My dad arrived in tassie around this time as a 19 year old , it definitely changed in the 71 years he was here for
Bloody love these old films. Many thanks to whoever recorded it, you did a wonderful job!
Wonderful footage. Thanks for posting.
This is the best quality 9.5mm footage i have seen and far better than most 16mm. It was reversal so would have been an expensive undertaking but very good it was done and the first time i have seen good film of Hobart and area of the period, thanks for putting it up.
This footage would be post 1952 and pre 1954. The fishing boat transiting Constitution Dock at 2 minutes 14 seconds in, is Aklavik. She was built by Alf Cuthbertson in 1952 for Mosman Dentist Dr. TJ Cottee. By 1954, she was based in Mosman (NSW) and became the centre of a massive police manhunt when she was stolen and put aground on Newport Beach by a young gentleman with a mental health issue. During the hunt, two police officers were shot and injured. The young man was captured and was sentenced to 10 years jail.
Allavik is back in Tasmanian waters these days and owned by my cousin Wade and I.
Thankyou so much. I loved it. Cheers, John

Just Beautiful🤤
One has to marvel at the fourth site of the person who chose to shoot this film, thus capturing a moment in the lives of Hobart and its people. Movie film can't have been that easy to access?
All photos prior to 1955 are out of copyright in Australia, so why the ridiculous copyright warning? State Library of Victoria has the right approach.
Hobart was a beautiful city back then. In the name of progress, many of these fine and integrated buildings were demolished in the 1960s, giving us the dog's breakfast we have today. One needs only to go to Launceston to see what might have been.
Yeah, true, but was the same in most cities..I think Hobart has managed to integrate the old with new, quite well.. up to now..will change when that monstrosity is built.
Hobart is still a beautiful city.
Now... it's in color!
❤ it
Great content but I question the date. There's clearly a 1951 Ford Deluxe at 4:07 and 4:19. Unlikely that they would have been here in 1950
There still running trams so its pre-1960.
See the number plates on a couple of the cars starting with 3, so 1952/53.
The film title does say 'circa' ... anyone know what the phonograph record is in the display window @ 06:51? I can't read the notice. R (Hobart)
What a shame there are no explanations. Makes this video rather useless unless you were there at the time. Such a pity.
