Hobart has some beautiful old seascape locations along its coast . Blackman Bay being one of them. The dawn colour also came out of nowhere which was a pleasant bonus!

"My friend, oh my friend, I’m sick to the end
I don’t know from where it came, all this pain
Maybe, with wind whistling through barren land
Maybe, as groves wilt in the fall,
Alcohol withers my brain."
I was just wrapping up after a 2 hour walk around and this young man pulled up on his bike, finished the day off nicely!
Blackman Bay from the little bridge over Sedbury Creek on the Marion Bay Road causeway.
Mt. Forestier (317m) on the opposite skyline.
Oppressive overcast, very calm, very, very still. About all I could hear was the faint susurrus of the scum-covered flood tide creeping around the wooden piles of the bridge below me.

Blackman's Shoe shop, Cheshire Street, London E2, Sunday 18 December 2016.
When I was at secondary school during the mid-1970s I used to go to Blackman's to buy shoes and Doctor Marten boots. They used to sell footwear that you couldn’t get elsewhere at reasonable prices and kids like me used to travel from all over London to visit Blackman’s.
The shop was in Brick Lane back then, and the area was very different to how it is today. Blackman’s is round the corner now, in Cheshire Street. But it’s still one of London’s classic shops.

Travelling the Pacific Highway, as it became named in May 1931, before vital bridges were constructed across the many large rivers along its East Coast route, was once a very slow and often circuitous journey.
In the days before the second world war punts (or ferries) were the only way of travelling by car up the coast.
One such ferry operated here at Blackmans Point, just down the road from where the famous 'U Pick' Ricardoes Tomato and Strawberry Farm is today.
Before the construction of the Port Macquarie Bypass and the opening in December 1961 of the Dennis Steel Truss Bridge the route to Blackmans Point on the north side of the Hastings River was indeed circuitous taking travellers in to Port Macquarie before travelling out along the southern shore of the Hastings River to a point where a vehicular ferry connected across the river to Blackmans Point on the north side of the Hastings River at its junction with the Maria River.
The Port Macquarie Bypass was able to reduce this often congested route through Port Macquarie from the Oxley Hwy turnoff to Blackmans Point from 22km to just 7 km.
The ferry ramp shown in this photo is the more recent of two ferry ramps located side by side at Blackmans Point.
The older ramp was located right on the point just a few metres to the left of this one and when it fell into disrepair it was abandoned and replaced with this ramp.
Once the Pacific Highway's steel truss Dennis Bridge was opened in December 1961 the ferry service to Blackmans Point was closed and this newer ramp became non functional, although it is used for boat launching these days.
While the Dennis steel truss bridge continues to service local traffic on 17 November 2017 a new bridge carrying the Pacific Highway across the Hastings River officially opened to traffic.
Located to the west of the Dennis Bridge, the new concrete span bridge was part of the 18 km long Oxley Highway to Kundabung upgrade.
The only remaining vehicular ferries operating on the Hastings River today are the Settlement Point and Hibbard Ferries.
Derivation of the Name Blackmans Point
Point on the northern side of the Hastings River,
immediately west of the junction of the Maria river- the
place where John Oxley saw natives in 1818? Mentioned in
Place of Banishment P/39, Hist of Port M P/21, 22. Dorothy
Edmunds says it was Black Mans Point- E.A. Mowle says it
was named after one of Oxley’s party (no Blackman in
party?) Reference
