Thanks for the memories. Although done two years before I was born, this movie reminds me of so many of the landmarks from my childhood and, of course, the changing in roads's direction, the bridge and the hills without houses. So much has changed yet so much has remnained the same.

I think Hobart is also beautiful now everything has to move forward otherwise there wouldn't be a Tasmania and Hobart I remember when nothing was on Constitution dock actually I think it is better now there is the taste of Tasmania Muir's Fish frenzy and Salamanca place is better now the market is amazing and the town is sweet nothing stays the same as long as it keeps its charm and I think it has and food is great 🐀💙
