Buttongrass: A Walker's History

Postby whynotwalk » Wed 22 Dec, 2010 2:57 pm

Love or hate buttongrass, it's hard to avoid in Tassie! To help you prepare for some summer exposure to it I've posted a long piece on my blog at: http://auntyscuttle.blogspot.com/2010/1 ... -next.html

Happy Christmas reading

Peter

Great read Peter. Love the games. Reminds me of the episode of F-Troop where the chief told the story of how the Hecowie tribe got their name. The chief lead the tribe over a cliff one dark night and woke up next morning and asked "Where the Heckarwee?'
