  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦭🚧 Neil, a 1,000 kg southern elephant #seal in #Tasmania, crushes traffic cones and barriers each year during molting season, rubbing against them to shed his coat.

    Wildlife experts from Tasmania’s Department of #NaturalResources and #Environment say it’s not mischief but instinct. As Neil matures, officials warn he may become more territorial, urging fans to keep 20 m away.

  2. The Boy Maeve spotted at The Hobart Book Shop!

    I've never visited Hobart without popping into The Hobart Bookshop at least once (and usually leaving with at least one book) and so while I'm not there to see it in person, it's quite the buzz to hear that The Boy Maeve is currently sitting in a rather prominent position in their YA section!

  3. We took Mr 10yo to see & Juliet today - a local production by John X Presents - so much fun ❤️

    I’m also proud that the little consulting company I work for so consistently supports the arts and was the major sponsor for this show.

    They put on a brilliant performance today and were also raising funds for Working It Out (an important local support NFP for the LGBTQIA+ community).
