I wonder if you might do a story on the (I think) APM paper mill and forestry operation which was near New Norfolk. As an apprentice woodworker I studied forestry and sawmill operations and from my understanding the mill used it's original land grant wisely. It was divided into 52 sections, each representing a week of the year. 4 were set aside as old growth reserve representing the 4 weeks of holiday per year. The other 48 were logged for the mill, 1 each year, meaning that by the time 48 years had passed there was enough regrowth to continue to support the mill. The company is no longer but the foresight in environmental conservation is little known and should be brought to attention. Of course, you are the man to do it. Keep up the great work Angus.

Angus I am a retired School teacher and share your love of History. As a child I saw Ron Barassi playing and I accidently knocked PM Bob Hawke to his knees. The past made us who we are and can be. You and others remind us that our present is built upon the shoulders of our past hard working ancestors.

I was in town when the news about the Tasman Private Hospital being canned was announced. As a broadcaster myself, it’s sad to see broadcast facilities like the old TVT6 building torn down. So much broadcast history from that building, both radio (7HT) and television.

@@angusthornett It probably will end up some sort of residential. Nearly all of the former TV studio sites on the mainland are now residential areas. In Coffs Harbour NSW where I’m based, the old NRN11 studios, which are still being used for broadcasting (the local Hit and Triple M outlets are there), is on the market. It’s right in the middle of a residential area and looks out of place. Mind you, the studios were there long before residents moved in. It used to be banana plantations around there. I’m confident that whoever buys the land will knock the studios down and put some sort of housing on there. It’s a shame because it is one of the last original TV studio sites in NSW or Australia still being used for broadcasting, albeit radio.

Angus you narrate these videos as a writer. You have a wonderful way of articulating these important times in history. My singular belief is that Education holds the key to a better and new path for this troubled world today. Education is empowering and provides the opportunity to create a foundation for a better life. The ruins of the Claremont school seem to symbolise a foreboding sense of where our Education systems are headed…

That little church could easily be saved. Just need to apply evidure which is basically a diluted epoxy and then probably a marine grade primer and a few coats of paint with sanding between coats and it would be perfect. A new roof and similar treatment to the beams and it would last until Christs Return.

Your video’s are like a literary and visual reflection on our past. I feel a bit nostalgic and sentimental looking at these buildings you discuss. I came to Tasmania as a Fairbridge child to a home in Exceter, i never knew the history of these places. You have helped me fill in the gaps of the new land i came to love as my home. Your videos have given me such a unique perspective of Hobart. Thank you Angus and doggie.

G’day Angus, this one hits a little hard. Firstly I attended this primary school between 1953 and 1958.. It’s demise is a little tragic for me. Prior to that it was the site of my mothers ancestral family home. Re churches, the Hobart hinterland is littered with derelict or repurposed churches, Methodist Church and grave yard at Old Beach, Hestercombe and graveyard at Ten Mile Hill on the Midland Highway and the old Church of England as you come into Claremont. Finally of streetscapes and demolitions. A demolitition occurs, and I ask myself what used to be there. What is. Better. A vacant block with a ring lock fence or the abandoned building that is a memory of the past.

The old New Town Catholic Tennis Club courts from memory were in Sunnyside Rd, New Town. Very nice quiet area, doubt the neighbours would be very receptive to having Housos on that site with all the trash and troubles that lot bring. Luke Bradshaw's gravesite, Luke Bradshaw died when he got drunk on his mate's boat in Prince of Wales Bay one Winter's evening back in 2014 and fell in and drowned aged 39.
