[UPDATED] A message from Tasmania Police

[doogs]

This is from a walk up towards Liffey Falls on the weekend, with my kids, my youngest being 18mo. I thought it kind of goes well in this thread. If you start them early enough it just becomes natural, plus brainwashing them with sea kayak and bushwalking movies helps a lot too

I think I passed you on the track on Saturday, I left my kids at home and took my visiting mother instead. When I saw your kids I wish I had brought mine too as the track was in much better condition after the rain than I had anticipated. Do I now have to post a picture of 'granny' and ask to start a thread on 'pensioners in the bush'?

Info and discussions on wheelchair accessible tracks will be needed by all of us one day, so it's good planning by the forum to cater for this demand in advance.

You had the walking poles?

Definitely a place for a pensioner thread.

No, I probably looked like I was on the way to the shops to buy a pint of milk (Jeans and T-shirt)

Yes Doogs as long as she is cool with it some of us Bushwalking pensioners may like to see what 'granny' looks like and by all means start a 'pensioner in the bush thread' you may well just pick up a tip or three

To twist the discussion for a moment (before probably editing and deleting the twist), is there a need for a topic, perhaps in the Gallery section, where I can call it something like "Kids in the bush" - people can post their photos like the examples above (which I would split in order to start the topic), and it might inspire others...

Great idea!
It's an important topic and well worth sharing.
