Historic kunanyi Photos
YouTube channel Forgotten Tasmania shares albumen photos of kunanyi / Mt Wellington.
Photographer John Watt Beattie left a legacy. He started a passion for Tasmania that is still burning more than one hundred years after his death. His photographic collection gives us a view of Tasmania’s wilderness, industry, our people, both those that arrived in the last 200 years and those that were here before; our indigenous, convict and colonial ancestors.
These photographs are an extraordinary window into our past, they can take us back in time and show us how things have stayed the same or changed with the ebb and flow of history. We are Tasmanian, these are our stories. The full collection is available to view FREE on the web site www.beattiesstudio.com.
Support the restoration of the collection via https://www.patreon.com/ForgottenTasmania. All money from sales on the Beattie’s Digital Studio web site and Patreon supporters is used to restore and preserve the collection.
