Sixty years ago, the shape of Hobart - tucked in between river and mountain - was quite similar to today. But look closer, and so much has changed. In this delightful little film posted by Libraries Tasmania, we get to spot the electric trams, Ansett airplanes, the mountain 1967 fires, elephants, and much much more. Enjoy!
