TASSIE’S 1/4 TOUR

29 AUGUST - 20 SEPTEMBER 2020

In support of the Ten Lives Building Project Fundraiser:

Every cat deserves a chance at a happy, healthy life. For tens of thousands of lost and homeless cats in our community over the last seven decades, that chance begins at Ten Lives.The Ten Lives Cat Centre at Selfs Point Road is a critically needed local resource for Tasmania that has served our cats and the community well since 2006.Ten Lives is saving more cats and kittens than ever before and limitations of an aging, inadequate facility doesn’t meet the demands of providing the best possible care for our cats, or ensuring the staff and volunteers have a safe, supportive and comfortable environment to do their vital work.By building a modern shelter facility, the benefits to both cats and people are clear: more lives will be saved; the number of homeless and abandoned cats will be reduced; and most of all this project will change the landscape of animal welfare within our community and the way we look after our people.

It’s that important.

We invite you to learn more about this project and join us in making a difference that they can COUNT ON - read all about our Building Project in the Spring 2020 Edition of the Scratching Post (available on our website or drop in to the Centre at 12 Selfs Point Road to grab your copy!)

“This is the most significant project Ten Lives has taken on in its 70 years history and it will completely change our ability to care for cats, our people and the environment. Our current premises have served our cats and the community well, but are now seriously inadequate for us to do our work.” - David Rees, Ten Lives President

The ¼ Tour de France is a cycling adventure by the President of Ten Lives and hopefully some loyal supporters around Southern Tasmania aimed to match the real Tour de France, except doing only ¼ of the distance, with some exceptions. The Tour takes in all places from where Ten Lives receives lost and abandoned cats and goes some way in demonstrating the reach of Ten Lives (over 1,000 kms).Like the real tour, the ¼ Tour will have 21 Stages and will take place over 3 weeks from Saturday 29 August 2020 and finishing with a sprint on our version of the Paris Champs Elysee, being along Charles Street next to the public park at Orford on Sunday 20 September. It will scale Mount Wellington, go to Huonville, Lauderdale and Granton and everywhere else in between. It will visit the Ten Lives Margate Op Shop, and naturally have a stage leaving and finishing at Ten Lives at Selfs Point.

If the Tour can save the life of one cat, it will be more than worth it!

WELCOME, FROM DAVID REES

We’re building them a brighter future...

“We have always had the support of the community and as part of my commitment to Ten Lives I am taking the Tour de Ten Lives challenge to get stuck in to help Ten Lives get set for the next 20 years of helping cats, the community and our environment.” - David Rees, Ten Lives President

The 2020 1/4 tour starts Saturday 29 August with an unconventional stage, formed by 3 loops. The stage starts outside the Blue Strawberry Takeaway in the Lower Sandy Bay car park. The first two identical loops take you right, along flat Sandy Bay Road past “My Ride” then left up the short sharp hill of Byron Street, onto Molle Street and then left up the rivulet track to South Hobart, and an anti-clockwise circumnavigation of the Historic Woman’s Prison on Syme Street and Degraves Street, returning by Cascade Road/ Macquarie Street. Turn right into Antill Street which leads into Regent Street and Churchill Avenue. This undulating course passes the University of Tasmania and Alexander Battery before turning left onto Sandy Bay Road and continuing for the second loop.The last loop follows the same course up Bryon Street, but turns left into leafy Fitzroy Place past all the historic houses, then left again into Regent Street, past the University of Tasmania and then turning left down Nelson Road and right onto Sandy Bay Road and returning to the start line at the Lower Sandy Bay car park.

10am Start: Long Beach Lower Sandy Bay > Long Beach, Lower Sandy Bay (39kms)

STAGE 1 - TEN LIVES STATS: No. of Cats surrendered from suburbs on route: 253

No. of Cats adopted to suburbs on route: 279

DID YOU KNOW: The Cascades Female Factory in South Hobart is a former Australian workhouse for female convicts in the penal colony of Van Diemen’s Land. Operational between 1828 and 1856, the factory is now one of the 11 sites that collectively comprise the Australian Convict Sites, listed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO. Representing the female experience, the Cascades Female Factory demonstrates how penal transportation was used to expand Britain’s spheres of influence, as well as to punish and reform female convicts. (Wikipedia)South Hobart is also the original location for the Hobart Cat Centre, now known as Ten Lives.

The second stage is the hilly Tinderbox loop. The start is again outside the Blue Strawberry Takeaway at Lower Sandy Bay. Turn left onto Sandy Bay Road and ride down the Channel Highway over the Bonnet, turning left down Beach Road at Kingston to Kingston Beach. Then turn right along the beach past the sailing club and up Mt Royal Road and left onto Roslyn Avenue. Ride through Blackmans Bay and towards Tinderbox for a clockwise loop. The course passes Tinderbox Beach up the hill and onto the gravel, and then turns right onto Brightwater Road, left onto Roslyn Avenue and back down to Kingston Beach via Mount Royal Road. Retrace the trip back over the Bonnet to finish at the start at Lower Sandy Bay. This is a good solid ride with a fair few hills but great scenery.

Stage 3 starts at My Ride, 129 Sandy Bay Road. The course follows Sandy Bay Road towards the city, turning right at Gladstone Street, around the waterfront and onto the Bike Track and out to Cadburys. At Cadburys, do the Cadbury Marathon Loop by going up Cadbury Road, turn left on Somerdale, right on Mitcham, left on Keynsham, right on Moreton, up Mitcham and left on Bournville Crescent before returning towards the city via Cadbury Road. Turn left for a lap around Windermere Primary School car park before another left back onto Cadbury Road and another left onto Main Road to continue the Cadbury Marathon course past the Granada Tavern and MONA. to Strathaven Drive. Follow the bike track past Rosetta High School, the Montrose Bay sailing club and around the waterfront past the Derwent Entertainment Centre to Loyd Lane and then left onto Goodwood Road and across the Bowen Bridge on the bike lane on the north side. Do a u-turn at the end of the bridge and retrace the course back to the Bike Track entrance at Berridale just past the Granada Tavern. Return on the Bike track by the same route to the finish at My Ride.

6pm Start: My Ride > Cadbury > Bowen Bridge > Sandy Bay (49.5kms)

DID YOU KNOW: In the early 1800’s Joshua Fergusson, who lived on the land just above the beach, saw a business opportunity and planted tobacco here with a view to supplying the local pipe smokers. One day he found a silver tinderbox inscribed in French, an indication that some thirty years before early French expeditioners had visited this beach. Maybe this tinderbox slipped out of someone’s pocket? There’s also a chance that it had been traded or had washed ashore. Regardless, it’s owner sailed home to France but the tinderbox remained in Van Diemen’s Land. One day Joshua Ferguson came and picked it up, and thought, ‘I know – I’ll name this beach after it.’ (Wikipedia)

DID YOU KNOW: Cadbury’s Chocolate Factory is a working chocolate factory belonging to the Australian division of international confectionery company Cadbury (a division of Mondelez International), and is located in Claremont, Tasmania. Despite being an active production facility, Cadbury’s Claremont has a rich history with 18 heritage listed buildings on the site. The factory still features pure granite “conching” machines which are over 60 years old but are still in use. Due to its long history, and the general appeal of chocolate, the factory was a major Tasmanian tourism attraction for families until its on-site visitor centre closed in 2015. (Wikipedia)

Stage 4 starts from Osborne Street (across Sandy Bay Road from My Ride). Turn right into Quayle Street and ride to the end then cross the bridge onto Marieville Esplanade. Then turn left on Sandy Bay Road and continue to Lower Sandy Bay turning left onto Long Point Road, then quickly left onto Sandown Avenue, and left again onto Elma Road, right onto Nutgrove Avenue, right onto Beachworth Road, and then right onto Sandown Avenue (ie do the block) then turn left back onto Long Point Road, right onto Beach Road, and right onto the promenade next to the beach and exit near the wood fire pizza and back onto Sandy Bay Road heading south. If that hasn’t confused you, you then ride up Bonnet Hill past the iconic Shot Tower and down into Kingston. At the first traffic lights turn left into Beach Road, down to the water and left onto Osborne Esplanade past the cafes to the end and left into Balmoral Road. Follow Balmoral Road around past the golf course and Browns river, turn left back down Beach Road, then the first left into Windsor Street, then right at the end down Balmoral Road, and continue round to the right along the beach along Osbourne Esplanade to the end of the beach past the sailing club.

Follow Sandy Bay Road towards the city and turn right on St Georges Terrace, left at Colville Street, right on Hampton Road, past Salamanca Place, around the waterfront and onto the bike track and over the bridge by the southern (city) side. Then head south around the water along Rosny Esplanade, right at Bastick Street, turn down into Rosny College leaving it on your left, around Bellerive Bluff along Victoria Esplanade, past the Bellerive Cricket Oval, along the bike track and then onto Alexander Esplanade, left on Wentworth street leaving Clarence High School on your right, right onto Clarence Street, turn on the first right on Silwood Avenue and return to the bike track behind Howrah Beach. Exit right onto Howrah Road, which becomes Tranmere Road to the end, then turn right onto Oceania Drive to the very end and return the same way, but this time cut across Bellerive Bluff at Queen Street, around Rosny and under the Bridge and along the foreshore on the bike track to Anzac Park in Lindisfarne. Return the same way, crossing the Bridge on the north side, and return to My Ride by the same route. This is mostly flat with one or two short sharp hills, and a very pleasant ride down to Tranmere.

DID YOU KNOW: Kingston has close ties with the Dutch community, where after 1950 many post-war immigrants moved to an area they called ‘Little Groningen’ (today Firthside). The Kingston Dutch community were primarily members of the Christian Reformed Churches of Australia, which they set up the local church of in 1952. Calvin Christian School was founded by the Dutch community in 1962.Kingston was named by the Best Suburb 2014 in Australia for families by Aussie Home Loans in their annual study of 3800 Australian towns.(Wikipedia)

DID YOU KNOW: The suburb of Lindisfarne originally took its name from Lindisferne House, (Note: Suburb originally spelt incorrectly), a property built in the 1820’s near the suburb of Rosny. At one time the suburb was known as Beltana from 1892, but, because of confusion with Bellerive, it was renamed Lindisfarne in 1903 after Lindisfarne a tidal Island (Holy Island) in Northumberland, England. The easternmost part of the middle of the suburb, where the Beltana Bowls Club and the Beltana Hotel are located, is still locally known as Beltana. (Wikipedia)

DID YOU KNOW: The historic Shot Tower at Taroona was designed and built by Joseph Moir in 1870 in only eight months. One of only three remaining shot towers in Australia, it is incorrectly alleged to be the tallest remaining shot tower in the world and the tallest ever built in the Southern Hemisphere, which is disputed by the Clifton Hill Shot Tower. It is however the sole claimant for the tallest stone shot tower in the Southern Hemisphere and first shot tower in the Southern Hemisphere. For four years it was the tallest building in Australia, and for one hundred years the tallest in Tasmania until it was superseded by the Mount Wellington broadcast tower. (Wikipedia)

DID YOU KNOW: The Cascade Brewery was established in 1824 in South Hobart, Tasmania and is the oldest continually operating brewery in Australia.In 1967 the building housing the brewery was almost completely destroyed by the bushfires that devastated south-east Tasmania. With a rebuild to commence in no time at all, the brewery was back up and running a mere three months later. Cascade is unique among Australian breweries and rare among breweries worldwide in that it operates its own maltings, producing malt for its mainstream beers (including Premium Lager and Pale Ale) from locally grown barley. Specialty malts for dark beers and the seasonal range are imported from mainland Australia and from overseas. (Wikipedia)

DID YOU KNOW: The Huon is both a major agricultural area, particularly famous for growing apples (83% of Tasmanian apples originate in the Valley), but also producing cherries, berries and stone fruit and is home to many commuter workers who work in Hobart or Kingston and prefer to live in a more rural setting. It is also a major source of seafood; the Valley hosts the headquarters of Huon Aquaculture and the major processing plants for Tassal. The largest employers are agriculture, forestry and aquaculture, followed by out of Valley work; Tourism is a growing industry in the Huon Valley, and the valley attracts around 25% of Tasmania’s tourist visitors. (Wikipedia)

DID YOU KNOW: Goulds Lagoon was designated as a wildlife sanctuary in 1938 at the request of the then owner Arthur Gould. It is a particularly important refuge for water birds which use the area for resting, feeding and breeding.A diverse amount of bird species are attracted to the lagoon, including Black Swans, Pelicans, Black Ducks, Chestnut Teals, Purple Swamphens, Egrets, White-faced Herons and Cormorants. Vagrant species, such as Australasian Shovellers, Pink-eared Ducks and Freckled Ducks visit occasionally. (About Tasmania)

6am Start: My Ride > Cadbury Loop > Granton > Black Snake Road > Home (54kms)

DID YOU KNOW: Taroona is an Aboriginal word meaning sea-shell, specifically that of a ‘Chiton’. This district was originally known as Crayfish Point and the diaries of Robert Knopwood contain reference to expeditions to catch crayfish there. The first European settlement at Taroona took place in the early 19th century, when land was granted to settlers who had relocated from Norfolk Island. For the remainder of that century, the area was largely used for farming, and was sparsely populated. In the first half of the 20th century, more large and elegant residences were built, as well as beach shacks and cottages which were used for seaside holidays by the residents of Hobart. (Wikipedia)

DID YOU KNOW: Tasmania is home to 3 species of snakes: the Tiger snake, the Copperhead snake and the White-lipped snake (often referred to as a Whip snake). Like most of Tasmania’s native mammals, birds and reptiles, Tasmanian snakes are protected by law and it is illegal to kill or harm them in any way. Identifying a snake as it slides rapidly away can be difficult. Many people, quite sensibly, don’t want to get too close. The most reliable distinguishing feature is the middle head scale; however, it is not recommended that you get so close as to be able to use this feature! (Wikipedia)

DID YOU KNOW: Our Margate Op Shop is “the little engine that could”! It continues to out-perform all projections. We had an expansion in winter last year and it is doing better than expected. It makes a substantial financial contribution for our organisation to continue its work caring for the cats, generating much needed funds to help us do our work at the Centre. The Margate Op Shop has been a vital part of our organisation since the get-go, has been around in some form or another for 40 years, previously in Blackmans Bay, and it is now very much cemented in the heart of the Margate community.

DID YOU KNOW: TheHobart International Airport is a Federal government owned airport,operated by the Tasmanian Gateway Consortium under a 99-year lease. The airport maintains a conjoined international and domestic terminal. The major airlines servicing the airport are Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin Australia operating domestic flights predominantly to Melbourne and Sydney. Although the airport has not had a regularly scheduled international passenger service since 1998 (to Christchurch, New Zealand), the airport maintains customs and immigration facilities for aircraft entering the country.

There is also a sealed narrow road to the summit, about 22 kilometres from Hobart central business district. An enclosed lookout near the summit has views of the city below and to the east, the Derwent estuary, and also glimpses of the World Heritage Area nearly 100 kilometres west. From Hobart, the most distinctive feature of Mount Wellington is the cliff of dolerite columns known as the Organ Pipes. (Wikipedia)

DID YOU KNOW: Lenah Valley was originally known as Kangaroo Bottom, later Kangaroo Valley. Lenah is the native Aboriginal word for kangaroo.The eastern end of Lenah Valley was first settled near the older area of Mount Stuart. The Newlands manor house was built in the late 1830’s and had surrounding agricultural interest such as orchards. The manor house influenced development of the surrounding area and ensured that quality homes were built in the surrounding area in order to maintain the reputation of the area. James Sherwin established one of Australia’s earliest commercial potteries in 1831 along Pottery Road, Lenah Valley. (Wikipedia)

DID YOU KNOW: Blackmans Bay south of Hobart was named after a James Blackman who occupied land there in the 1820’s. There is a blowhole near the northern end of the beach, which in reality is more like a large rock arch where waves can be seen coming in and crashing on the rocks. There are numerous cliffs and viewpoints along Blowhole Road.On the southern side of the beach there is a track that leads to Flowerpot Point. This is a popular spot for fishing, although snags are an issue because of the prevalence of seaweed and rock ledges beneath the water. (Wikipedia)

DID YOU KNOW: One of Hobart’s biggest historical feats of engineering is the Ridgeway dam. Its construction put Tasmania at the forefront of international engineering innovation. Completed during WWI in 1917, it was considered a major achievement at the time, and was one of the first developments of its kind, in the world, to use techniques like spun steel reinforced piping, patented and manufactured in Australia by Walther Hume. The huge concrete wall has a curved shape which is ideal for the narrow, rocky location.The dam wall is still in use over 100 years later and upgrading the dam wall is underway to ensure it will last another 100 years.

The boarding section of the College was closed in 1970 and since then St Virgil’s College has been a day school only.In 1962, another campus was opened in Austins Ferry, offering junior secondary grades (Grades 7–9) on a riverside property of 30 hectares. In 1991, three Grade 10 streams were also added. 2012 marked the 50 year celebrations for the campus. (Wikipedia)

DID YOU KNOW: The town of Orford was named by Edward Walpole, who was granted 1,000 acres in the area in 1831. He named his grant “Strawberry Hill”, after the London residence of his relative Horace Walpole who was the Third Earl of Orford. The town was first established as a mainland port for the convict settlement on Maria Island. However, the marine infrastructure never consisted of more than a few short jetties which still remain today. Orford has several picturesque beaches - including Raspins, Millingons, Spring and Rheban. Nearby is the well-regarded 9-hole Orford Golf Course and the Darlington Vineyard. (Wikipedia)

DID YOU KNOW: Ten Lives is counting on you help to raise funds to support our new and exciting Building Project! “This is the most significant project Ten Lives has taken on in its 70 years history and it will completely change our ability to care for cats, our people and the environment. Our current premises have served our cats and the community well, but are now seriously inadequate for us to do our work. We have long enjoyed the support of the community but now we are calling on all levels of government to support our animal charity and this building project as we carry out our increasing obligations under the Cat Management Act as Cat Management Facility.” - David Rees, Ten Lives President
