I feel so enlightened by your research as a whole, moreover, revaluations of convict history continue to confront in the brutality and inhuman acts that denoted transportation to Tasmania. Children being a tragic, maybe less discussed aspect of that dark history. As for your pup and his reaction to the bronze statues, what a special boy he is, so touching…thanks for another wonderful production Angus.
I am a runner, and in the time that I lived in Hobart I ran 5,500km. All the places that you show I have intimately connected with. I know the old bridge under Newtown Road because I have run up the rivulet and saw it from that angle. Someone dear to me was a child protection officer at St John's and I remember visiting her and feeling the dark energy of the place. Its amazing to see your aerial shots of the places in the landscape that I have moved across, and the history that I was not aware of. You are doing a great job.
You know how much I love my convict history and the vids I've put up...another thing that blows my mind Angus is the Campbell St primary school....I'ma share this one with ya cause I don't have the time ATM to make it...convicts were laid underneath the school concrete or kids...there's a headstone with the names etc I blew out when I found this info....just like that church and paddock etc...man all those years going to Newtown high sneaking over to Ogilvie to see some chicks etc damn that's dark history that not even my mumma n daddy knew...good job Angus 🍻🍻🍻🍺🍺🍺
Blows my mind about the English how they treated aboriginals and Irish and convicts and local bushrangers like shit...come down here throwing ya muscles around....what a time to live....omg bro Harry was so cute at those statues lol need him groomed hit me up my wife is the best dog groomer in Hobart region....as a local who went to Lenah valley primary wow what a story...wasn't a church was a place to keep the kids locked up mad history mate fkn love your videos and your research and commitment to these videos Fkn good onya mate you deserve a beer 🍻 love it keep it up and don't fkn stop....👍🤣🍺🍻😎
I was at work when you filmed this as I can see my car. Some clients noticed your drone fly over and were talking about it. Now I know why. If I remember, I'll show them this video tomorrow!
@@angusthornett Just a token of my appreciation, last night we were discussing your videos at the dinner table. I wish you many rewards for your hard work.
Another great video Angus. Can I point out a mistake though, and one that is made by many Tasmanians - fagus is not the only deciduous tree in Australia. Along the east coast of the mainland there are two tree species that are also deciduous - red and white cedars. These were very heavily cut as they are fabulous furniture timbers, and many houses of the 19th century have cedar doors and architraves. Once again thanks for these wonderful videos
That image of the statue of the children at St Johns Park.......You can almost hear the kids playing on the grass.......If only they were allowed to... I have been to St Johns Park many times and now know why it always feels sad. What a history. Awesome work as always mate.
Wow, I’ve lived in Hobart for 20 years and I never knew this. It seems to me to be very disrespectful to clear those poor childrens graves. Thanks for sharing. Oh and your little dog is beautiful.
Wow, so moving. The temporary nature of permanence. All things built to last, never do. What a blessing to see them and hear their stories.. Thanks Angus.
Thanks for the history lesson. There are several great sandstone bridges in Tasmania. One at Richmond and one at Campbell Town both have a lot of traffic over them every day.
The flannelette curtain has plenty of traction still. I’ve heard at least two Real Estate agents say “never north of Creek Road” when giving general purchasing advice about greater Hobart. Silly really. If you do a video of Tasmania’s wealthiest suburb, you could remind us of how people there say (and it’s cute); “Unless you live in Battery Point, your only camping”.
The light, clouds and general environment is so similar to New Zealand where I live its not even funny. Same latitude and island-ness, I even wear the same outfit as Angus.
Great vid as always Angus. I normally watch your videos along side a google earth browser so I can do my own little virtual tour as you talk. FYI 'Scabby Moon Man" can still be found on GE. I found it before you had got to that bit and thought it had to have been Tom.
I'd love to know if you have any info about the old house at the top of the hill next to the water tank "Colebrook House", supposedly designed to resemble the inside of a ship, erected by a seafarer.
I had no idea about the orphanage or the bridge - I drive over it nearly daily! I think I’m going to go visit the monument. Looking forward to part 3 😊
My auntie lived in New Town and I remember staying with her when I was a teenager. I had no idea these places were there (with the exception of the orphan school). Can’t wait to see part 3. Love your work 😊
@@angusthornett I knew a dog named Harry who was the same breed (he died recently). Maybe Harry is just a suitable name? Every anonymous person to insult is also 'Harry' like 'watch it there 'arry', so it can be filler But when attached to a dog, endearment, and it becomes special because of that dog
Just amazing work 👌. So funny but sad too, when Harry trying to get the attention of the statue kiddies🤗. I didn't know that place was built to house children, absolutely shocking😢. Your drone work on great. Do you do all the filming on your own or do you have someone helping?
Be good for all the industrial power lines to be submerged allowing for housing developments that could reduce the pressure on housing for low income people.
It's not lack of land that stops housing development. Agree though, it would be nice if those lines were underground. Unlikely to ever happen. At least not until after the existing lines reach the end of their life span.
@@angusthornett Yeah, you’d need some political will to do it. And when you think about the big power lines in Toorak it seems unlikely it could happen in Tasmania in the northern suburbs. It is bullshit though. Look at Basslink? You only need to put that underground.
I've just gotta say, why do we continue with the "planted deciduous trees to feel more at home"? Are there records stating that? It was just the style of the time, I don't think a conscious longing for home is the reason.
Man, in context, the section where Harry is trying to get the attention of the children’s statues is heartbreaking.
The dog kept going back to them.
So true!
My misso who's a dog groomer wheeped and almost cried when I showed her that part lol

The spirits of Tasmania Thank you.
You've do it again, shown hidden mysteries right before our eyes. Thank you Angus.
Thanks, mate.
Angus the word smith - brilliant - tnx for making these
I thought that the "FLANNELETTE" curtain is the boundary between the Municipalities of Hobart and Glenorchy councils..
Creek Rd
Puppy's reaction to the statues broke my heart!
Looking forward to part 3, it’s been a great series.
Thanks, Peter.
This just randomly popped up but was engrossed by what you had to say.
I'll be back 👍
Thanks

Thank you, Rod. Glad you're watching.

I am enjoying your vlogs and learning so much - thank you!
Very good, thank you.
‘Monster coming over the hill’. Must be Glenorchy 🤣
Nah, Moonah in a suit... :)
Great episode and abundance of history. Well done Angus👍🏽 Enjoyed this episode and coming along with you.
Thanks, mate.
@@angusthornett You're very welcome Angus. Have a great weekend.
Loved the way Little Harry reacted to the children statue's
More dog antics, please! It was such a charming interlude!
I had heard of the children's prison and the hidden graves.... it is so devastating
Brilliant Angus. Well done.
Quite a sobering story .
Blows my mind about the English how they treated aboriginals and Irish and convicts and local bushrangers like shit...come down here throwing ya muscles around....what a time to live....omg bro Harry was so cute at those statues lol need him groomed hit me up my wife is the best dog groomer in Hobart region....as a local who went to Lenah valley primary wow what a story...wasn't a church was a place to keep the kids locked up mad history mate fkn love your videos and your research and commitment to these videos
Fkn good onya mate you deserve a beer 🍻 love it keep it up and don't fkn stop....👍🤣🍺🍻😎
So sweet your dog thinking the statues were real alive children .
I was at work when you filmed this as I can see my car. Some clients noticed your drone fly over and were talking about it. Now I know why. If I remember, I'll show them this video tomorrow!
Always knew "the border" as NCR - North of Creek Road. Powerlines are a more impactful curtain though!
Thanks!

Cheers, Chris. Agree, the whole are has an uneasiness to it.
History was/is never fair.
Harry's reaction to the child sculptures sure is sweet.
He's a nice dog
Pat me pat me , my granddaughter would
Great videos; cheers Angus. The way you unfolded the children's home story and the statues was a work of art.
Thank you very much. Brett, these donations really do support the channel, especially as it's in infancy.
I am really enjoying your insights into Tasmania’s turbulent history. I hope you continue!
Wow, always learn something new when Angus shares his awseome gift here on yt.
Hanging out for part 3.
Cheers, William. Stay tuned.
Thanks, for part 3 👍🏼
Thank you kindly, Peter. Stay tuned.
@@angusthornett wish I could give more mate 👍🏼

A thoughtful insight into a little, tragic piece of Hobart history. Well done.
We love your videos. Your use of silence is artful and appreciated in our overly busy world.

Amazing work and use of scenic shots alongside storytelling 👍
Thanks, mate.
Really appreciate watching these and all the information he’s been able to research and talk about with stillness and clarity. Bravo Angus!!
Thank you for the great content Angus. If I were a school teacher, I'd be showing these videos to my students.
Cheers, Dave.
These two videos are just brilliant, just excellent videography and story telling, and poignant.
Another cracking video cobba
get off the crack jack
Marvellous story telling.
Great work Angus, and of course Harry. 👏
Bring on Part 3!!!
Stay tuned.
Another fabulous and thought provoking video, well done and love the pup.
Thank you, Catriona.
damn, I love your vids!
Thanks for watching
Another great film. Looking forward to to the next.
Hello everyone
Great vid as always Angus. I normally watch your videos along side a google earth browser so I can do my own little virtual tour as you talk. FYI 'Scabby Moon Man" can still be found on GE. I found it before you had got to that bit and thought it had to have been Tom.
You got it.
Excellent. Thank you so much for your work
Thanks Angus, so much history
Another great video. Looking forward to the next installment.
Fine work Angus. I learn so much from your video. I love Hobart's history and you document it so well. Cheers mate
Thank, mate.
Touching Angus. Many thanks.
Another informative video Angus thank you 👍😀
I'd love to know if you have any info about the old house at the top of the hill next to the water tank "Colebrook House", supposedly designed to resemble the inside of a ship, erected by a seafarer.
Thank u Angus. Every new vdo is a nostalgiac journey for me. You are brilliant.
Thanks, Andrew. Glad you enjoyed.
Lol the dog looked confused 😕
I had no idea about the orphanage or the bridge - I drive over it nearly daily! I think I’m going to go visit the monument. Looking forward to part 3 😊
Stay tuned
Awesome job!
Thanks, Sarah.
I've done some research on Selfs Point if you're interested in it 🙂
Great video!
Another excellent video. Great idea to concentrate on one suburb for a few episodes.
You’ve got me looking at Google maps….again.
Great video once again mate. The real star of these videos is of course harry. Lol
Cheers, mate. Z in the house.
My auntie lived in New Town and I remember staying with her when I was a teenager. I had no idea these places were there (with the exception of the orphan school). Can’t wait to see part 3. Love your work 😊
Thank you, Gail. Stay tuned.
Wait, his name is Harry?
The child thing reminds me of the Nightingale (the one they needed psychologists on set?). Also, Mathinna

Stay tuned
Angus, are those 12 little home still there?
Nope

@@bikebasket9594 there's been little infrastructure investment in greater Hobart in the last 50 years. Yeah, it's old tech.
@@angusthornett need trams subways and tunnels ASAP.

It was just the style of the time, I don't think a conscious longing for home is the reason.
It mentioned repeatedly in historical accounts from the time. The wanted to make Tasmania appear like England.
It is the truth. There were acclimatisation societies which were focused on transforming Australian flora and fauna.
Thanks
Cheers
@@angusthornett no, thank you!
Thanks!
