The sun breaks through the low cloud to light up the land below Mount Roland, Tasmania

The Silver Ridge mine, where in July 1881 the directors of the River Don Co believed they discovered a lode under Mount Roland. Immediately John Henry, James York, George Moon, and David Jeffrey, all Don Co directors, took out 80-acre leases. They formed the Mount Roland Co and employed several miners under Mr Bray as their mining manager. Using gelignite, every time they blasted the rock, loud reports rumbled around the pristine valley. By November they had a tunnel 55ft long, and six months later were in 140ft. They sent 10 tons of metal for testing, some in Melbourne, some to England. But the ore’s assay shewed only 91oz of silver to the ton. Like most mines in these mountains, it wasn’t financially viable, so the venture ended.

Afgelopen nacht brachten media al dat het grondoffensief gestart was, maar nu meldt de IDF het zelf ook: "IDF-troepen begonnen met het uitbreiden van grondmanoeuvres naar Gaza-Stad". Bovenstaand worden Jan Paternottes karretjes bij doelen gedetoneerd en over de rest van de operatie laat de IDF cryptisch los: "The troops’ activity began in accordance with the operational plan and is expected to expand according to the situation assessment." Israëlische MinDef Katz schrijft op Twitter: "Gaza staat in brand. Het Israëlische leger (IDF) slaat met ijzeren vuist toe tegen de terreurinfrastructuur, en IDF-soldaten vechten dapper om de voorwaarden te scheppen voor de vrijlating van de gijzelaars en de nederlaag van Hamas. We zullen niet opgeven en niet terugdeinzen – totdat de missie is voltooid." Veel meer beeld na de breek.
