  3. @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.

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

    Utterly ridiculous and unacceptable #Tasmania #Launceston #StateGrowth.

  5. 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,

  12. The Tasmanian government has announced that from 2029 (when the current funding deal expires) funding will cease for greyhound racing in the state. This isn't an explicit ban, but given the loss making nature of the industry, it's likely it won't survive without being propped up by the government.

    This is great news, and the remaining states should follow suit so we can end this barbaric, cruel practice in Australia once and for all.
