8 Mar. 2020 - Docks

To Jackman & McRoss for our morning coffee, then a meander around the Battery Point foreshore - tracking the history + numbers of the sculpture trail from Errol Flynn to the sandstone near the silos.

We scour the art stores + find four glass coaster 'signalling flags' spelling B's name for her birthday.

Lunch-rolls + a final beer on Parliament lawns before another art trail - street art in alleyways, courtyards + forgotten doorways - all bright, busy, bold + proud. The city embracing its youth + their passions.

We return to the Skybus via Victoria + Constitution Docks, spying the Lady Nelson all webbed with rope rigging + the Port of Hobart tugs 'Mount Florance' + 'Yandeyarra'. Elegant in their powerful fucntionality.

I do like this city!

Notes: Every city on earth should have a proud display of their youths' street art on a similar model as Hobart's. Beautiful, revealing, empowering, truthful. Magnificent.

That's my final entry for this blog. I do hope you have enjoyed reading it as much as I've enjoyed revisiting the trips in its making. If I ever elect to do something similar (or different!) in the future, I'll include a pointer from here ...
