This morning, I went for a walk along one of the rivulets that flow down from Mount Wellington. Two hundred years ago, these streams provided fresh water to the new settlement of Hobart, although they gradually became polluted by industry and the growing population. Today they are public spaces with walking tracks.

New Town Rivulet has a couple of interesting sculptures representing local flora and fauna.

 

I wonder how long this bench has been along this track? How many people of rested here?
