Tulip festival
This weekend is always a big one - the Tulip Festival at the Royal Hobart Botanical Gardens.
Last year the entry fee was a gold coin donation. I managed to get in at the bottom gate early and didn't have to pay.
This year the entry is $10!!! What a shock! A disgrace! The rumour is they have hired security guards to stop people using the get in early strategy.
What the Gardens have forgotten is that I will be leaving work early today at 3:30pm and going then. As there will be no security guards around it is also a lot easier to take a few samples. Ans I will be saving $10 so a good end to the week.

I also find Tulip festival good value: as you are required to tiptoe through it you only need half a shoe on each foot, which you can easily find at the tip for free (if you're prepared to climb the fence on the Lenah Valley side).
You are on the right wavelength there Dougal.
Tulip Festival only means one thing in Hobart - grazier alerts and a coastal gale force wind warning.
