From the Film Australia Collection. Made by the Commonwealth Film Unit 1966. Directed by Peter Young and John Edwards. A picture of life in the Tasmanian town of Launceston in the mid 1960s.
The Life In Australia series portrays Australian cities and rural centres as happy, lively places where good homes, abundant jobs, schools, hospitals and amenities provide the foundation for a relaxed lifestyle where sport, shopping, religion and even art combine to create a homogenous and prosperous society.

Discover more about Launceston, what to see and do when you visit. The town, often described as a gem is high on the 'to-do' list for many visitors to the county. Follow the town trails, buy a pasty, and enjoy the views from the castle green.
Down in the valley, below Launceston Castle lays Newport. Here the River Kensey flows through beautiful countryside and the steam train puffs on the line to Newmills. The tranquillity of the area belies its importance in both Launceston and Cornwall's history.

In April 1929, Launceston was devastated by floods which inundated large parts of Invermay and Inveresk, as well as other low lying areas of the city.
Inveresk and Invermay were evacuated without loss of life, but 22 people were killed in other flood-affected areas around Tasmania.
More than 4000 Northern Tasmanians were left homeless by the floods, and the city took many years to recover from the disaster.
Since 2010, the City of Launceston and Launceston Flood Authority have been working on a $58m project, aimed at reconstructing the city's flood levees.

Footage of the flooding disaster of 1929, which claimed the lives of 22 people. Fourteen were killed when the Cascade Dam at Derby collapsed on the town. The severe weather across the North East of Tasmania caused flood waters from both the North and South Esk rivers to converge on Launceston. The city was left without electricity, as the Duck Reach power station had been destroyed in the torrent. The Tamar river broke its banks and the low lying suburbs of Launceston began evacuating in the early hours of the morning.

In April 1929, Launceston was devastated by floods which inundated large parts of Invermay and Inveresk, as well as other low lying areas of the city.
Inveresk and Invermay were evacuated without loss of life, but 22 people were killed in other flood-affected areas around Tasmania.
More than 4000 Northern Tasmanians were left homeless by the floods, and the city took many years to recover from the disaster.
Since 2010, the City of Launceston and Launceston Flood Authority have been working on a $58m project, aimed at reconstructing the city's flood levees.

Footage of the flooding disaster of 1929, which claimed the lives of 22 people. Fourteen were killed when the Cascade Dam at Derby collapsed on the town. The severe weather across the North East of Tasmania caused flood waters from both the North and South Esk rivers to converge on Launceston. The city was left without electricity, as the Duck Reach power station had been destroyed in the torrent. The Tamar river broke its banks and the low lying suburbs of Launceston began evacuating in the early hours of the morning.

- Raging torrents at Cataract Bridge
- Water under suspension bridge
- Water emerging into Tamar River
- Water under Cataract Bridge
- Aerial view of bridge and river
- Flooded shed
- Boat being swept away

You broke my heart, tore it apart
Thought it was cute, thought it was smart
But now I'm back and I've got the strength of ten
So I got a message for you my friend
I'm Daniel waitin' in the lion's den
Daniel waitin'for that lion to come
Daniel waitin'in the lion's den
Dum dum dee dum dum dee dee dum dum
That old lion's mean and long in the tooth
And like you, baby, he's out on the loose
Messin' hearts up time and time again
Now it's the time for that messin' to end
At night I hear you out prowling around
Tearing guys up, scaring 'em down
Now all that growling's gonna come to no end
