The mountain is, rightly, getting back one of its older names - kunanyi - but from the distance of 30 years living away it's also nice to hear you just call it "The Mountain" as we (and probably most people in Hobart) always did.
I have so many regrets not purchasing 23 Colville st in Battery Point when I had the opportunity. I used to spend my earlier days in my favourite pub in Australia, the Shippies Arms dreaming how I would have only but metres to stagger home !! Sigh……
dear Angus, we watched your videos in our geography/history class and then forced our teacher to let us watch the rest. cant wait for the final video in 3 days!!!
Angus, your finesse with drone - based filming is simply some of the best available to view. Quite remarkable. And all of this intriguing ambling along the southerly stretches of Sandy Bay snapped me back into remembering trips to visit the ‘ Tudor Village ‘, whose entrance used to be crammed, if I remember correctly, with as many souvenir tea-towels, bottle - openers, & tea / sugar spoons as could be found in any self-respecting village shop in Swansea, Bicheno, or Saint Helens…
@@angusthornett I hope Tasmania is paying you for these videos, I'm planning a trip to visit so many locations from your videos. What can we do to get you to stump up for a 4k drone upload, fantastic stuff.
I used to stay many times at Wrest Point Casino and looking down you could see the Crown of Thorns starfish on the rocks. I’ve always wondered if their infestation is as bad as nearly 25 years when I was last there.
I recall driving to South Arm with friends (&cold beer) and finally found a place to park to watch the 'Tall Ships'. We stood on the dunes looking out to Storm Bay to see some limp sails hanging off tiny dots on the water. Should have gone to the pub and watched it on tele.
All those lovely sandy beaches now just rocky outcrops, all the way up to cadburys covered in with rock and rubbish. I must say the water clarity is getting better again
Excellent as always Angus. Living in Battery Point, Short Beach is often on my morning walk route. Very interesting to hear about the baths and the more distant beaches....Architecture, and it's relationship with the surroundings are of course subject to personal taste but I do dislike the Wrest Point Casino building... sometimes you put up a structure that stands out and it works, like the Shard in London poking up from the victorian mews houses..the glass roof over the Reichstag in Berlin or even the Tasman hotel right here in Hobart...to my eye they work... but Wrest Point is just pure ugly (to me) and sticks out without character or beauty... thank you for taking the many hours it takes to research and film these gems. :-)
Really cool to see and hear the Sandy Bay stories. A bunch of us do a regular motorbike tour of Tassie and usually stay at the casino when in that area. I have wandered around a lot of the areas you showed but never knew their story. Thanks for the information
Your channel is an absolute treasure, mate. I've always been an avid urban explorer - previously in my native Brisbane and now in my adopted hometown of Hobart. You've given me more than a little inspiration for places to check out on my days off.
Hi Angus and Cute Dog! Beautiful weather for your video the day you filmed. Can’t help but feel sad that so much change has been wrought but I guess it’s just the modern way of things. Wrest Point is an eyesore though and nothing could fix it except removing it 😂😭😂😭😂😭
@@angusthornett - my brother lives in South Hobart and tells a slightly different story 🤣😂🤣. He sends me a weather report and photo of Kunanyi every morning!
Interesting to hear your pronunciation of Marieville Esplanade as "Meryl-ville Esplanade", I've pronounced it "MAR-eh-ville" my whole life. Still, lets never call it "Marie-ville" haha
It's wrong to think Tribal Aboriginals had a name for everything. In Tasmania there was only up to 5,000 tribal people at the time of Settlement, and probably less.
Aboriginal Tasmanians settled around 40,000 years ago. And they were living where Hobart is now when the English military arrived. Wrest Point had been a prominent piece of land for millennia. It's so unlikely that different bands of people didn't have different names for it, especially give the long time frame. It wasn't just 5000 (a guesstimate number) people, it was thousands of people over people over thousands of years. We're talking about hundreds of thousands of people. And names change over time. Eventually Wrest Point's name will change again too or it won't exist due to the coastline alterations.
@@angusthornett No the 40K year claim is fake science. It's based on Ancient-DNA methods, that use PCR to confirm invented narratives. PCR simply confirms if molecules exist in a soup of blended bone. It doesn't prove any DNA factual link. The same PCR as 2019 agenda. The original dating of tribal people was from Mungo Bones, that got dated from strata level, getting a rating of 24K yrs. Later Ancient DNA was used to claimed 40K, then 65Kyrs, now they pushing 80K yrs, and it's 100% political/agenda based. Mungo bones when found were said to be Caucasian in structure. The bones were found burnt, and showed signs of being murdered. No carbon dating could be conducted. There's simply no evidence Tribal people have been in Australia more than 1000 years.
@@angusthornett When I was a child adventuring to creeks, and other locations, we'd only given names to significant places, like the fishing spot or the destination camp site. If we needed to describe something other, it would be like "the bend" before we get to the camp site. We didn't name every section of a river for example. This would have been exactly the same with B-Fella Tribal people. So unless they used that wrest point outcrop, then no name would have been given.

Yeah, I've always said 'the mountain ' 🤗
think that may be a new name, quite a bit of money has been injected to forming the language
It is Mount Wellington and should always be called that
angus is the hobart icon

Sorry for calling you out in class, ha.
@@angusthornett no worries ☺ thank you for coming in today, everyone really enjoyed it
I love Sunday evening kicking back and watching your latest video.
Blokes & Sheilas, love your use of the Aussie vernacular Angus, keep it up bloke.
very handsome and well behaved dog

Exit thru the gift shop.
@@angusthornett Exactly ! I was told that the place was closed ( demolished ? ) some time ago, which I was saddened to hear.
Long gone

Educational..I love it .. between you and Rob Parsons videos should have own shows on mainstream
TH-cam is superior to legacy media.
Yes.still be a hit for the oldies without Internet
You're doing a great service for Tourism Tasmania. You picked the perfect day for aerial shos. gorgeous.
Great episode. I would love to see you cover other parts of Hobart's shoreline like, Kingston Beach and Blackmans Bay.

Thanks for another exquisite video. Hobart is my favourite city but those units on Marieville and the Casino itself are scars on the streetscape.

We went to South Arm to see the tall ships and camped at Berridale.

You may also find new ways of seeing the place specific to you.
always enjoy your stories and vision Mate.. tassie!.. 'The Dog'....hahaaa.... :)
My old haunts 🙂, we used to fish off the old green jetty, Thanks Aguus
Another interesting show. I just get settled and into it and it is over. Looking forward to the next one. Great job Angus.
Thank you. Glad you got something from it.
Angus your filming and editing made Sandy Bay look like the Riverera !😳
Yeah, water looks warm.
I come for the Tasmania but stay for your descriptions
All good Youtoob channels need a dog. And The Dog is a beauty!
Another Awesome video Angus, indepth research great content and brilliantly presented. 👌🏽🤙🏽
I lived in Waimea Ave in the mid 1970's!
An expensive address these days!
the view from the primary school top oval is very similar to the view of waimea in hawaii
Was that little Dog having a swim during the drone work? You really are a gem of information 💖🤗👌👌👌
Possibly
Another very interesting video, Angus. Thank you.
Cheers Ricky
Love Tasmania
Hopefully we'll get to see some history on Battery Point next week. Plenty of stories there.
Maybe one day
I did Sea Scouts as a kid at "1st Battery Point" in Marieville Esplanade. Looks like they still operate a scout group there.
Awesome vid bro! Love those spots, thanks for the history!
Thanks again Angus
Cheers, Anthony
Any plans for the history of the Huon Valley perhaps ?? .......awesome video as always... you really reel people in and keep them fascinated..
Maybe one day. I’d like to see more Tasmanian TH-camrs generally.
Good job Angus! Excellent research and vid production.
The short shorts historian.😂
Loved it!
Thank you
👍🏻 looks like a nice place
Hi Angus and Cute Dog! Beautiful weather for your video the day you filmed.

I've been thinking more of late, of returning to Tassie for another break - Let me know if you'd be up for a catch up mate.
I don’t get out much, mate.
@@angusthornett Nor do I these days...Hence why it's been SO long since I've been anywhere!

Names are fungible
Please can you tell me sir how to get the Tasmanian citizenship? Thanks you
Just a quick thought, i would like to see you do a episode on the future afl stadium area
Demolition of Hobart International Exhibition 1894 video, kinda. Between the two proposed stadium sites.
Hobart's version of Bondi Beach?
Sydney is the impersonator.

@JimmyCall calling something ‘the bend’ is literally naming it.
