Today among relatives who have served across different conflicts, we remember Lieutenant Arthur Gurr Hinman — my great grand uncle - who served in at Gallipoli during WW1.

We remember him.

The Foo Fighters’ Tasmanian concert has injected an estimated $7 million into northern Tasmania’s economy, with Launceston Airport recording its busiest day in its 95 year history, data has revealed.

Almost 6,900 passengers passed through the airport the day before the sold-out show, with airlines adding thousands of extra seats.

"When the airport's busy, the cafes are busy, the pubs are busy, the hotels are busy, and the whole region feels that benefit," Launceston Airport CEO Katie Cooper said.

Hotels across Launceston filled within minutes of the announcement, with many visitors travelling from interstate.

Clinton Pentland from Launceston's Mercure Hotel said his venue achieved 96% occupancy for January, the best month in the hotel's 10-year operating history.

Tourism and hospitality operators say the economic boost extended well beyond the concert weekend.

Truly appreciative of the incredible local pump track and community facilities in Launceston. Seeing kids build confidence and supporting others is what it’s all about.
