I love how the mall was. It looked way better with the trees. I can only remember back to when the pavement had painted on it a large cartoon style map of Launceston that I spent ages looking at. When I was a small child I thought that was the best part of going to town!
Awesome a trip down memory lane.. it makes your head spin... it make me feel like doing one now for years to come ,so we may look back at life in the same way.
I love how everyone is dressed as though they were Exclusive Brethren.
I remember one Sunday morning after Church, jumping into one of those kids blocks in the mall and narrowly missing a fresh pile of vomit. I didn't play on the blocks after that.
This is great. Hilarious. I know it's not supposed to be but I think it's great. I watched with a big smile. The mall actually looks heaps better then with all the trees etc. that it does now. Now there are 'monster cushions' and the whole place smells like a used ashtray.
Thankyou for you videos on Launceston , i too grew up in this beautiful unique city (in the 60,s), left there when i was in my 20,s and have lived in Queensland for years .I travelled back there about 8 years ago and it was only then i realised just how beautiful this place is .Tassie people are special as well i feel they have their own kind of charm.These videos have made me want to have a trip back again soon .
I filmed Launceston with a National Panasonic M7 Video Camera which took full size VHS Video Tapes. The camera was heavy to carry all the way from Racecourse Cresent, all through Launceston, up the Cataract Gorge (Did'nt have the streagnth to get to Duck Reach!!) and up over West Launceston and back home to Racecourse Cres again! The camera cost $90.00 to hire for a week from Wills in the Quadrant at the time. Also it took me 15 hours to upload this video to Youtube on dial up!! Its worth It!
Thanx heaos for posting this. I used to live in the city at this time and I was also one of those "annoying youths" who hung around at the Myer seats!
OMG that is so weird... I am sure that is me walking with my ex through the quadrant! I would recognise his walk anywhere!!! He is wearing what appears to be a red t shirt but from memory it was pink!
i was born this year :D

The mall doesn't look the same without the mall bogans.
Nice to see that not a lot has changed in 20 years though...

Real cars? As opposed to, what, ghost cars?? By the way your wall paper is really disgusting. Don't know what it is but it looks gross.
