Today, I ran a chess tournament for kids in the northwest of Tasmania. Outside of the main metro hubs of Hobart and Launceston, there isn't much chess activity, and the atmosphere was buzzing, the kids revelling in the chance to participate in their chosen pursuit while parents were so thankful. It was an unbelievably feel-good experience 🙂

Fingal Railway Station c.2010. I thought I'd heard something about it being restored for community use but when I went to check I ended up in places no one should have to look at.

#TemporaryPictures #Fingal #Tasmania #RailwayStations

Site of the railway station near Clarendon Estate, northern #Tasmania

Passenger rail services ended in 1978. Many of the stations, specially the smaller ones, have since been removed. Some have been reused. Others just sit there, unloved.

I never knew about Dog Vomit Slime Molds until my wife told me on our walk on Sunday. These slime molds can be white or yellow and are also known as witches butter (though I always thought there was a jelly fungus called that).

Apparently, in Scandinavian folklore, it is known as the vomit of Troll Cats 😱😱

They aren't dangerous though they can trigger allergies like rhinitis.

Hobart reached a new highest temperature for May with 25.8 ºC at 12.58 this afternoon, exceeding the 25.7 ºC registered on the 1st in 1997.
And in the time it's taken me to type this up, it reached 26.0 ºC at 13.10
Further increases remain possible.

From 2023: Explainer: What are your rights to #protest in #Australia?

by Amal Naser

"Which states have criminalised protest and what forms of protest are criminalised?

"#HumanRights organisations have been increasingly critical towards some Australian states over new legislation which seemingly targets #EnvironmentalProtests in the midst of a global #Climatecrisis.

"There are dozens of protest regulations across many states, with five (#NSW, #Queensland, #SouthAustralia, #Tasmania and #Victoria) introducing forms of #AntiProtest regulation most recently. South Australia's new laws, passed just last month, increase maximum fines from $750 to $50,000 along with potential jail time, and were prompted by disruption of an #OilAndGas conference by protestors in early May.

"In the aftermath of protests which sought to block port operations and shut down economic action to draw attention to demands for climate action, the NSW Parliament passed legislation which could see protestors face up to a $22,000 fine and/or prison for a maximum of two years. The legislation targets individuals who block major roads and new tunnels and/or disrupt #port operations in major ports such as #Newcastle and #PortBotany.

"In 2022, Tasmania passed anti-protest laws by way of the Police Offences Amendment (Workplace Protection) Bill 2022 under the guise of protecting Tasmanian workers. Under these laws, any protestor who obstructs a workplace during protests could face up to 12 months in prison, the Human Rights Law Centre reported:

" '…community member protesting the destruction of #OldGrowthForests on a forestry site could face a penalty of over $13,000 or 2 years in prison; and An organisation supporting members of the community to protest could be fined over $45,000.'

"Similar laws were also passed in Victoria. #AntiLogging protestors who 'hinder, obstruct or interfere with timber-harvesting operations' can face up to 12 months in prison and/or a $21,000 fine. PVC and metal pipes which are often used in protest activities are now prohibited in working sites, with additional powers provided to police to search suspect individuals who are 'reasonably suspicious'.

"In 2019, on public safety grounds, Queensland passed legislation which bans locking devices as modes of civil disobedience. These are tactics used to make it difficult for police to remove protestors and are often used by protestors to lock themselves to property and #pipelines to prevent construction of environmentally-harmful projects. Protestors face up to two years in prison and/or a $6,000 fine. It was rationalised on the basis of activists lacing devices with 'butane canisters' and other devices which were harmful for law enforcement. However, there is no evidence of the use of these devices."

It's what my memory is trying to tell me the words for are "cold and wet" in #centralQueensland today.

So I dug out a musty old box with some of my belongings from #Tasmania in them, pulled out my drizabone covered in spiders and wasp nests, only to discover that my values for "cold and wet" have shifted and I'm now walking around in a personal sauna of my very own.

People in Tasmania, are you looking for something to do next Sunday? How about a trip to Lilydale for the free Small Farm Living Field Day and the Lilydale Village Market?

I'll be at the field day delivering a talk "Discover wildlife trail cameras: Unlock hidden wonders on your property" (more info in the link) & there will be lot of other speakers, demos & stalls.
