Poet's Ode

The Kunanyi Challenge is set in Hobart's backyard with the event starting at the Longley International Pub, heading up Kunanyi (Mount Wellington). There are two challenges to choose from; you can ride to the summit (21.6kms) or to the Spring (14.1km).

The concept of Wisdom Through Wood emerged from the Tasmanian forest in 2012. It's now the go-to place to learn green woodworking in Australia. The school, and open-air workshop, are surrounded by tall trees and a fern-lined creek which nestles naturally into the forest on the southern slopes of kunanyi / Mt Wellington. It's about a 25-minute drive from Hobart. Their woodworking courses range from one to nine days and progress from an introduction to the tools and techniques of green woodworking through to creating a chair from a tree. They also make stools, spoons and bowls. The longer courses are not more difficult, they simply go into more detail and you experience a broader range of tools and techniques. In the open-air workshop, you'll have your own pole lathe, draw horse and hand tools. They'll guide you through the experience you seek – in a way, and at a pace, that suits you.
