Ditto. Before my time in Tassie.
One treasured asset I have - kindly given to us by a friend - a Pedder Penny. Hold it, close your eyes, feel time in your hands.

Despite condemnation of the HEC consider that many of our easier access tracks would not be available today same goes for Forestry (Arm River et al ) so lets just enjoy what we have today and be thankfull that we have our health and will to continue our exploration of Tasmania.
No need for frustration , sadness or anger just be happy to be alive and live life because when you are over 60 like me you will start to count the years left and that is bluidy scary (scots spelling beats the swear checker)
