Out of the blue! 😊

Check out the latest issue of Bandicoot Times for a terrific recap of work being done to restore the banks of the Hobart Rivulet. As scientist Christine Coughanowr says:
"Without healthy riparian zones you really just have a drainage ditch"

There's also a story on Hobart's platypus in there too! 😊

A classic label from over 20 years ago when Cascade Brewery also made cordials.

Cascade's bush land in South Hobart plays a critical role in the survival of Hobart Rivulet platypus.

Thanks to Lyn Rodman for this awesome treasure!

#REPOST @bonorong with @get__repost__app Meet Pedro the Platypus!

Pedro was brought to our Wildlife Hospital by the rangers of Mt. Field National Park after he was found lying on the side of the road.
Once he arrived at our clinic, our wildlife vets got to work on giving him a full health check under general aesthetic. They found some minor bruising around his face so they got to work on x-raying him to ensure there were no broken bones. Thankfully, there were only small signs of internal injury, nothing that rest wouldn't fix. They suspected that he may have experienced some sort of trauma and prescribed him some time to heal.

Pedro has since been sent into care with an experienced platypus rehabilitator where he is expected to make a full recovery and be released back home to the wild.

What an absolute joy it was to deliver this beautiful platypus created by Linda Bates of Cadaghi Pottery to SoHo local Janie Whitney!

Serendipitously, the platypus created in Far North Queensland now lives with Janie right on the Hobart Rivulet!

Thanks again to Linda Bates, and congratulations Janie

Spring rain rummage 🥰

Thanks so much to Mel Stanger for her generous support. 🥰

#REPOST @thechangesmiths with @get__repost__app I couldn't be happier with this news! And we all need a bit of good news right now, hey?

My art, achieving good ❤️

Over the last couple of months I've sent Zoom prints off to California, Queensland, Western Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and probably the most exciting one was right next door to me in little old Snug! It was a surprise birthday present for my gorgeous neighbour - a limited edition A2 print, gifted by her family. And I just adore seeing how much she loves it.

I can draw, sure, but I can't achieve anything without your support. So thank you to everyone who's purchased a print so far. We're kicking goals for the environment and threatened species together. xxx

Every day is Choose-Day

According to recent research, approximately 75% of Australia’s platypus populations will die out over the next 50 years if global temperatures continue to rise at their current rate.

Let's make better choices!

Hang in there 'straya!
