I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral...

I will give you one thing, you certainly make the most of the snow while it is around. I hope the kids appreciate it.
Magpie, Hobart has a mild temperate oceanic climate. Hobart itself rarely has snow, but you may have noted that the skyline is dominated by Mount Wellington, which is 1,271 metres high. The Mountain often has a snowcap in winter, and unseasonal mountain snow covering is not uncommon.
By and large, the snow we see on Mount Wellington is due to cold air masses arriving from Antarctica coupled with them resting at higher altitude. Hence, it can get pretty chilly up there. On Sunday though, there was no wind and it was actually quite pleasant.
Just a little useless information I garnered somewhere.
