  1. Another good video Angus. Out of interest, do you know what the big concrete slab that's under the pink glass art installation was from? It's a pretty sizable slab but obviously predates the art installation and doesn't seem to be tied to the docking pontoon

  2. Wilkinson's Point contains the "ruins" from the casting yard from the Bowen Bridge from 1979-83. You can see the outlines of the caisson coffer rings and other elements of the match cast segmental box girder bridge before these elements were floated down on barges.

  3. Such interesting and arresting reflections on Hobartโ€™s history, more to notice and consider as we drive or walk around. I wonder too what is under the concrete slabs in our own small garden, apart from Victorian sewer pipes.
    Thank you again.

  4. Thank you again. Fascinating stuff. I had never seen the Grove mansion before although I visit around there a lot and vaguely recall it burning down. It's such a shame we haven't been a bit more careful with our recent heritage.

  5. Loving your in depth and sometimes very unknown facts on Hobartโ€™s past, so much history forgotten or โ€œmisplacedโ€ in regards to the mansion in the lumber yard. Look forward to more videos like this as I just learnt about the old lime factory on the hill of old Collinsville road.

  6. Would like to find out about the 2 wooden โ€œHobart Cityโ€ signs in the bush on the left as you leave Lenah Valley on Kalamg Ave. 1 on the top of the hill and one at the bottom before the right hand bend.

  7. The Rosella factory became the warehouse for the old SupaValu foodstore chain, and Purity Supermarket warehouse prior to their move to Lampton Avenue, the floor of which I carted premixed concrete to. When Purity was bought by Woolworths it became their warehouse. Its now the SeaRoad Transport depot.

  8. Can you go down the Huon and do some history there as in the old monastery at copper alley bay and where the old jettys where, why Cygnet was called Lovett.
    There is lots of history here, something you will really be able to sink your teeth in away from the Yuppie eateries.

  10. The glass at GASP cost 15k to replace apparently. Since it opened 10 years ago they've had to replace about 100, $1.5m wasted. It does look cool all shattered though but not when it's just smashed. I wish they would start on the rest of the Wilkinsons point redevelopment
