An Absolutely stunning, one in a lifetime solar event has occurred over the weekend. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be taking a photo of an Aurora lighting up the whole sky near where I lived.
Been too tired to chase auroras the past few nights but really happy for those of you that saw it, and thankful for the amazing pictures you've plastered over Mastodon.
I did get out today in the autumn foliage and was lucky to see my first Mycena Interrupta, or cute little blue mushy, since moving to Tasmania.
I was cooking dinner, but then I got distracted by the view outside! We are lucky to see aurora from home and we were ready for this last night, but then we had cloud cover. Tonight is making up for it 🤩
These are phone pics with 2-3 second exposure #AuroraAustralis#Tasmania#lutruwita
We were doing a bit of gardening out the front of our house when we heard and saw some Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoos in trees across the road. My wife went to check them out and took this photo of one flying away, with our house behind.
The battle of the bins has been won. The penguin bins have triumphed in a small Tasmanian town whose most significant feature is the Big Penguin and the second most significant feature is its rubbish bins. #Penguin#Tasmania#RubbishBins
@luciedigitalni you’re all just jealous because #Hobart was promised the world’s biggest chocolate fountain as part of the recent election in #Tasmania.
We laugh at your piddling Ferris wheel!
Fuck the Tasmanian fire service and their claim to "protect lives and communities" by wholesale torching entire hills. There is so much research that shows that this only makes things worse.
This is over the road from my house. There is zero chance I can go outside. The inside of my house smells like smoke and I have two air purifiers going. Do we even have a clean air law in this state or what?
I m just devastated by the sheer number of creatures and plants they are killing, all in the name of protecting humans, which it isn't even doing anyway.
Cradle Mountain stands tall dominating the eponymous National Park. The kind lady at the visitor centre warns us; there is plenty to see and do here, and the two days we have planned won’t be enough. It’s a paradise for hikers and nature lovers. From a gentle stroll around Dove Lake to a steep climb alongside a rocky face to Marion’s Lookout, there is a trail for everyone. But our favourite part has to be watching the wombats at sunset from the boardwalk.
Returned to an area of dry sclerophyll forest today that endured an high intensity fire about five years ago. The inflorescence on the Hakea nodosa is impressive, many of the Eucalyptus sieberi are still covered in epicormic growth and the rocks look like they were scorched yesterday. #tasmania
