This is why Tasmania needs to be throwing mountains (stadiums?) of money into education. The current system needs careful redesigning to be relevant and interesting to modern kids with varied needs, so they can feel valued & lead positive lives. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Perhaps if we’re spending all that money someone might want to run the stadium by the integrity commission. Ahaha.

The rain’s on the way. I hope we get plenty! #Margate #Tasmania

Another amazing Tasmanian fly, Deineches nudiventris. This is a hoverfly that seems to be a bit prone to getting trapped indoors in early March. It's about 2cm long. #Diptera #Tasmania

What a place. #Hobart #Tasmania #kunanyi

I just can’t believe that a bird that was the sound of my childhood could be on the brink of extinction because of low-life dumb, greedy, unethical politicians like Rockliff & Abetz. pulsetasmania.com.au/news/new-res...

Funny not funny. Extinctions & environmental devastation are not toys for politicians to play games with. How dare they! www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNOx...

Feeling crisply autumnal in sunny #Hobart, #Tasmania this morning.

I am on a steep learning curve about owning a long-haired dog. A walk in the rainy dog park yesterday gave the added bonus of 50 000 burrs to remove from an impatient pup.
