I would imagine that most people when heading off to work on a Monday morning would rather be home or, at least, not stuck in traffic.
My drive to work this morning was out towards the Point and the Wombat Circle; about a half kilometre, three minute drive. I would have walked, but the car had tools, drinking water, etc.
With heavy duty shears, for the past few weeks I have been cutting back and burning native currant bushes to create a large circle whose centre will mark the ending of the 1.2 kilometre Gaia Evolution Walk.
Yes, the work is exhausting and by the end of the day I want nothing more than a cold beer as any decent construction worker would want.
But while on the job and needing a bit of a rest, I just push through the gate to the Wombat Circle and rest with a cup of cold water and a packet of potato chips.
If the view gets too boring, I can take a short walk further south to the Point to refresh myself there.
All in all, not a bad place to spend a day working. And don’t think for a moment that I’m all alone. There are delights everywhere from eagles soaring overhead to seals frolicking in the water. And on the ground, countless droppings of wombat poo.
