Lovely place Hobart!! Have been there many times. Tasmania is so unique unlike the rest of mainland Australia - spectacular natural beauty, lovely beaches and their seafood and wine is to die for. A little island paradise. What a great walk, bought back a lot of very happy memories.
Sadly it's about the only way we get to hear about Hobart, there are people trying but no one knows they there, I grew up here aswell, 53 now but, as I'm watching this in 2024 not much has changed much. The only thing we need is something for are young people 🙂✌️💞.
This is the best RUclips recommendation in the history of all RUclips recommendations. I had no idea about this show. Time to watch all the others! Great to have you here Tony.
Greetings from Denmark 😄 thanks for all the great shows and documentaries you create, for us to enjoy😊 its always a great enjoyment, when I discover a new series or program from you.
Tony, Thank you ever so much. I've been following your adventures since the Black Adder days and am about 4 years older than you, but like you I am still active and young at heart I loved your Time Team series and only today, saw a couple of shows with MIck Aston, a sad loss. I truly enjoy your presentations throughout the British Isles and the continent and NOW, the lands Down Under. In my U.S. travels years ago, it was always the lesser known places, people and things that I found fascinating, so bravos to you and many further adventures once this current insanity ends. Cheers, Frederick"Rik" Spector Ferndale,WA, U.S.A.
I love Tasmania andI lived in Hobart for 25 years I'm in Sydney now and I just miss it so much and it's become so much more beautiful just finished watching this 🐒🐙🐛💙🐜🐞🐈
Great stuff Tony! Hope to see another show about Hobart sometime soon. Think you could do a whole episode out at Port Arthur & Richmond too. That trail is quite amazing historically.
Thanks Tony. I visited Hobart just before the whole COVID-19 stuff put a stop to travel, and it was great. Though I wish I'd watched this before going. I did lots of walking and discovering, but I could have seen so much more that's of historical interest if I'd known.
When Tony was in Hobart, I went to the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), which is a short drive from my home. At MONA there’s a room made up of one wall of TV screens, with video of a different Madonna fan on each screen, a capella singing Madonna’s greatest hits. I’m not a huge Madonna fan but it’s still cool. Anyhoo, I’m sitting on the floor near the door (there’s no seats) when the door opens and I think, “oh gosh, I’m in the way, I better move over a bit”. I look up at the person entering the room with what I hope is a friendly smile that says “whoopsie, moving over”. I got a friendly smile back from Tony Robinson.
Haha…. I know a couple of them. Much more chill here than on the mainland. I was parked in a loading zone, while having a beer at Knoppies (unsure it’s new name). My mate the parking dude rocks up. “Robbo… your truck is still in the loading zone…. And you’re on the pints?”. I picked up my pint and said to him, “What do you think this is? I’m Carb loading…”… He chuckled and said, fair call, and wandered off. 😂
Mike the journalist is such a great guy. I’ve had a few chats over the years with him whilst on the pints. He’s a veritable human google on Hobart. Loved listening to him. Haven’t seen him in a couple of years, hope he’s doing great!
23:23 Wow i used take off from my nans house next to bayhire in Sandy bay and walk around on my own everywhere, i wish I'd known that was there, if it was in 1979 ❤.
9:23 - The Theatre Royal has a ghost, 'Fred'. Oscar-nominated actress Jacki Weaver thought she saw him in the dress circle when it was supposed to be locked up.
Too bad no one told Tony that Ikey Solomon built a stately mansion right next door to what is now the Hobart central police station on Liverpool st. and, just around the corner from it, is Hobart's first synagogue, also built around the same time as his mansion and, no doubt, something he had a hand in seeing placed there.
Wonder if Tony would be surprised at just how many tunnels there really are under Melbourne, Hobart - and all of Australia, really. And what they are/were used for.....
Frequently once old buildings have finished their initial purpose (e.g when the Female Factory stopped being used as a facility for convict women), the buildings themselves are taken down and the stone re-used for other purposes.
Great shows!!! I think it would be a great show to have an American or other nationality go along with him on his walks. This would allow a different view on the subjects.
You did a great documentary of my City, you missed out on the State Cinema first female elected to federal parliament, Franklin protests and Governor Sorrel
I used to love Tony Robinson as a kid when he did 'Fat Tulips Garden' and such. In 'Time Team' he started to get a little snobbish,; since then he's just turned into an insufferable prat. He isn't genuinely interested in Hobart at all.
A not so fun and not well known fact about Tasmania is that the native aboriginals of the island as well their culture, heritage and languages have been completely wiped out and almost entirely erased from history. By the time policies and attitudes changed it was too late.

One of the nicest small cities in the world. Totally underrated.
Greetings from Hobart. Lived here my whole life. Always really refreshing to hear an outsider perspective of my home town :)
One of only a few places in Australia I would move to from Qld.

I can't believe Tony was here, my mum loves him, i love him, who doesn't, he's amazing ❤❤❤.
Thank you Tony I miss Tassie so much I lived in Hobart for 25 years never missed a Saturday at the Salamanca market very beautiful place 🌟🐈🐀🐞💙

Have been trying to find this episode for some time. Fellow hobartian here.
I totally agree….Hobart is just lovely. I’m from Melbourne and so I really mean it😬. Love your channel…more please😻
My great grandparents came from fife in scotland.and my grandfather was born in Tasmania.❤
My wonderful home town
I loved Hobart.
So glad that recording exists.
We spent 39 happy years in Hobart.

Have a wonderful time in Summer with all the berries I hope that Salamanca market is open by then 🎃
Great stuff Tony! Hope to see another show about Hobart sometime soon. Think you could do a whole episode out at Port Arthur & Richmond too. That trail is quite amazing historically.
Tony uncle I didn’t been to Hobort I hope one day I can travel with my friends love watch you show
Thanks Tony I love Tasmania and I intend to go back as soon as I can and Salamanca Market is the best market in Australia bar none
i love all those episodes huge fan of you since season 1 of time team thank you for sharing
Well that was fun! Hobart reminds me a bit of Mendocino, California, although that town is completely locked in to a Victorian time warp.
Thanks for this. I'm currently stuck in quarantine in hobart, with a nice brick wall for a view. Nice to know what awaits my release from captivity :)
Same in Melbourne now. It's lovely to see Hobart pre Covid. We'll get there... Hopefully like NZ.
Hope you are out soon. Enjoy Hobart, best city in the world!
@@Van_Der_Lay_Industries 2 more days :/

6:30 - Wow, brings a whole new meaning to the song "The Bells Are Ringing for Me and My Girl"...
This is my home xx
Hobart really is the most beautiful city in Australia. Unfortunately family responsibilities keep me on the mainland.
at 4:27 that parking inspector was fake, if he was real, It would have been "meter expired by 30 seconds, here is a ticket".
Ikr. Hahaha literally got one on Liverpool st yesterday
30 seconds? Geez that's generous! Normally it's half a second
Haha…. I know a couple of them. Much more chill here than on the mainland. I was parked in a loading zone, while having a beer at Knoppies (unsure it’s new name).

Did I hear a "who killed Kenny" there from Tony? Wow, I never would have thought Tony would be familiar with Southpark.
Blackadder was a masterpiece in satire for its time. I wonder if SouthPark will be looked on as fondly in the future 😁
wow , people walking down the streets of Hobart, I didn't know that.
Love this show.
they sting you in Hobart for the parking meters - I was 6 mins over or something and got a fine. no leeway. great vid. lotsa laughs.
102! Wow! She looks amazing!!❤❤❤❤
That first pub is called Irish Murphys. Give credit as they allowed you to film there.
It is a lovely place.
23:23 Wow i used take off from my nans house next to bayhire in Sandy bay and walk around on my own everywhere, i wish I'd known that was there, if it was in 1979 ❤.
Hobart fish show very beautiful and I saw the crush ship here
Cool presentation.

Lived here 29 years, never knew about the secret tunnel.
Home!
hopefully he visits the Hobart real tennis club next time. Oldest real tennis (royal tennis) court in Australia and full of history.
Wonder if Tony would be surprised at just how many tunnels there really are under Melbourne, Hobart - and all of Australia, really. And what they are/were used for.....
I've sat in the royal box with my mum. Adam Hills organised it for me :D
Your not Paulee who use to do the Salamanca market with Kate Fletcher are you ? 🐀🌟🐈
@@pollybird7827 no sorry
@@sirepaulos ok thank you have a nice weekend 🐈🐀🌟💙

That lady is doing pretty dam well for 102, I wonder if she's still kicking.

Baldrick just walking around Tassie 😂
its great stuff
It's funny how the old abandoned buildings from the early 1800's - 1900's never managed to stand like most ancient buildings from 2000+ years ago.
That is because they have had numerous restorations done.
Frequently once old buildings have finished their initial purpose (e.g when the Female Factory stopped being used as a facility for convict women), the buildings themselves are taken down and the stone re-used for other purposes.
Most ancient buildings are no longer standing though. Only a very few still stand and they are in a ruinous state compared to 2000 years ago! 😄
Great shows!!! I think it would be a great show to have an American or other nationality go along with him on his walks. This would allow a different view on the subjects.
The average American wouldn't even be able to point out Australia on a map - let alone Tasmania.
Oh my with that coat the ppl looking hilarious
No more such parking meters anymore. It's all electronic everywhere now.
You did a great documentary of my City, you missed out on the State Cinema first female elected to federal parliament, Franklin protests and Governor Sorrel
How did Amundsen know when he had reached the South Pole?
Normal ameson first arrive in 18 century also been to South Pole with the rainjacket
🤣🤣🤣who killed Kenny?!
Normal first arrive in Hobart in 18 century
The metres don't look like that anymore they are more complicated
Tony why not around Australia by train
Tasmania is an island. Plus, it doesn't have any trains
1:59 Who killed kenny 🤣🤣🤣
😵 Yes! Have you seen the latest South Park? The Covid 19 episode... It's brilliant!
my cck
You can’t have an open alcohol on a public street. Why hasn’t anyone booked him yet. Btw I was born in Hobart but now I’m Launceston. Btw jk 😂

There are still Aboriginal people in Tasmania but they are white I have met a few indigenous people some I knew from Princess St school 🌟😊
Tasmanian Aboriginal descendant here, we do exist and bits of our culture do remain.
@@djatalysiannehamilton beautiful 🌟💙
@@djatalysiannehamilton I wished that I still lived in Hobart ,Tasmania is a very beautiful Island keep well and stay happy 💙🌟🍯🐈
Yes the Aboriginals were literally hunted.
I am upset about the Parking Meters , and Earth is Flat or you would be upside down :\ QC
Hahaha yeah hobartians marry their cousins not sisters
Tasmania is a beautiful place some really interesting people there 💙🐞🐀🐈🌟 have a nice weekend
@@pollybird7827 yeah...a great place to visit.... yet living here is a whole different story
