So last week I told my colleague one of my favourite travel stories of all time.
He liked it, and encouraged me to write a blog post about, so here it is: https://latower.github.io/posts/2023/09/moonmilk/
Now I am curious what awesome, unexpected and free thing others have experienced during their travels?

What could be better at our family owned/operated distillery than hosting a family group who are visiting Tassie on holiday. Mum and Dad enjoyed a tasting while the kids played bongo drums on some yet to be filled casks. #distillery #Tasmania

I do love the old buildings in Launceston. I used to live in a house in the UK that dated back to the 9th century, but some are still fairly old and still have statues in their facades.
I shall by driving my mum into Launceston today for an appointment at the eye hospital. There are several very steep hills.

Fascinating study suggests it's very likely that the thylacine, last confirmed to exist in 1936, only truly went extinct late in the 20th century...and there's a small chance a few could be roaming Tasmania's most remote wildernesses even now. đŽ

Ron Nagorcka - Lovregana: Music From a Tasmanian Forest (1990)
Un cassette particular este. #RonNagorcka reinventa el sonido de #Tasmania a partir de sus intervenciones electrĂłnicas. De esta forma tenemos aves autĂłctonas sintetizadas y un didgeridoo re loco. Creo que pocos discos deben sonar asĂ, es un experimento con mucha mucha identidad.

Heading into Spring, the birds are coming back. Today's prettiest visitor was this Grey Goshawk (white form) - Accipiter novaehollandiae. These are the world's only pure white raptors.

Davo and Stevo, the Forest Ravens, were not happy when a Brown Falcon swooped in and stole their rabbit.
Rabbits are feral here, and the birds need to eat, so no matter who wins this is good for the environment.

"South-east #Australia #marine #heatwave forecast to be literally off the scale - Patch of Tasman sea expected to warm over spring and summer to temperatures that risk significant losses to sea life
Australiaâs south-east could be in for a marine heatwave that is literally off the scale, raising the prospect of significant losses in fishing and aquaculture.
The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast a patch of the Tasman Sea off Tasmania and Victoria could be at least 2.5C above average from September to February, and it could get hotter.
Oceanographer Grant Smith said the colour-coded scale the bureau uses to map forecast sea surface temperature anomalies stops at 2.5C. âWe didnât account for anomalies that high when we developed this ... it could be 3C, it could be 3.5C, but we canât see how high it goes,â he said.
...
South-eastern Australia is a known climate change hotspot with its waters warming about four times faster than the global average."

Beautiful, but way too cold IMO.

House prices in the remotest and coldest parts of Tasmania are soaring. Is it about low prices or lifestyle?

Tasmanian tree fern massacres must end
The notion that we are still removing giant Tasmanian tree ferns from the forests & habitats that rely on them, to sell them into the garden trade as curios, planters, stepping stones & mulch is archaic & well past its time
