Where i park my car when i drive on a workday has a million dollar view and yet it costs nothingwith views up and down the Derwent and of Macquarie Wharf. Like me a lot of drivers take advantage of the free parking at the Hobart Regatta Grounds although depending where you go it can be a little bit bumpy, ok for my 4WD but no so good for a small car.

I was there this morning around 7.40am and now that it is Autumn dawn is later and dusk sooner too so i could see the last traces of the sunrise in the sky. It doesn’t look that great a day but at the time i parked the car it was around 23 degrees C (73 F) and our maximum tempreture today was 37.3 degrees C (99 F), the hottest day of the year. Shame it took until Autumn to get it!
