FRIDAY MORNING RADIO, Edition 476, 9.00 ~ Midday AEST
Easy listening, retro and recent releases not heard on mainstream radio throughout the morning, on the Derwent Valley’s own radio station.
Today’s photo – This edition, going back many years to September, 2004, and a view of the Derwent Valley as seen from the Derwent Valley Railway’s train, on a section of the line known as the Ivanhoe Bank.
The non-profit, all-volunteer body ran passenger excursion trains on the scenic line between New Norfolk and Mt Field National Park for many years. Unfortunately, officialdom caused the services to cease in late 2005.
Lack of co-operation from successive State Governments has kept the entire operation “grounded” in the New Norfolk railway yard since. There are none so blind as those who cannot see.

FRIDAY MORNING RADIO, Edition 474, 9.00 ~ Midday AEST
Easy listening, retro and recent releases not heard on mainstream radio throughout the morning, on the Derwent Valley’s own radio station.
Today’s photo – Portion of the Bridgewater causeway, around 20 kilometres from New Norfolk, which was constructed by teams of convicts under a brutal overseer in the 1830s.
Solid rock sourced from an adjacent quarry was used, using the most primitive tools.
This causeway served road and, later, rail traffic continuously for 190 years until recently, when a new concrete road bridge was opened.

FRIDAY MORNING RADIO, Edition 473, 9.00 ~ Midday AEST
Easy listening, memories and new releases not heard on mainstream radio throughout the morning, on the Derwent Valley’s own radio station.
Today’s photo – St Mathew’s Close, adjacent to St Mathew’s Anglican Church, New Norfolk. The first section was constructed next to the pre-existing church in 1866, for use as a Sunday School.
After the building was enlarged in 1890, it was also used as a hall.
In the late 1960s, it came to be used as a small museum, as well as an art and craft shop. Profits from it’s operation aid ongoing preservation of St Mathew’s Church which, dating to 1823, is one of the oldest existing churches in Tasmania.

FRIDAY MORNING RADIO, Edition 472, 9.00 ~ Midday AEST
Easy listening, memories and new releases through the morning, on the Derwent Valley’s own radio station.
Today’s photo – The lift-span bridge crossing the Derwent between Granton and Bridgewater has been an important part of Tasmania’s transport infrastructure since World War 2, providing the main road and railway link between Hobart and the north.
As of last Monday, it was decommissioned, in favour of a newly completed road-only bridge, just downstream.
Photo – Taken Thursday 5 June by Yours Truly.
