Hobart is looking picturesque this afternoon

Hanging out at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens today. Here is a picture of the lily pond.

IN TASMANIA…
I'm not on the kunanyi-Mt Wellington summit, but the city council's summitcam is, where this morning at 07.45 it is -1°C at 1271m with a light wind from the NNE at 1kph. A fine and calm morning.

The rising sun shines off the waters of the Derwent and if you look closely you can see the Tasman Bridge in the glow. A patch of fair weather cumulus drifts lazily past the summit through which you see the Eastern Shore and, to the right of the picture, South Arm peninsula, beyond which lie the waters of Storm Bay. The town of Kingston nestles on the Derwent shore at the right extremity of the frame.

In the other photo, the warming glow of the rising sun shines on the cold dolerite boulders of the summit.

There's a little snow about up there this morning. Don't you wich you were up here?

Y'know, the #AFL could just decide the new Hobart stadium doesn't need a roof? Just sayin'

It's that time of the year when the eucalpyts shed the worn, dirty, grey outer bark and emerge clean and bright, ready for the cool season ahead.

Sulphur-crested Cockatoos descend on the neighbour’s apple trees.

I stayed at the Alabama Hotel in Hobart these last three days. Can recommend it very highly.
Cute rooms, coffee and bar, shared bathrooms, pretty cheap. https://www.alabamahobart.com.au/

The public meeting demanded by the anti-bike-lane Confederation of Greater Hobart Businesses just voted overwhelmingly to support the council's proposed Collins Street tactical trial (which includes safe, separated bike lanes). The confederation will no doubt find some way to spin this, but there's no hiding from the fact that they couldn't even muster a majority for the very meeting they demanded.

If they continue with their demand for an elector poll, it will be another humiliating defeat for them and a waste of Hobart rate payer money.

Our politicians keep telling us what we want or don't want, but when it comes down to it, most people know that cities need to be more green.

Good for you, Hobart, following similar recent stories in Paris and Vancouver.
