“As I fly back into Launceton from trips away I have seen the floods around the South Esk, dramatic rays of evening sun through heavy clouds over the Western Tier, and the snows on Ben Lomond, and rejoice that I can continue to live close to the land and sea in a place away from urban sprawl. Yet I am proud to be part of the Australian Maritime College and the University of Tasmania, bringing it’s economic benefits to Launceston while stretching it’s traditions, even complacency, through its rapidly growing international acclaim, students, personnel and awareness.”
