k/GT MTB link trail completed

 The Kinmathatakinta/George Town mountain bike link trail is now completed. In addition to the York Cove to Agnes St rivulet path, a trail has been forged through the trees in the Alfred St. right-of-way (which , although a declared road, had been overgrown for decades). A set of large pipes make a crossing across the small creek that used to cut across the "roadway". You can now ride from the centre of town, at the rusty pelican for example, to the trail head without going on the main road in/out of GT.

Bass and Flinders Shanty Singers reformed as SEMAPHORE

The title says it all really, George Town's B&F Shanty Singers will now continue as SEMAPHORE. They are going to expand their repertoire to include non-nautical songs of any genre. They have a blog at https://semaphore-tamar.blogspot.com , which says they will meet at the B&F Bowls Club in Low Head (instead of the B&F Museum in GT).
