Hey Everyone!
Lee Cossey is coming to speak in Hobart on the 25th of May at Hadley's Hotel @ 7pm. ($20)
Not every day you get a world-class climber coming to SLOWBART!!!!!!
If you have no plans, it would be great to see you there, and show your support to Australian climbing!
He is also doing a climbing workshop on the 24th of May at the climbing edge. (see poster below)
Cheers
Jake

From Michael Easton at the Park Trust:
Hi,
as a person who has dealings with Wellington Park, I thought you might be interested in the development of a sustainable transport system for access to the Mountain.
As a first step, the Trust is calling for ideas from the community as to what transport options/modes might make up a broader system.
Please use the following link to obtain the Invitation for Ideas paper released today by the Trust: http://www.wellingtonpark.tas.gov.au/STS
The Trust will receive written or emailed submissions until 12 June 2009.

There is an article in the Merc today:
A man broke several bones after jumping from a cliff at Coles Bay yesterday.
Tasmania Police said the 23-year old tried to jump from a cliff into the water at White Water Wall. The man jumped 18m, hit a rock and fell into the water.
The Police Westpac Rescue Helicopter was called about 4.20pm.
A paramedic and police rescue crew were lowered to the scene and treated the man before winching him into the helicopter.
Police said the after-dark rescue was only possible because of new night-vision goggles. The man is in the Royal Hobart Hospital in a serious condition.
Anyone got any details? Was it a climber?

Well thought it was worth a shot, you never know.
I have been in Tasmania about 5 months but would like to stay another 3, based around Launceston at the moment, the catch is I do need to earn a crust at the same time. So if you know of any labouring, hospitality or other casual work on the go, please drop me a line, otherwise I may have to head back to the mainland...
Thanks and have a great day!
