The sun was out and when I looked in one direction, the sky was cloudlessly blue. Stunning! The high plateau of Kenmore Hill was high above the opposite side of the Derwent River.
The views were green and rural and the Derwent River ran at the bottom of this hill.
This farm was very inviting with only a few house animals – walking in the shadows of the tall gum and wattle trees on the river banks could have been a pleasure. On this property stood a sign alerting me to danger: Trespassers will be shot. So as delightful as walking the river bank might have been, I chose to keep away.
Do you remember the crocoite mine down the West Coast with a sign saying similar to ‘trespasses shot’? And down you drove the winding zig zag road with Jon sitting up beside you? Can’t remember why you turned back. I was a scaredty cat and stayed out.

Young and foolish I must have been. I have no memory of this.

I like your photo of the rickety fence. But what a sign.

A sign that signals a very different part of our world.
