Boundary walk

1. 01 · Glen Dhu

   06:55

   Oval frost, Glen Dhu

   The oval holds a thin frost in the shadow of the stand. Close enough to the 7250 line that river fog sometimes reaches this far south and stops.

2. 02 · South Launceston

   10:05

   Wellington Street, south of the core

   You can still see the post office hill from the rise, then the houses take it. This is the first block that no longer feels like 7250.

   06:12

   Fog on the suspension bridge

   South-wall lights are the only hard edges. The pool stays a flat grey until the first chairlift cabin comes over the ridge.

4. 04 · Civic

   07:05

   Brisbane Street before the shutters

   The quadrant is still wet. A delivery van idles on St John with the hazards reflecting in the sandstone. The coffee queue has not started.

5. 05 · Kings Meadows

   05:48

   Kings Meadows, lights still on

   The car park is mostly empty. A freight truck takes Hobart Road without slowing. The ground is hard, not frozen — just unwilling.

6. 06 · City Park

   07:40

   City Park, gates just open

   Paths stay dark where the oaks meet. Conservatory glass is fogged from the inside. Nothing loud yet. Only the hose on the far bed.

   3.90 km from you · 7250 core · N 354°

7. 07 · Seaport

   09:20

   Boardwalk at slack water

   The river is holding the boats still. A low fog sits between the apartments and the silos and does not lift when the sun hits the glass.

8. 08 · Trevallyn

   08:10

   Wind on the dam wall

   The South Esk is loud below the wall and quiet on top. Walkers take the gorge track down and come back colder than they left.

9. 09 · Riverside

   11:15

   Riverside, west bank

   The Tamar is wider here and slower. Jetties tick in the wind. The city is a low mark upriver, not a skyline.

10. 10 · Hadspen

    Yesterday

    South Esk at the bridge

    The highway crosses brown water. Willows on the bank. Launceston sits north-east of here and already outside the core.

11. 11 · Legana

    Yesterday

    Orchard wind, Legana

    The river is a pale strip beyond the shelter belts. Traffic on the West Tamar is the only clock. Too far for the 7250 fog.

12. 12 · Evandale

    Overnight

    Open paddocks, Evandale

    Frost sits in the hollows longer than it does in town. Airport lights are a thin band to the north-west. Weather is the only thing shared with 7250.

    13.9 km from you · Tamar · SE 144°

13. 13 · Low Head

    Overnight

    Low Head, river mouth

    The light is working. The Tamar finally meets open water. Launceston is a long way upriver, and the 7250 boundary does not reach this air.

14. 14 · Ben Lomond

    Overnight

    Ben Lomond road, above the cloud

    The plateau is a different season. If the city is in fog, this is the top of it. The feed should almost forget this place unless the walk is pulled this far out.
