Launceston from odd angles…my take

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

Utterly ridiculous and unacceptable #Tasmania #Launceston #StateGrowth.

Awesome sunset today.

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

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,

It was a bit foggy this morning.

Still raining outside. It has been going on for days. Maybe 4? And forecast for rain all day tomorrow too. Constant dripping rain. At least it’s warm I guess? It is the second day of winter and I don’t think we’ve had autumn yet 🤔 #ClimateDiary #launceston

It clouded over in #launceston, still didn't turn on the heating, but I did put on my oodie and uggs :blobcatafternoon:

Good evening

#Launceston

I'm about to start my first winter season in Launceston and will be able to see for myself what is driving the debate to ban wood heaters.

Even walking on a fairly mild day has allowed me to experience the smell and toxicity of wood heaters first hand and it isn't pleasant.

Of course the big issue is always economic cost both to the government and to consumers. And like other fuels, there should be a plan to transition which is manageable and supportive to households this will impact.

And this plan should be being designed now for implementing assp. But timber businesses and conservative voices put up a big fuss.
