  1. @abcfeeds Is anyone closely following this AI compute centre proposed for Bell Bay in northern #Tasmania near #Launceston? I would suppose this would also need federal approval for new energy supply.

  2. Mecca opened in #Launceston today. Wow. I love looking at colourful new shiny things 🥰 small joys ❤️

  3. @arichtman particularly when you take into account there is NO PUBLIC TRANSPORT OPTION.

    Utterly ridiculous and unacceptable #Tasmania #Launceston #StateGrowth.

  4. Forecast is for -3 °C overnight. Prepping my blanket stack for it! #launceston

  5. Minus 2 °C overnight. I thought it was colder than usual. All frosty outside this morning #launceston

  6. Dropped off scooter for service and decided to wander around town. It is raining and I love walking in the rain 💙 Stopped for a coffee #launceston

  7. Great Cormorant Colony

    Great Cormorants are the largest cormorant in Australia and are also found in other parts of the world.

    They live at places of permanent freshwater as well as coastal inlets and estuaries.

    These birds can often be seen diving to catch fish then later perched somewhere with their wings outstretched to dry.

    I happened to accidentally come across a small colony of great cormorants when taking a wander around Queechy Lake in Launceston, Tasmania. There were chicks in nests on a little island in the lake which was surprising seeing as it was the middle of May and almost the end of autumn.

    Here are a couple of photos of Queechy Lake. You can see the little island full of dead trees and shrubs.

    Here’s a photo of the nests.

    And here are some photos of the chicks.

    And finally, here’s a video of the chicks being fed.

    Until next time,

  11. Looks like the ACT, Tasmania, and NT really punch above their weight when it comes to the Fediverse.

    So for folks in Tassie and the territories, I'm keen to know what the split is?

  12. THINGS IN THE WORLD…
    Just had to climb around the barrier to see what was beyond the notch in the rock, didn’t I?

    There is some kind of aesthetic—not sure that is the right word—to rock and trees and nature that gives rise to a sense of awe and to questions as to why is it so. It is perhaps the anticipation of surprise discoveries that forces us to climb over barriers just to check out what might be there.
