Every trip coordinator is an unpaid volunteer who organises the walk for fellow Club members. They are not paid professionals with commensurate training and responsibility. Thus each trip member is responsible for their own safety, suitability of equipment and personal skills. Members and visitors take part in Club organised activities at their own risk. The Club does not offer qualified first aid. Club activities involve inherent risks and dangers. The published Walk Previews grade the level of difficulty and distance, and may indicate some risks. However, unanticipated and unavoidable hazards can occur which result in serious injury or property loss/damage. For example, weather can be unpredictable and change quickly, tracks become treacherous and accidents can happen. Liability Members acknowledge and agree that in applying to become a member (of whatever grade) or renewing that membership of the Club that the nature of the activities carried out by the Club and by participating voluntarily, freely and at their own risk, are such that it would be unreasonable for the Club or any of its members acting on its behalf to be in any way responsible for any injury, or death, to members or to damage to their property and members hereby, to the full extent permitted by law, waive all of their legal rights of action against and fully release the Club for loss, damage or injury or death or loss or damage to property howsoever arising out of or in relation to member’s participation in the activities conducted by the Club including without limitation, liability for any negligent or tortuous Act or omission or breach of statutory duty on the part of the Club, its office bearers or agents. Insurance and Legal Matters The Club insurance covers public liability, excluding member-to-member events, during Club activities. Members' vehicles are not covered. For further information write to the Secretary on constitutional or legal matters and the Treasurer on insurance matters.

    APPLICATION UNDER HOBART INTERIM PLANNING SCHEME 2015 Type of Report: Committee Council: 3 December 2018 Expiry Date: 27 December 2018 Application No: PLN­18­261 Address: 18 MCKELLAR STREET , SOUTH HOBART 46 ­ 48 MOLLE STREET , WEST HOBART ADJACENT ROAD RESERVE Applicant: Simon Munn (City of Hobart) 16 Elizabeth Street Proposal: Path Extension and Associated Works and Landscaping Representations: Three (3) Performance criteria: Historic Heritage Code 1. Executive Summary 1.1 Planning approval is sought for Path Extension and Associated Works and Landscaping. Page: 1 of 23 1.2 More specifically the proposal involves the following: The Hobart Rivulet Path currently extends west from the carpark at 40­44 Molle Street through Council­owned parkland known as 46­48 Molle Street towards the eastern end of McKellar Street. In the vicinity of the eastern end of McKellar Street the path splits ­ a short, relatively steep section of path rises to meet the end of McKellar Street, providing access through to South Hobart, while a flat, dead­end section of path leads to the Korean Grove Memorial. Currently, people visiting the Korean Grove Memorial but wanting to reach South Hobart need to retrace their steps along the dead­end section of path before rejoining the main Rivulet Path which turns back along McKellar Street. Also, the McKellar Street section of the Hobart Rivulet Path is currently in the form of a narrow, gravel foothpath beside the asphalt street. The proposal is to extend the Hobart Rivulet Path through 18 McKellar Street to Gore Street, so that a continuous pedestrian and bicycle link is formed.

  • Anzac Day 2019 Service Speech by Her Excellency Professor the Honourable Kate Warner Ac Governor of Tasmania Hobart Cenotaph, Thursday 25 April 2019
    1 ANZAC DAY 2019 SERVICE SPEECH BY HER EXCELLENCY PROFESSOR THE HONOURABLE KATE WARNER AC GOVERNOR OF TASMANIA HOBART CENOTAPH, THURSDAY 25 APRIL 2019 I begin by paying my respects to the traditional and original owners of this land: the palawa people. I acknowledge the contemporary Tasmanian Aboriginal community, who have survived invasion and dispossession, and continue to maintain their identity, culture and Indigenous rights. Just over three weeks ago on Sunday 31st March, the Bridge of Remembrance, which links the Cenotaph with the Soldiers Memorial Walk on the Domain, was opened. This Centenary of Anzac Day project is be a lasting memory of the 15,000 Tasmanians who enlisted during the First World War, the 2,500 who died as well as all Australians who served during World War I. A central feature of the ceremony was a smoking ceremony and three Indigenous dances. Speaking at the opening, the Minister for Veteran Affairs the Honourable Darren Chester MP, noted that we should remember the Indigenous Australians who served in World War 1 at a time when they were ineligible to vote. The Centenary of Anzac Day with its particular focus on World War 1 provided an opportunity to consider more broadly the effects of war and the contributions and suffering of those who have not always been specifically and sufficiently acknowledged. The contribution of women, for example, and the different ethnic groupings within the Australian imperial force. The Anzac tradition has been increasingly embraced by contemporary Australians but it is a tradition from which our country’s Indigenous people have felt excluded.1 It is pleasing that there have been attempts to address this.

  • Anzac Day 25 April 2021
    ANZAC DAY 25 APRIL 2021 WE WILL REMEMBER THEM During World War One 416,809 Australians enlisted to serve - many never returned.

This year is the first ANZAC Day where we recognise Tasmania’s most recent Victoria Cross recipient, Ordinary Seaman Edward “Teddy” Sheean.

He had heard that his son, Stan, had been killed at Gallipoli while storming Turkish trenches. “The suspense”, he said, “is awful”. In fact Stan survived Gallipoli and served on the Western Front where he wrote home from Pozières in August 1916 that “it was a particular Hell”. Two weeks later he was dead, killed in the battle of Mouquet Farm, at Pozières. The Suspense is Awful exhibition at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) examines the war’s impact on Tasmanians during and after the war.
