If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

Hobart snaps « Previous | |Next »
August 24, 2007

I went wandering around Hobart town with a tourist map in my pocket after work with a camera. I had a lovely time. Hobart is a very beautiful city with its own island dynamic and street knowledge that life is more than work.

Canberra seems a long way away here. Unlike Canberra people respond and interact with you if you want it. A smile instead of indifference and disdain. Life is more leisurely here. People enjoy themselves as people not just as workers living a life on the margins of work.

The city was dominated by cars and trucks. There has been little attempt to roll back the car to let people wander. I kept on thinking of all the air pollution in the city. Surely the traffic can be directed to ring roads?
