The Peak

The Peak has the best views and the feel of a gaudy commercial fair. The only
Problem is views can’t be bought. A man pointed into fierce mist and said every square
Metre costs twenty five thousand dollars. I climbed the hill as far as I could. Signs
Barred the way to the very summit. But a concealed path in the Governor’s Park
Lead up and up, further into the clouds, the atmosphere thinning, a chill in the
Air, scarcely a bush visible, until it stopped at a lonely mobile phone mast.
