Sadly another Tasmanian bushwalking legend has passed.
David joined the Launceston walking club around 1950,
David walked with Kieth Lancaster & my father on many trips.
David held various positions with the LWC, including president.
He was awarded life membership in 1963.
I had the pleasure of knowing David through the Friends of Cradle meetings.
David's funeral is on Saturday at 11:00am
At 117 Forbes St Devonport.
Sympathy to Fran, Libby, John & family.

Dave Pinkard was one of the "legends" of Tasmanian bushwalking, and this tribute to him was published in the Launceston Walking Club's Winter-Spring LANGANA magazine.

Thanks for posting.
And he sees the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended,
And at night the wondrous glory of the everlasting stars.
And at night the wondrous glory of the everlasting stars.
