Now I can catch up on things that I didn't have time to catch up with on Friday afternoon.

Saturday, we went down to Hobart. With a test match on the eastern shore, the christmas parade in the city & the 10-15,0000 people who turned up for the anti-pulp mill rally, it was a tad busy. On the way home, we went via New Norfolk, and looked at a open garden. Not a bad way to spend a day.

Sunday, I stayed at Evandale. Went to the market, read a lot. Not a bad way to spend a day either.

Going to sort out photos now.



I wonder where they are going?

Anti-Pulp Mill Rally, Hobart

The focus of the rally was next week's Federal election: Vote against the pulp mill! Don't get discouraged by the election results, because we will continue to fight! Despite the rain, which set in quite hard but we are not going to complain about rain in mid-November, there was a good turn out. ABC says the police estimated it as 10-12,000; news.com.au got a bit more enthusiastic with 15,000. So it's a bit more than 'good'. Possibly it's the biggest rally I've been too. The big peace march, part of the coordinated international marches a few years back, drew 10,000 in Hobart. 15,000 is close to the capacity of the (AFL) Aurora Stadium in Launceston.

The rain stopped before the march started. (That's Edward, "Reg et Imp") ( Come on a walk around the middle of Hobart )
