Tess of the D'Urbervilles
by Thomas Hardy
Tess of the D'Urbervilles Phase V: "The Woman Pays," Chapter Thirty-Seven Summary
- That night, Tess wakes up when she hears a noise on the stairs.
- It's Angel: he's having another sleepwalking episode.
- He comes into her room, and stands over her bed, murmuring, "Dead, dead, dead!" and sounding very, very sad.
- She's not afraid of him, even though he doesn't know what he's doing.
- Then he murmurs, "My poor, poor Tess—my dearest, darling Tess! So sweet, so good, so true!" (37.8).
- Now she really doesn't want to wake him up. He hasn't murmured sweet nothings to her in days, and she's missed it.
- Then it becomes clear that he's dreaming that she is dead, and he picks up her body and carries her downstairs, and out the door.
- He carries down towards the river, and Tess remembers the time he carried her, and the other three dairymaids, across the flood.
- There's a small footbridge over the river, which is running high because of the recent rain. The bridge is narrow and Tess is a little nervous as he carries her across it—more for his sake than for her own, of course. But they reach the far side safely.
- He carries her to a ruined abbey, and puts her down in an empty stone coffin without a lid, and kisses her mouth.
- Then he lies down on the ground and falls asleep.
- She's afraid they'll both freeze to death if they stay there, but she doesn't want to embarrass him by waking him up.
- So she takes him by the arm and leads him back to the house.
- The next morning, it's clear that he has no recollection of any of it.
- She thinks about telling him, but doesn't want to embarrass him or make him angry.
- He had ordered a carriage the day before to come and pick her up after breakfast, and it arrives promptly.
- They swing by the Talbothays dairy, because Angel needs to wrap things up with Dairyman Crick, and they have to pretend everything is okay between them while they're there.
- Afterwards, Angel tells her that he'll let her know where he's going as soon as he's decided, and that eventually he might come back to her. But she shouldn't try to come to him. It's totally a "don't call us, we'll call you" kind of conversation.
- He says that she can write him if she's sick or needs anything, but that he hopes that won't happen. He's certainly not encouraging her to write love letters.
- He gives her an envelope of money, and advises her to put it in the bank.
- Then he helps her climb back in the carriage, and sends her on her way back to her parents' house.
- He watches the carriage disappear, totally miserable because, of course, he still loves her.

Mickelson Joins Group Seeking to Buy Padres, Union-Tribune Says
Three-time Masters Tournament winner Phil Mickelson joined a group interested in purchasing Major League Baseball's San Diego Padres, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Mickelson, a 41-year-old San Diego native, is joining four grandchildren of former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley in exploring a bid for the Padres, the newspaper reported today.
"I've had the opportunity to invest in other sports franchises, and I've turned it down in the past," Mickelson told the newspaper. "This was a unique opportunity with families that had done this before and know how to do it right and want to get involved in the community."
The group, whose Top of the Third Inc. owns the Arizona Diamondbacks' Class-A affiliate Visalia Rawhide, are one of five parties currently looking into purchasing John Moores's controlling stake of the Padres, the paper said.
Mickelson earned $48 million from May 2011 to May 2012, making him the world's sixth-highest paid athlete, according to Forbes valuations published earlier this month. He was the second golfer on the list behind Tiger Woods, who made $58 million.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Traci Tapani is not your usual CEO. For the past 19 years, she and her sister have been co-presidents of Wyoming Machine, a sheet metal company they inherited from their father in Stacy, Minn. I met Tapani at a meeting convened by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development to discuss one of its biggest challenges today: finding the skilled workers that employers need to run local businesses. I'll let Tapani take it from here:
"About 2009," she explained, "when the economy was collapsing, and there was a lot of unemployment, we were working with a company that got a contract to armor Humvees," so her 55-person company "had to hire a lot of people. I was in the market looking for 10 welders. I had lots and lots of applicants, but they did not have enough skill to meet the standard for armoring Humvees. Many years ago, people learned to weld in a high school shop class or in a family business or farm, and they came up through the ranks and capped out at a certain skill level. They did not know the science behind welding," so could not meet the new standards of the military and aerospace industry.
"They could make beautiful welds," she said, "but they did not understand metallurgy, modern cleaning and brushing techniques" and how different metals and gases, pressures and temperatures had to be combined. Moreover, in small manufacturing businesses like hers, explained Tapani, "unlike a Chinese firm that does high-volume, low-tech jobs, we do a lot of low-volume, high-tech jobs, and each one has its own design drawings. So a welder has to be able to read and understand five different design drawings in a single day."
Tapani eventually found a welder from another firm who had passed the American Welding Society Certified Welding Inspector exam, the industry's gold standard, and he trained her welders so she could finish the job. Since then, Tapani has trained a woman from Stacy, who had originally learned welding to make ends meet. She took on the challenge of becoming a certified welding inspector, passed the exam, and Tapani made her the firm's own in-house instructor.
"She knows how to read a weld code. She can write work instructions and make sure that the people on the floor can weld to that instruction," so "we solved the problem by training our own people," said Tapani, adding that while schools are trying hard, training your own workers is often the only way for many employers to adapt to "the quick response time" demanded for "changing skills." But even getting the right raw recruits is not easy. Welding "is a $20-an-hour job with health care, paid vacations and full benefits," said Tapani, but "you have to have science and math. I can't think of any job in my sheet metal fabrication company where math is not important. If you work in a manufacturing facility, you use math every day."
Who knew? Welding is now a STEM job -- that is, a job that requires knowledge of science, technology, engineering and math.
Employers across the U.S. will tell you similar stories. It's one reason we have 3 million open jobs around the country but almost 8 percent unemployment. We're in the midst of a perfect storm: a Great Recession that has caused a sharp increase in unemployment and a Great Inflection -- a merger of the information technology revolution and globalization that is simultaneously wiping out many decent-wage, middle-skilled jobs, which were the foundation of our middle class, and replacing them with decent-wage, high-skilled jobs. Every decent-paying job today takes more skill and more education, but too many Americans aren't ready. This problem awaits us after the "fiscal cliff."
"We need to be honest; there is a big case for Keynesian-style stimulus today, but that is not going to solve all our problems," said Harvard labor economist Lawrence Katz. "The main reason the unemployment rate is higher today than it was in 2007, before the Great Recession, is because we have an ongoing cyclical unemployment problem -- a lack of aggregate demand for labor -- initiated by the financial crisis and persisting with continued housing market problems, consumers still deleveraging, the early cessation of fiscal stimulus compounded by cutbacks by state and local governments." This is the main reason we went from about 5 to 8 percent unemployment.
But what is also true, says Katz, was that even before the Great Recession, we had a mounting skills problem as a result of 25 years of U.S. education failing to keep up with rising skills demands, and it's getting worse. There was almost a doubling of the college-wage premium from 1980 to 2007 -- that is, the extra income you earn from getting a two- or four-year degree. This was because there was a surge in demand for higher skills, as globalization and the IT revolution intensified, combined with a slowdown in the growth of supply of higher skills.
Many community colleges and universities can't keep pace and teach to the new skill requirements.
We need a new "Race to the Top" that will give businesses an incentive to embed workers in universities to teach -- and universities to embed professors inside businesses to learn -- so we get a much better match between schooling and the job markets.

Annaly: Cantor Analyst Gets Creative With His Criticism
By Al Yoon and A.D. Pruitt
A Cantor Fitzgerald Securities Inc. analyst shocked Wall Street with a scathing report that openly mocked Annaly Capital Management Inc.'s disclosures on conference calls with analysts and investors.
The report by Cantor's Michael Diana, dated Nov. 17, cited Annaly as his least favorite among real-estate investment trusts that own mortgage-backed securities and launched into an imagined commentary about executives' performance during quarterly conference calls. Annaly is the largest mortgage REIT, with a market capitalization of nearly $16 billion.
Diana wrote that his "take" on the conference calls–which he said was "exaggerated for emphasis"–was to help investors understand examples of weak transparency from Annaly, while also criticizing the analysts who follow the firm. Annaly borrows funds to invest in bonds issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae.
The speaker in a concocted transcript launches into Annaly Chief Executive Michael Farrell, calling him "Master of the Mortgage Market" who will "pontificate about anything and everything except what Annaly actually did during the quarter."
Among the story line, Diana wrote "Pandering is not only permitted, but encouraged. In fact, 'questions' that are not prefaced by 'Mike, those were brilliant insights!," or other similar comments designed to place your firm on the cover of the next Annaly offering, will be frowned upon."
Diana has worked at Cantor for less than a year, according to people familiar with the analyst. A Cantor spokeswoman said the firm doesn't comment on employee matters.
"We don't comment on analysts who cover us or what they write," said Jay Diamond, managing director of Annaly. "As a general matter, though, we welcome any concerns or opinions that are provided by the analyst community, or any of the investors that follow us."
A call to Diana's office wasn't answered and a voicemail message on his mobile phone wasn't returned.
While analysts can be tough on the corporate-governance policies or business tactics of companies they cover, rarely are criticisms this vitriolic, especially in typically mundane research reports.
"Professionalism is always key and it's best to stick to fundamentals rather than going beyond that," said Jason Arnold, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets who covers mortgage REITs. "When you start going outside the envelope, you're not really doing the job you're supposed to do…[which is] analyzing the value of the company and the value of the stock and evaluating performance."
Nonetheless, it appeared that some of Annaly's rivals are enjoying a bit of schadenfreude.
"He's now the Mike Mayo of the REIT industry," said one head of a competing mortgage REIT, referring to the managing director at Credit Agricole Securities who is known for championing sell calls on financial companies.

The Gillard Government is finding nest eggs a super way to raise revenue
- From: The Courier-Mail
- March 28, 2013
AMID the wreckage after Labor's implosion last week, there is one criticism that could create lasting damage.
The warning of Labor elders Simon Crean and Martin Ferguson that the Government is engaged in "class war" is one that will haunt Prime Minister Julia Gillard for the rest of her term in power.
The former ministers' complaints were directed at the way the Government has tried to sell its policies - ranging from the mining tax to temporary worker visas - by dividing the community.
They reasoned that, in doing so, Labor was consigning itself to losing the election because it was alienating significant parts of the community.
But the criticism goes beyond the way the Government has presented policies and can be applied to the different treatment meted out to people based on their income.
This is a damaging attack that will be hard for the Government to escape as it heads towards a Budget that will have to contain unpopular elements to offset weak revenue and growing costs from Labor's election commitments on education and disabilities.
The "class war" line has already been used by parts of the superannuation industry, which fears another round of hits when the federal Budget is delivered in May.
It has been gleefully taken up by Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, who has accused the Government of playing "the politics of envy" and vowed he will make no new cuts to super.
Gillard has hit back at Abbott, pointing out that the only commitment to cut super is the Opposition's plan to remove a government contribution of up to $500 a year to the retirement savings accounts of low-income earners.
But the problem for Gillard is that there is a raging debate going on within the Government in the lead up to the Budget about whether and how to increase the tax take from superannuation.
Gillard has added to this speculation by ruling out introducing a tax on withdrawals from super accounts for people aged over 60 while refusing to reject other changes.
The Government has already tweaked super rules several times.
From July, it will double the tax on super contributions for people earning more than $300,000 to 30 per cent.
And there is widespread speculation the Government could further reduce tax concessions for super contributions and earnings.
One of the options believed to be under consideration by the Government is to lower the $300,000 point at which the new, higher tax rate will hit.
These rumours have been given a fairly strong kick along by Crean, who urged the Government not to touch super again because to do so would risk "trashing" Labor's legacy as the architects of the compulsory retirement savings system.
Before he was relegated to the backbench for his role in instigating the failed leadership ballot last week, Crean took part in the Government's Expenditure Review Committee - the "razor gang" of key ministers tasked with finding Budget savings.
Aside from his inside knowledge of Budget deliberations, Crean's role as a former leader and Labor icon give greater sting to his criticism.
Making things worse for Gillard, another Rudd backer, NSW MP Joel Fitzgibbon, yesterday called on the Government to rule out any hit on super for anyone other than at the "very, very high end".
"Coal miners in my electorate earning $100,000, $120,000, $130,000, $140,000 a year are not wealthy," Fitzgibbon said.
This does not bode well for the Government's plans to sell what will have to be a tough Budget only months before the September 14 election.
If the Government goes ahead with any of the mooted changes to super, it will be accused of waging another class war.
This is high stakes politics because it risks alienating those like Fitzgibbon's constituents who are reasonably well off but don't consider themselves rich.
It would also risk turning off aspirational workers who may not be personally affected by any changes but may feel the Government is discouraging them from trying to earn more.
And it would leave Labor open to attacks that it is discouraging people from investing in the super system that it designed to reduce reliance on the aged pension.
As with its attacks on foreign workers, Labor hopes it can appeal to its traditional working-class base by attacking the Opposition over its hit to low-income earners.
But this traditional support base is shrinking and it alone will not deliver Labor enough votes to win the next election.
The debate about Labor's ability to appeal to the middle ground is one that is likely to continue well after the latest leadership turmoil is consigned to history.

Social Security: Clinton's Plan Is Right On The Money
As a member of the first wave of the baby boom, President Clinton has offered the nation a set of innovative, centrist, and economically sound proposals to address the financing challenges for Social Security posed by his generation. His ideas will ensure that with a few sensible adjustments, Social Security will be there when both the baby boomers and the Generation Xers retire.
Clinton's plan to save Social Security tackles two distinct problems at the same time. By dedicating nearly two-thirds of projected budget surpluses to Social Security reserves over the next 15 years, it would increase the nation's net national savings rate by as much as two percentage points, reversing three decades of decline. Increasing America's paltry savings rate is the only sure-fire way to bolster future living standards while reducing our dependence on foreign borrowing. Using the hard-won budget surpluses for tax cuts or government spending won't do the trick; isolating them for Social Security will. In addition, the President's plan allows Social Security to cover its projected expenditures through 2055.
Moreover, the President's policies accomplish this while honoring the basic promise of Social Security: to provide every American worker with insurance against the adverse effects on retirement income of unforeseen developments like disappointing earnings, disability, or death of a spouse. President Clinton's plan also safeguards Social Security's three distinctive and morally compelling features: First, that benefits paid to individual workers are linked to average lifetime earnings. Second, that risk is pooled by providing extra benefits to low-income earners and families with children. Third, that Social Security retirement income is protected from the dangers of unanticipated inflation for the duration of retirement, however long.
UNLEASH PRESSURES. The President's plan also calls for investing a share of Social Security's reserves in the stock market. The returns from diversification are substantial, since the annual rate of return on equities has been about 7%, compared with about 2.5% on bonds over the long run. Under the President's proposal, all of Social Security's assets and the returns earned on the invested portion would be available to cover the program's benefits. In contrast, privatization proposals that replace Social Security with mandatory individual retirement accounts would have quite different consequences.
Under such proposals, some or all of an individual's payroll tax payments would be deposited in individually owned defined-contribution accounts whose funds would be managed by private financial institutions. These funds would be removed from the social insurance system, thus no longer available to pool risk and transfer income between high- and low-wage workers, between families with and without children, between the able and the disabled during retirement. Instead of a guaranteed government benefit, Social Security payments to individual workers would depend on asset values, interest rates, and investment strategies as well as lifetime earnings. Finally, privatization would mean that individuals would pay sometimes hefty management fees to financial institutions.
What about the concerns voiced by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and others that the President's diversification plan would unleash political pressures on financial markets? Similar plans administered by state and local governments do not perform as well as privately owned funds for two reasons: Government funds are usually--and understandably--invested more conservatively, and on occasion they are allocated according to political as well as fiduciary considerations. But there are some straightforward administrative fixes to the latter problem. Indeed, the federal government already has a model--the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board--that manages the savings of federal employees according to sound principles. Another approach would restrict Social Security's investments on private markets to index-fund instruments and would choose several private companies to manage these investments through competitive bidding.
Social Security is the crown jewel of our government's programs. It does not need fundamental restructuring. It needs some additional revenues that the President's plan offers through an increase in saving--something long overdue and salutary for future living standards--and partial diversification. The baby boom helped produce the projected budget surpluses. Devoting a substantial fraction of them to fund Social Security will provide a strong retirement foundation for that generation and their children.

The Mill on the Floss
by George Eliot
The Mill on the Floss Book 5, Chapter 4 Summary

Review: Clinique Superfit Makeup
11 comments:
Have you tried the Nicola Roberts Dainty Doll range? xReplyDelete
Hi Victoria,ReplyDelete
I haven't, but I've heard about it.
Is it good?x
I haven't used it but a few people with pale skin have raved about it. And the price isn't too bad. I just had a look on ASOS, there's a concealer too. Might be worth checking out!ReplyDelete
I am really pale skinned and in Clinique's foundation I am Alabaster, might be worth checking out, am pretty sure it looks lighter than Neutral.ReplyDelete
I would also recommend MAC's NW or NC 15... Also, Barbara Daly for Tescos Oil Free foundation is fab and comes in really light shades!
Victoria - thanks for your suggestions, I will definitely have to check out those foundations. Sounds good.ReplyDelete
The Clinique foundation was lovely though, felt really nice on my skin
Rebecca - Thanks for your comment.
I haven't tried any MAC yet, can you believe that?
Is it as good as everyone says?
MAC will def. have a shade to match you - the amount of shades are endless haha! You should get matched up with MAC - the MA's are really helpful and friendly too. xoxReplyDelete
Hiya, I'm also a no foundation sort of person, but wanted to try this one out so thanks for the review. xReplyDelete
No problem, Gina.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the comment.
I thought I was the only person in the world who didn't wear foundation, hee hee
Aww, don't think my comment yesterday showed up. I'm super pale too and now use the pricey Prescriptives custom blended foundation - nothing else works! It's v expensive but it's made exactly the right colour, with whatever coverage and added extras you want :)ReplyDelete
Beyond that, have you tried Illamasqua? They do some really pale foundations. I heard bad things about the Dainty Doll range so didn't try it...apparently the coverage isn't very good and the white one has glitter in it!
Hi Lucy,ReplyDelete
For some reason I can't see your blog. Is it my settings?

Billie Holiday GUESS WHO? Lyrics
Last updated: 07/29/2001 09:43:21 PM
Arthur Freed / Burton Lane
Somebody thrills the skies
When she looks in your eyes
Guess who?
Guess who?
Somebody longs to be part
Of the song in your heart
Guess who? Guess who?
Whose heart is sure to melt like butter
The moment that you utter
"I do" "I do"
Oh it's as plain as can be
That the someone is me
So you don't have to
Guess who

Just a few weeks ago, I fell in love with singer Ingrid Michaelson while watching her perform an amazing concert.
After 35 years of living, I had my first celebrity crush.
Well apparently, celebrity crushes come in bunches because I already have another one … and this time, it's for a man, baby.
That's right – I now find myself totally jonesing for St. Louis Blues hockey player T.J. Oshie. And I'm not afraid to admit it. This is an enlightened society, right? A movie called 'I Love You, Man' is the nation's number one comedy, after all.
Now I know by merely mentioning hockey, I probably just lost a lot of my regular readers, but if for no other reason than to see a man without any hint of irony or embarrassment express his intense affection for another man, please stay with me a bit longer so I can explain what's so amazing about this 22-year-old rookie from the University of North Dakota.
Oshie is without a doubt a very solid technical hockey player. He's a speedy, agile skater who's got mad stick skills which he uses often to make defenders look silly. For a player his age, he's also got an amazing, almost uncanny ability to read the ice and know where to go with the puck. He plays strong on defense and is versatile enough to be used on both the Blues' power play and penalty kill special team units.
But the real reason Oshie is so special – and why he has become My One Favorite Thing of the week – has nothing to do with his physical talents but is all about the way he plays the game, the size of the kid's heart.
Oshie's not a big dude, at least in terms of NHL players, coming in at an official (and from my eyes, generously measured) 6 feet 0 inches and 194 pounds. But he plays like an absolute lion, going 110% every shift, throwing his body around without any regard for his physical well-being.
Every game, Oshie skates with intensity, aggression, and most importantly, infectious joy, and his impact is having a dramatic effect on the entire team as the Blues are on one of the most exciting late-season runs in recent memory.
Dwelling at the bottom of the conference just a few weeks ago, the team is now battling hard to nail down one of the final playoff spots with two weeks left in the season. In January, I predicted that with a core bunch of talented young players (David Backes, David Perron, Andy Mcdonald, Patrick Berglund, Brad Boyes, Roman Polak, Eric Johnson to name a few), the Blues would soon be a force to be reckoned with, winning the franchise's first Stanley Cup within five years.
But watching Oshie makes me think that timetable could be moved up considerably. Just look what Oshie has done for the Blues this week alone. Last Thursday night, after sitting out a morning practice skate with some sort of bug, Oshie scored two points with an assist and a highlight-reel goal (shown here) to help the Blues beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-2.
Then in a key back-to-back weekend series with the Columbus Blue Jackets, Oshie showed what a stud he truly is. On Saturday night, after serving a stint in the penalty box, Oshie returned to the action and laid a huge, clean hit on Blue Jackets star Rick Nash, causing a bit of an on-ice ruckus since marquee players don't usually get hit like that.
The Blues ended up winning that game in an overtime shootout, and it was quite clear that the Blue Jackets wanted some vengeance during the next match, to be played in Columbus in less than 18 hours. But instead, Oshie just doubled down on his ultra-coolness by scoring the first goal of the Sunday game, adding an assist, and most awesomely, doing the following when Rick Nash tried to exact retaliation …
The Blues won Sunday's game 5-2, moving for now into sole possession of the eighth and final playoff spot.
Yeah, so I now got me a man-crush for T.J. Oshie. That's OK. I'm cool with it. And it"s not like I'm fawning all over Oshie's long wavy locks of hair or his baby face and the way his cheeks get all red and pinch-able when he exerts himself.
OK, maybe I should stop now. But T.J., I love you, man. Truly…

Good Hunting: Prey Client for Linux
Following the release of the Prey Demo, a Linux Client for the game is now available.
Game fans can download the Prey Linux Installer from the website Icculus.org. In Prey, the Indian Tommy and his family are abducted by aliens orbiting the earth in a spaceship. Tommy battles the aliens, his physical and mental capabilities becoming more powerful as the game progresses. His Indian ancestry gives him a couple of special possibilities; he can leave his body to scout the environment ahead. Interesting is that gravity on board the spaceship can be manipulated, allowing players to walk on ceilings and walls.
Along with a 2GHz processor, 512MByte RAM and a 64MByte graphic card, the 3 CD original PC version or the DVD Collectors Edition are necessary to run the game. The installer will also recognize the Steam download. In any case, players must be in possession of a unique and valid CD key.
The reasonably sized 43MByte BIN file makes the installer easily manageable. To install Prey, users must direct the installer to the mounted DVD or the NTFS disc:
./prey-installer-12072008.bin --from-install --media '/mnt/ntfsdisk/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/prey/base'

With shoppers preparing to flood local stores this week, Rockford police expect car burglaries to increase with the crowds.
"The crime needs to be cut down and I think it is a big safety factor for the customers who are shopping. Times are hard and it's probably going to become worse than it has in the past. It's good to be aware, Christmas shopping time can be very dangerous", says shopper Lee Marks.
Police and volunteers are handing out tip sheets to shoppers to help prepare for black Friday weekend. Officers ask that if you do go shopping, keep all of your purchases in the trunk and make sure to report any suspicious activity around your vehicle.
Police will hand out more than 15 hundred fliers this weekend, and say the reminders could stretch past the holiday season.
"The community response has been overwhelming, they're thanking us for the valuable information, indicating that they needed it. So it's definitely something that we want to continue and maybe not just at the holiday season. You know, as the summer rolls around I could see us doing it again", says Sgt. Carla Redd of the Rockford Police Department.
Some stores are bringing in extra security for black Friday. The East State Street Wal-Mart is bringing in an additional 30 guards to prevent burglaries.

Forest stream at Glentui BushImage: Steve Atwood ©
Located in
Mount Thomas Forest Conservation Area in
the Canterbury region
Dogs on a leash only
From the Glentui picnic area this track descends to a bridge over the Glentui River then climbs a ridge on the other side. The first section is steep in places and there are a few major drop-offs before reaching the ridge.
The track links first with Bypass Track, then Richardson Track before returning to the picnic area.
This is a family walk suitable for people of moderate fitness, but good footwear is required.
We recommend walking in an anti-clockwise direction.
About 5 km east of the Ashley Gorge Bridge turn left onto Glentui Bush Road. This winding gravel road emerges at the Glentui picnic area after about 2.5 km.
Always take care when lighting fires and use the permanent fireplaces provided. Do not cut live trees for firewood. Use dead wood or the firewood provided.
A fire permit is required for all campfires where permanent fireplaces are not used. During periods of extreme fire risk the lighting of fires and barbecues is prohibited, and some areas or tracks may be closed.
Beware of wasps here in summer. Wasp populations reach high numbers from January to March each year.
We recommended carrying wasp first aid kits as a precaution. These are generally available from chemists.
