Mount Wellington

And shout out to John, actually, for driving four hours down to come and see me.

And he drove me up Mount Wellington.

I have incredible photos from the top there.

And it was just the most beautiful experience.

Thanks, James.

That is, of course, Metro getting us safely from the top of Mount Wellington, Kanani, down to Rest Point for the Point to Pinnacle.

The event kicked off on the Friday afternoon with a mystery bus tour followed by a networking barbecue at the Reist Club Rooms at the Queen's Domain in Hobart.

Sunday afternoon saw two events outside, firstly a SOTA activation at Mount Wellington and a concurrent event at the Club Rooms with a demonstration of equipment on 23cm and above.

It was a great weekend and so nice to interact with so many WIA members that were in attendance.

My congratulations to the team at Reist for putting together such a fantastic event.

Back home now, and if you woke up yesterday thinking it was July, you wouldn't be alone as the southeast of the country copped snow in a late spring cold snap.

Parts of New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania were blanketed in the white stuff on Saturday night and yesterday, with falls recorded at Mount Hotham, Perisher, Thredbo and Kingston and Kunanyi in Hobart.

Yes, it was all thanks to a weather system which moved north from Antarctica with feels like temps, that's the apparent temperature, plummeting to 13 degrees or lower in Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra and Hobart on Sunday.

It will likely be the last cold snap of the year.

It was beautiful music.

And this is out looking up Mount Wellington outside Casco Brewery.

Yeah.

And then I had this vision just pop into my head of me being on an ocean with something made out of rubbish.
