Point to Pinnacle: Truganini Track
Sunday 12 August (97 days to go) Not far from my house is the Truganini Track, which is a 2.1 km medium grade bush walk from the Cartwright Reserve on Sandy Bay Road up to the Mt Nelson Signal Station, an elevation of 350 metres. Ever since I found out...
Point to Pinnacle part 1
A backlog of posts about my Point to Pinnacle experience, being a not overly fit, desk-bound, not-getting-any-younger casual walker. 27 July 2018 I like to walk. I go for a 20-minute walk every morning and aim to walk at least 12,000 steps every day. Occasionally, I sign up for...

Death’s Dateless Night
St David’s Cathedral, on the corner of Murray and Macquarie Streets in Hobart, is a building I see almost every day and, consequently, have become immune to its presence. Originally it was a replacement for the wooden St David’s Church that was erected in St David’s Park over the...
Walk in her shoes – Day 2
I woke up at that unspeakable hour this morning to hear an unusual rumbling. At first I thought it was trucks, but didn’t take too long to work out it was thunder, accompanied by a huge lightning show out the kitchen window. Well I wasn’t about to go outside...

Thursday. Work day. Early start day, though it seems like there have been more early start days than not lately. 1 of 12 – Showers were forecast. They arrived. 2 of 12 – Yesterday’s haul of letters seeking further donations from charities I have donated to. Now attempting to...
