SPINNINGtime
in Ross
Ross being
on the Tasmanian equator – half way between Tasmania's
North and South –every Australia Day Guild members
gather in Ross. They meet old friends, do a bit of spinning,
have a bit of a chat, show something and tell how, swap some
notes and possibly the odd recipe or three – pickles,
biscuits and other things. In 2006 it was a hottish day
in Ross – sun hats and sandal weather. There was
actually a smoke haze hanging over the landscape thanks to a
strong northerly blowing smoke down to Tasmania from the bush
fires in Victoria. Nonetheless, it was a pleasant day despite
all of that.
Ross was
full of tourists. Many of them stopped to watch and ask some
delving questions about all this spinning and other activity
that they'd accidentally happened upon and that wasn't in their
tourists' guidebook– most of it to do with somewhat
cooler weather. And, apart from that, and as usual, The
Bothwell SPINin & spinOUT was on the
agenda as expected.
The images
below were taken at random but unsurprisingly they not only
have something to say about Australia Day in Ross but a little
bit about Bothwell's SPINin as well.
