Astute readers will have noticed the change in focus of the blog from, well, all kinds of things, to mostly reviews of cafes. This is intended to be a short diversion rather than a permanent change.

trip to hobart
bus stop sign Originally uploaded by cafedave. My sister and I spent Saturday in Hobart. It’s a great city – more relaxed and less polluted than Sydney; surrounded by trees the way Canberra is, but on the water (the Derwent River).

Balmoral beach
Balmoral beach Originally uploaded by cafedave. As you’d expect from a mobile phone camera, there are a few problems with the photo: just wanted to share with you a sense of the peace and beauty in the world at 6:30am: this is where I run on Wednesday mornings, if I can get up in time.

Both approaches have their problems: some conflicts are so significant that they can’t be avoided, while others are so inflammatory that to try and solve them immediately would only make the situation worse.
