The Carnegie has nothing of the indigenous PNW peoples and can't compare although their Inuit room is quite good. AMNH does a good job orienting and presenting the native peoples of Cascadia. There is a shout-out (briefly) to which was nice to see.

Of course, go to or Royal BC Museum to knock your socks off.

In 2012, a lone wolf appeared on an island near , Canada.
When he first showed up on the island, local authorities said he couldn’t survive. There were no deer to hunt, no year-round source of fresh water. They said that he would be a danger, as he was so close to the city. They debated shooting him. Yet somehow, against the odds, the wolf found a way to survive and thrive,

This wolf is known as

I'm going to be going on a short visit to BC this month.

Any particular recommendations for a random internet dude you know almost nothing about?

I like coffee shops, bookstores, local's favorite's greasy spoons, and micro brew. A nice park or forest to hike or run through is great too. If it is a thing in Canada, farmer's markets are cool.

Disused short between the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail and the Uncle Tobys factory in Wahgunyah, , . The disused railway station at Wahgunyah is 100 metres or so from this bridge. Wahgunyah was the terminus of a branch line that left the north east mainline at Springhurst. Today the section between Rutherglen and Wahgunyah is a rail trail.

“In 1856, Victorian building workers downed tools for eight hours of work, eight hours of rest and eights hours of recreation. It is that working-class recreation that is in the balance here.”

That's right, duck hunting is as socially important as people not working 12+ hours a day.

Alternatively, they might be saying that workers fought for those recreation hours solely so they could go duck hunting? 🤷

Go and see Poems for God at the Victoria Fringe Festival. And be game.

Are there Fringe Festival hashtags? Is anyone on Mastodon doing the Victoria Fringe?

These cheery little Nodding Greenhood orchids usually bloom in August, so are probably almost finished now. They are not usually solitary, so finding a healthy colony of them is a bit of a treat.

An arborist has confirmed that a birthing tree in western Victoria sacred to the Djab Wurrung people has been poisoned.
Key points:

The Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation says the "despicable" act is a "clear attack" on the community

The corporation is offering $10,000 for information that leads to prosecution over the matter

The Western Highway duplication project is on hold while a cultural management plan is prepared

The arborist determined the poison was applied via three holes cut into the tree, which had its trunk was spray-painted with the words "build the road", between Thursday, August 10 and Friday, August 11.
