http://thehobartchronicles.blogspot.com/2008/04/hobart-chronicles-xxxv-run-through.html
Monday, April 07, 2008. The Hobart Chronicles XXXV: Run Through The Jungle. Whoa, thought it was a nightmare,. Lo, it's all so true,. They told me, "Don't go walkin' slow. Cause Devil's on the loose.". Creedence Clearwater Revival,. Run Through The Jungle. One of the great joys of Tasnarnia is the great outdoors. Great. Instead we began another walk down a little lower, along a more sheltered route, and to begin with it was quite pleasant. But somehow, what started out as a well-marked side track via...

The Hobart Chronicles: The Hobart Chronicles XXXIII: In The Navy
http://thehobartchronicles.blogspot.com/2008/02/hobart-chronicles-xxxii-in-navy.html
Thursday, February 21, 2008. The Hobart Chronicles XXXIII: In The Navy. What am I going to do in a submarine? Did you have any idea that the first of the Royal Australian Navy's Collins Class submarine fleet, HMAS Collins, was named after a Tasnarnian? Well, there you go. Fill in your own pejorative of choice]. How could I refuse to do my professional duty? It was a chill Slobart [summer] wind racing across the deck after sundown that finally chased us off the frigate and back to our homes, while the boy...

The Hobart Chronicles: The Hobart Chronicles: Interval
http://thehobartchronicles.blogspot.com/2008/05/hobart-chronicles-interval.html
Sunday, May 04, 2008. The Hobart Chronicles: Interval. There was movement at the station, for the word had got around. That the dolt, with some regrets, will get away. Yeah, I know it's bad to mangle Banjo, and that counts as pretty bad mangling even by the lowest standards. It does signify, however, that this columnist is about to quit Tasnarnia for the even less balmy climes of Canberra. The pertinent question has already been posed: will The Hobart Chronicles have to change its name? Don't get dizzy d...

The Hobart Chronicles: The Hobart Chronicles XXXVI: Beautiful People
http://thehobartchronicles.blogspot.com/2008/04/hobart-chronicles-xxxvi.html
Sunday, April 27, 2008. The Hobart Chronicles XXXVI: Beautiful People. They haven't really much to say. Australian Crawl, Beautiful People. What a cheap tent show. Australian Crawl, The Boys Light Up. There is something both satisfying and disturbing about having a set of inner - and irrational - prejudices confirmed as true. An infinitely more tolerant and enlightened individual these days (ahem) I truly hoped I might appreciate the place from a whole new perspective this weekend. And really, you just c...

The Hobart Chronicles: The Hobart Chronicles XXXIV: Planet Earth Is Blue
http://thehobartchronicles.blogspot.com/2008/03/hobart-chronicles-xxxiv-planet-earth-is.html
Thursday, March 13, 2008. The Hobart Chronicles XXXIV: Planet Earth Is Blue. For here am I sitting in a tin can. Far above the world. Planet Earth is blue. I have a new crush. His name is Mike Collins. I saw him at the movies last week. He's witty! He's also a bit out of my reach, being the third member of the Apollo 11 mission, and thus a retired US astronaut. Go have a look at the doco. In The Shadow Of The Moon. Not long ago I was invited to a gathering at a farming property on Bruny Island, where the...

The Hobart Chronicles: The Hobart Chronicles XXXVII: So long, farewell
http://thehobartchronicles.blogspot.com/2008/05/hobart-chronicles-xxxvii-so-long.html
Sunday, May 18, 2008. The Hobart Chronicles XXXVII: So long, farewell. The lights of Devonport are fading. Weddings Parties Anything,. Hasta la vista, hasta manana til we meet again. so many movies and songs, and I can't remember the last line of the Weddos song that actually deals with sailing away from Devonport. I'll fix it later. Har har. After all, it was a VERY big space I'd been assigned. I got out and that's when it dawned on me: every other vehicle in that hold was a very large 4WD, a 1-...Arriv...

The Hobart Chronicles: The Hobart Chronicles XXXVIII: Off To See The Wizard
http://thehobartchronicles.blogspot.com/2008/06/hobart-chronicles-xxxviii-off-to-see.html
Sunday, June 22, 2008. The Hobart Chronicles XXXVIII: Off To See The Wizard. Ok, I've finally made my mind up. Thank you for your help and suggestions - it was a hard decision. Was sharp and pithy - an absolute joy, and far too witty for me. You'll have to cast your pearls before a better class of swine, Cellobella! A Long Way From The Beach. But it had too many end-of-the-the-world, Neville Shute connotations. Damian's. West of Sydney, North of Melbourne. Pun was good - I've also heard and enjoyed.
