  1. 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 🙂

  16. 💁🏻‍♀️ 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.

  29. Finalist – our impact: Felled Forest

    ‘Exploring the pristine Tarkine and its rainforests, it was common to see areas of land clear-felled. This area appeared to have been recently cleared. A large flock of cockatoos were present. I do not know the adaptability and resilience of these birds but wonder what they make of this destruction.’
