Edition number of Signed by Richard Bennett Date RICHARD BENNETT OAM 1 PROLOGUE People often tell me how lucky I am to have made a living doing something I love so much. I agree with them. I do love my work. But neither my profession, nor my career, has anything to do with luck. My life, and my mindset, changed forever the day, as a boy, I was taken out to Hartz Mountain. From the summit, I saw a magical landscape that most Tasmanians didn’t know existed. For me, that moment started an obsession with wild places, and a desire to capture the drama they evoke on film. To the west, the magnificent jagged silhouette of Federation Peak dominated the skyline, and to the south, Precipitous Bluff rose sheer for 4000 feet out of the valley. Beyond that lay the south-west coast. I started bushwalking regularly after that, and bought my first camera. In 1965, I attended mountaineering school at Mount Cook on the Tasman Glacier, and in 1969, I was selected to travel to Peru as a member of Australia’s first Andean Expedition. The hardships and successes of the Andean Expedition taught me that I could achieve anything that I wanted.

  • Wellington Park Social Values and Landscape Assessment Report
    Wellington Park Management Trust WELLINGTON PARK SOCIAL VALUES AND LANDSCAPE – AN ASSESSMENT Prepared by McConnell, A. March 2012 Wellington Park Management Trust, GPO Box 503, Hobart, Tasmania, 7001. Cover – main photo: Mountain Snow [source WPMT] inset photos: :R - Sleeping Beauty [source WPMT] L - Fred Lakin at Lakins Lair [photo: A. McConnell] Explanatory Note This report has been prepared by the Wellington Park Management Trust as part of a multi-stage assessment of the landscape values of Wellington Park. This assessment focuses on the social values of Wellington Park, in particular those which relate to landscape. The assessment is based on a ‘Community Values Survey’, undertaken in late 2010-early 2011 by means of a short questionnaire that the greater Hobart community generally was encouraged to complete. The geographic scope of the study was the whole of Wellington Park. The aim of this study is to understand to what extent, and in which ways, the community, in particular the Greater Hobart community, value Wellington Park. A core part of the assessment was to assess how the Wellington Park landscape is appreciated in order to contribute to an understanding of the full range of landscape values that are being assessed in the broader Wellington Park Landscape Assessment. Wellington Park has acknowledged important landscape values which have applied since the early days of European settlement of Hobart, yet these have not been previously assessed formally or in detail. The main aim of the overall Wellington Park Landscape Assessment therefore is to provide important landscape values information to assist in managing the Park to meet the objectives of the Wellington Park Management Plan.

  • Bike Week – Bicycle Tasmania Hobart Rivulet Ride – Historical Notes To
    Bike Week – Bicycle Tasmania Hobart Rivulet Ride – Historical Notes Based on notes complied by Ken White from data supplied from Consultant Tony Rayner’s Historical Study 1988 to The Hobart City Council, and also on Hobart City Council information boards located along the Linear Park. To understand the Hobart Rivulet it is easier to split it into three sections; being: • The Wapping section up to the present Royal Hobart Hospital in Argyle Street. • The town section south to Barrack Street. • The industrial section above Molle St. All three sections are very much part of the whole as they lap over and intertwine to create a story bigger in many ways than Sullivans Cove or Battery Point. The Hobart Rivulet industrial area predates Battery Point by many years We will be riding on the section of The Rivulet above Barrack Street and especially what we know now-days as the Hobart Rivulet Linear Park. The more one knows about the Hobart Rivulet above Barrack Street the more it is to wonder at the sheer energy of the early settlers to survive and prosper in a foreign land albeit a land that had an abundance of natural resources. The top section of the Hobart Rivulet in the early 1800s has been described as the Silicon Valley of Tasmania and therefore Australia as a whole. One such resource was the water of the Rivulet to drive corn mills and facilitate the working of woollen mills, saw mills, tanneries, breweries, distilleries and a host of other manufacturing enterprises such as those centred around the Female Factory.
