You're a great story teller Angus, I admire the research and the use of historical materials. You have a way of bringing the past to the present, while commenting on the future.
They say ignorance is bliss, but as a Tasmanian, having Angus expose mine is depressing. Being told of the loss of a friend you never had hurts but knowing they existed is soothing too. Of all the TH-cam videos I watch, these seem to go the fastest, yet they are the most sedate. Angus is actually walking around Tasmania bending time.
Thank you Angus! Another great video, complete with raven photo bomb, AND plover attacks. Govt chooses the path of destruction, and relentless development! Here in beautiful Tasmania, it's easy to see and feel the temperature and air quality difference in built up areas. I'm generally optimistic! Struggling here, thanks again for your great content 🌻👍
One of my most favourite paintings (in the Sydney Gallery) is William Charles Piguenit's "Flood on the Darling" (1890), so he must have travelled elsewhere around Australia. And BTW, I hope you pay The Dog good wages: the battle for the stick at 1:50 was priceless, and he made the most perfect sculpture on a plinth in the overflow carpark at 6:45!
In this context, there is an exhibition of the paintings by Mollie Tomlin OAM, owned by the Glenorchy City Council, which were some of the illustrations used for the two volume book on the history of Glenorchy, by Alison Alexander, currently on display at the Moonah Arts Centre.
Just wondering how many episodes there will be, I can imagine it would have to be many to cover all it's history 😳. I lived in Glenorchy most of my life and have seen the many changes it's undergone, a lot of it not for the best unfortunately 😕
Five episodes. I cover most of the things not already covered in other videos in the area. I believe the total run time for all five videos comes in at about 75 minutes. It was probably the biggest project I've done to date.
Wow who knew that before Glenorchy bacame a 💩 hole it was actually a beautiful place. Literally a guide on how to bastardise and destroy a place till it finally looks like a dogs breakfast.
McKay timber didn't and doesn't give a shit about this property, admittedly it needed work when they acquired the property but they let it deteriorate. Grove estate with the hop kilns would of been a site to see . Could of been a good tourist attraction, and the train park being so close as well
We discovered that our GG Grandmother lived in this home. Wright’s second wife. A young woman who could read and write, she first married a pardoned convict much older than her. They had 4 children and he died while they were still young. She had no choice but to give the youngest two to the Queens Orphanage in Hobart. She could not claim them back. She went on to marry Wright. So many stories of resilience behind these buildings.
The Mountain has always faced away from poor old Glenorchy. Couldn’t it have been swiveled around at least just once a year or so ?…..So that the people could see it properly ?….

Thank for tuning in, mate. It's the audience that allows me to make the videos.
And he's always got an excellent punchline at the end.
Fantastic as always! Bring on part 2!

Another reminder that change is inevitable and not always welcome. Looking forward to the continuation.
Everything changes. Next Sunday, Catriona.
Glenorchy...the land of secrets and vanishing castles. So good! Thanks again Angus (and the dog) for the journey into time and mystery.
Thanks for Part 1 @Angus. I couldn’t believe how much history has been lost in Glenorchy. No doubt aided by the rise of suburbia.
Cheers, mate. More to come.
@ Look forward to it!
Brilliant as always....
Thanks, mate.
Another fantastic and informative video, thank you Angus. Can't wait for the next one! Cheers
Thanks, Darren. Next Sunday.

Thanks, Sandra. Yeah, the birds and bees now too don't mind getting close to the drone.
Thank you for your time and efforts 👌
Thanks Mate

Mine too, I love it. Always visit it when I go to Sydney. It sits in a prominent position at the NSW Art Gallery.
So much history along the Derwent foreshore. Would appreciate revisiting the Cameron Estate and Berriedale area.
Cheers.
Stay tuned to the rest of the series.
Thanks Angus. Love your work!
Excellent, look forward to the next episode 👌😃.
Epic.
Thanks, mate.
Thanks Angus. So sad to see these places gone
It is a bit, it's undeniable.
Thanks Angus, will watch when sitting down for dinner!
Good stuff.
Thanks
Thank you, Craig. I hope you enjoy the following four vids in the series. It was a big project. Good way to round out the year too.
love the outros😉
Great work Angus, look forward to the next episode
Thanks, Michael. Vids will come out each Sunday until they're finished. Four more to go.
The plovers trying to attack the drone in almost every shot is hilarious 😂 Great video, it’s amazing to learn histories of the area.
Love these vids bro.
Thanks again Angus. Looking forward to the next installments.
Great video, thanks Angus. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
Great show.
Thanks, mate.
Cheers legend. I'll shout you a beer if we ever meet mate
Thanks so much Angus and Dog. I really enjoyed the dig at 3:37 regarding small casinos and Glenorchys lamentable record for poker machines.
🙏 how very interesting
It's an interesting place, if you decide to look closer.

God work Angus.
Brilliant 👏 👏
Thanks, Jade.
Oh man. This looks unreal.

At 6min in what is park you're walking in? Got to be glenorchy I hear that car all the time 😂
It not an official park. But it's in Weston Place. One of those streets that you only go on if you live on.
@@angusthornett thankyou it looks really nice, I've a little Chihuahua trying to find nice places close by to take him...
Glenorchy is also known as the Valley of Bogans
How many drones have fallen victim to those plovers.
That oast house would be killing the pig if it were still standing today.
McKay timber didn't and doesn't give a shit about this property, admittedly it needed work when they acquired the property but they let it deteriorate. Grove estate with the hop kilns would of been a site to see . Could of been a good tourist attraction, and the train park being so close as well
There's much more to Glenorchy than people realise. It's a place that is easily dismissed.
We discovered that our GG Grandmother lived in this home. Wright’s second wife. A young woman who could read and write, she first married a pardoned convict much older than her. They had 4 children and he died while they were still young. She had no choice but to give the youngest two to the Queens Orphanage in Hobart. She could
not claim them back. She went on to marry Wright. So many stories of resilience behind these buildings.
The foreshore land was actually given to the people of Tasmania by the owners of grove estate

Birds trying to take your drone out
The main reason you can't see it is because its gone.... 🤣
Ha

Thanks
Thank you for supporting the content, Rolf. It makes a difference. Four more episodes to come. Hope you enjoy them too.
