The view towards Melbourne. The scenery atop the Nut. Stanley, Tasmania's North West Coast. February 2012.
If you've ever been to the small seaside town of Stanley, you'll be familiar with The Nut. One of the more distinctive landmarks in Tasmania, The Nut is an old volcanic plug with steep sides that rises up to 143 metres with a remarkably flat top. As you can see, it is possible to walk to the top of The Nut via a steep track (even for a three-year-old). For weaklings and nancies, there is the option of a chairlift...

Now, a poem...
The Red Wheelbarrow, William Carlos Williams
so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.

Obviously you shot ahead a few paces to get the picture.
It's good for the kids to walk.
Sue, you need to stop and climb the bugger next time!
Carola, I can't complain about my two. They walk a LOT more than most of their peers. They rarely complain. They'll thank us some day!
