Extinct view up Warwick Street Hobart as captured on a cheap camera last century as a man made his way up Murray Street one sunny day on his way home. A most opportune photo.

Sandy Point Beach late march 2007.
Here noone talks of the blackfellas (except as a footnote in a brochure) who to my eyes are not to be seen here anymore. One of the place’s extinct species.

With fearless warriors Windshuttle and Bolt at the fore soon the blackfella’s sad fate will be mentioned no more.
