Good riddance Gunns. Gunns go off-finally; they were butchers!
If a company resorts to mining our forests and slaughtering our wildlife, all to send our old growth Regnans to China and Japan in order to pulp them for lavatory paper, it deserves to go under. This was a nineteen fifties industry which simply failed to understand the world of 2012.
on a different but still very serious note
what does tassie do next?
it is world class place – i visit several times a year, my eldest daughter lives in hobart (out of choice, as we live in Qld) and we hold property there – but it is missing gravitas
it should one of THE foodie places in the world, a must see on the baby boomers bucket list – aging yanks go to NZ, so why not Tassie too?
maybe with Gunn’s gone it will lift the tassie spirit and things will get moving, even the annual population growth has dropped to a paltry 1k last year – barely enough to fill MONA on a single wet afternoon
An abiding memory of Hobart ( on six or seven visits), is a bizarre number of huge logging trucks which seemed to need to come through the centre of town. I always wondered if this was some kind of propaganda act.

September 26, 2012 at 3:24 pmThis reminded me of your easter 2010 cartoon about the Tamar Valley. I tear up just thinking about it.
Good riddance indeed.

Warning – you may not want to read this.
Its a link I found when I saw First’s reference to poison carrots and so I did some googling.
