Alive threatens race record in Launceston to Hobart 28 December 2020
Alive, skippered by Duncan Hine, is leading the TasPorts Launceston to Hobart Yacht Race (L2H) on line honours. A late entry in the race,
Alive, a Reichel-Pugh 66 sailed by a Tasmanian crew pulled together from some of the boat’s regulars when in Hobart, was the first boat to Low Head, and is expected to break the race record of 1 day 09 hours 33 minutes and 58 seconds, which was set in 2009.
It was a tough start for the 31-boat fleet which started the race in very light conditions at Inspection Head, Beauty Point, on the Tamar River, at 1130 today.
Fire destroyed a shed in Cullen St, Nimbin early Sunday morning. The structure was all that remained of the Nimbin Museum after a fire in 2014.
It took a long six years, but a future for Nimbin’s old museum site was secured with a Lismore City Council decision in September.
The Nimbin Museum, on Cullen St, burnt to the ground on August 14, 2014.
After a convoluted process, Lismore City Council granted deferred commencement consent to developers with a new vision for the site.
The plan involves retail shops, take away food and drink premises, a 12-seat cafe and a medical centre.
