebuilding.
The closer I get to paying off my mortgage the more I pay for insurance on my home. Build in the valley, build in the hills, either way I feel like the cost of insurance will replace my mortgage in the end. It feels unfair.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but... People shouldn't be building towns and cities on the edges of rivers. Especially in flat, low lying areas. These catastrophic events are only catastrophic because people live too close. You can't control water, no matter how hard you try, but you can control where you're going to build. When a river exceeds capacity, it's going to overflow into every available inch possible, and if someone has smacked a house right in the middle of a flood plain, then that is their fault when things like this happen. So far, it seems there's been no loss of life this time around with the floods, that's amazing. I know of two fatalities in Victoria from this terrible weather. Glad it seems to be over (for now at least).
@@ChrisHUTTON-zc4br I am aware. Been there a handful of times. Not enough to remember the topography of the place around the river though, so I was going by videos/photos I've seen.

You do a better job than the ABC.
As do all independent journalists , not sure if Angus is one, but his amazing ability to tell stories is A grade 👌

Thanks, Ross. It must have been very difficult in the early period for people establishing safe homes.
Ah finally some footage and photos that help us really see what it's like there. Thanks Angus for that. Definitely appreciated.
Thanks, mate.
👍, the drone work and your respectful demeanour 👌🤗
Thanks again.
Thanks Angus, an informative video, well done.
Thanks, Nigel

@formulafish1536 good stuff
We were wondering, thanks for updating us.
Hopefully the caravan park can negotiate with a farmer to exchange for higher ground.
Good job, north esk river was absolutely pumping the other day when I was coming back from Ben Lomond like I mean pumping even the farm lands where flooded
So much water.
Wise words and great footage 😊
found you a few weeks ago. love your films, brother. thank you for them. hugs from Electrona.
Great drone shots!
The only way to properly see what happened.
Great work Angus...again!⚓👍
Thank you Angus, it has been a scary few days for those in the area. I wonder if Glen Derwent suffered any damage and if their insurers will pay up!

Thanks, mate. I thought it was worth sharing with an audience.
Glad you're ok. Glad the response was well handled. Discussions about moving people out of flood prone areas needs to begin.
It's an ongoing discussion.

Wow Angus thankyou for showing us that I had no idea it was so bad. You are amazing. Love wat hing your clips.
Thank you

There’s plenty of room for Tasmanian RUclips content. Anyone can do it.

Thank you for this!
Just like the Huon, building at sea level isn't clever
Wow, thanks for going out of your way to get the footage. There was a picture of water over the bridge on the ABC website. Hope you are okay.
Thanks, mate. All safe and sound here.

Shiezer , never seen the Derwent that full , cheers for the update
Top work again Angus and dog. Thanks mate
Thank you, Jade.

Tough for so many, glad no one has lost their life this time- so far.
Oh that's so sad about the residents homes at the caravan park. I hope they can recover.
Hope you enjoyed your holiday. Great to see you and the dog back on the job. The dog deserves a bonus 😮😂
The dog gets bonus every day.

That bus has a great waterfront view now! Stay strong ❤
Peace.

nice work Gus , beat the news service .

Get this man a sponsorship from the state government.
Excellent work 👍
Thank you.
Hi, Did Hall Green flood?
Been a rough week 😢 but it happens when profit is put before maintenance . Hats off to the Transend cres tho 🍻
Very difficult for many people.
Cheers as always mate
Cheers again, mate.
I'll be heading through there in about 7 days.

Good no nonsense informative video

The railways :(
The closer I get to paying off my mortgage the more I pay for insurance on my home. Build in the valley, build in the hills, either way I feel like the cost of insurance will replace my mortgage in the end. It feels unfair.
Ironically, it looks like the New Norfolk swimming pool is unscathed... :)
Yep, looked untouched.

Most of the town, its CBD, are well above the river flood plain.

That "dogs must be on leads" sign does not cite where to find the law. Because there isn't such a law in Tasmania.
We all let the dogs out
