| Scanning the horizon. |
Ben's been in Tassie for two hundred and sixty days. Today he rides a fully-loaded bike from Launceston to Devonport, boards the boat and sails overnight back to Melbourne. The bike couldn't carry all his belongings; there are items left behind in Weldborough, stored in a spare room thanks to the generosity of one of the locals. So, did he find clean air? The answer is 'yes', however Tasmanians frequently spoil it with wood smoke. Did his health improve? That's a clear 'yes', the difference between a year ago and now is wonderful to see. What happens next? Ben will stay at "the farm", near Benalla, and then accompany mum on a trip to Vietnam. That's as far as the event horizon goes and timeframes are uncertain. Will Ben return to Tasmania? Maybe. It's certainly a great place but he tells me that there are other great places to be discovered.
