There was an environmental impact test done back in the 80's of Mt Wellington. And it's surrounds. All the way down into the suburbs, including Hobart. Those rocks are on all sides of the mountain, and a land slide can occur in any direction. As for the slow slip, the whole area, not just Taroona has the same issue. In fact in the test it was warned, that Hobart will one day slide into the Derwent. It was also advised that no buildings or infrustructure should be built on the slopes of Mt Wellington either. There have been minor movements over the years, with heavy rains. Pylons have been built to stop some land sliding, but it only adds more weight to the surface. This environmental impact test was buried, and the man who conducted it, sent to Bangladesh to work on rising sea levels. Believe it or not. That's up to who ever reads this. As the report will probably never see the light of day, if it's true. But I think it is credible, given the past issues.
Great information. I never knew of the landslide in Glenorchy from the 1870s, the Rosetta landslide in the early 1990s was big news in Tasmania at that time.
Thank you Angus, I have a personal connection to the landslip. I found out last year from my mother that one of my great-great-great grandfathers Henry Ranahan died in the landslip flood at Murrayfield while clearing a log jam. They didn't find his body for 4 weeks until it washed up at the Grove where you visited, washed down through Humphreys Rivulet. Personally, I don't mind Grove that much, it is quite a pretty area from the right angles, ignoring the traffic noise.
I maybe should of read the comments here first as I just commented stating the same thing but hey I suppose it's nice to find others that are also in the know I guess...
Cheers, Henry. I'm trying to get the subscriber numbers up atm, so that the channel can become sustainable. If you feel inclined, don't be afraid to share my videos. I want to post more into the future.
@@angusthornett It takes time to build up subscribers. you might need to have a call for actions in the video and description. “If you enjoy the video, pls thumb up, share and subscribe”. Your contents are classic, it’s educational, fun and it will be relevant for many years to come. Just keep up with what you are doing. You will be fine. 👍
Hey dude absolutely loving your content it's always good to find videos about things local to me so keep up the good work and il keep hitting like for you. The reason I'm commenting though is because sorry to say but that is not Humphrey's Rivulet it is in fact Barossa Creek which is a much smaller waterway with much less flow. Humphrey's is a lot nicer looking waterway too and looks a lot less polluted with nice rocks and clear looking water unlike Barossa Creek that is a lot less rockier with the majority of it have dirt banks more like a farm irrigation creek. Keeps on keeping on though and I'm off to watch a few more or your uploads now...
Absolutely love your videos, Angus! Always interesting, educational and beautifully delivered with some wonderful scenery thrown in to boot. Thank you! You've inspired me to get out and explore my local area too. I've learnt so much from you and can't wait to see what's next on your agenda. Best wishes. TJ
Thanks, TJ. I'm trying to get the subscriber count up. Don't be afraid to share my videos. That will help a lot, so that the channel become sustainable and I can post more content.
Awesome videos man very informative, love learning about history especially Hobart as my grandfather grew up there in the Cascades and battery point in the early nineteen hundreds.
Cheers Brother another great video some very interesting comments,, its another cover up im imaging aswell as most of His Story as you are slowly but definitely surely exposing. Love your work Angus maybe it's your Scottish heritage coming thru as another truth seeker like my self. Take care Brother love and Light to you all❤🙏🏽
Hopefully they can avoid situations like this in the future. Sounded like the Landslide that happened in the UK in 1966 "Aberfan". Almost destroyed a town.

I've always hated that part of Glenorchy and Lenah Valley. Never wanted to live there, nor go there. Sometimes you'd be trapped driving in the back streets and I wanted out asap of the area.
I'm a Brit who's has bit of a bug for History Part of which is our previous Empire building I am Very ashamed of most of it But I digress I have stumbled upon your Channel And I am thrown back To see the City of Hobart Not on a Google map but in video format with rain and fog I'm a sailor of yachts So am very aware of the Hobarts reputation Thank you young man for opening a porthole into your world

Mate the pacing of your videos brings me calmness like no other, you are a fantastic content creator
So... What did we learn from this video? ... *DO NOT* buy a property in Glenorchy,
I lived in Glenorchy for over 20 yrs not once did I hear this story..great video again champ 👍🍺😉
Apparently sections of Mount Nelson are ripe for something like this to occur given anough rainfall.
Another awesome video, once again another history lesson 👏 👏
Well that was interesting, there is a lot of rock like that above Hobart and you are correct, there is no reason a landslip will not occur again.
Great information. I never knew of the landslide in Glenorchy from the 1870s, the Rosetta landslide in the early 1990s was big news in Tasmania at that time.
What a great video.. always learn so much from your videos.

Fascinating!! I think one can still see that bare patch on the mountain 🤔
It's still there.
I believe you were standing at the end of Barossa Creek but Humphrey's is a stone toss away.
Crazy to think all of Tolosa Park is a land slide.
I maybe should of read the comments here first as I just commented stating the same thing but hey I suppose it's nice to find others that are also in the know I guess...
Great video, champ!
Thank you. I’ve been living in Hobart for 3 years. It’s always intriguing to know a little more of its history. Can’t wait to hear the next story.

You're right but both waterways exploded with debris flow in 1872.

@@angusthornett sure thing mate
Hi Angus
I'm really loving your videos, where do you learn all this stuff? Do you have any Hobart history resources that you'd reccomend?
Hopefully you didn’t walk through the high school with an axe 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks again, awesome Hobart history lesson.
I had no idea , another interesting eps thankyou .
Just found your channel this morning and your videos are excellent and so detailed. I have learnt so much!

I always learn so much. Thank you.
👏👏👏
I went to Taroona as well
So did I, 76-79, although I didn’t apply myself I still have fond memories.
Same yrs as me
What caused most of the damage was that the slip created a dam behind which them broke causing a massive amount of water released at once
holy moly! thank you. this is the hobart content I have been craving all my life. wow. what is your secret? (just quietly)
Very interesting indeed. Thank you.
Cheers
💚
