I Didn’t Want a Dog… So I Bought One Off Gumtree
I Didn’t Want a Dog… So I Bought One Off Gumtree I never liked dogs. I didn’t actively dislike them, but I wasn’t really a fan and never really wanted one… Which worked out well I guess, because what we actually got was a baptism of fire… All packaged up as a Yorkshire Terrier. Gumtree in itself is a red flag really, but what am I if I’m not impulsive and impatient… And 24 hours…
Mount Misery | Still Not Miserable
Tas Field Nats ascend upon Mount Misery What a marvellous Sunday was spent wandering the tracks at Mount Misery with an equally marvellous group of people. The Field Nats last visited Mount Misery in 2018, you can read about it here. That post will give you some info on the walks and how to get there. I won’t bother repeating myself. I’m efficient like that… Back in 2018 I was going through a pretty strong…
Herbarium | Day Ten
We found this weird Stellaria up in the central plateau a while back. We didn’t really notice it was weird at first. We just kinda went ‘it’s a Stellaria, it’s probably just S. multiflora‘ and then moved along looking for what we were there looking for. Which was a Senecio and some Carex. Anyways, I took some photos, because it was really cute and planned to just ID it later. Turns out, that Stellaria multiflora…
Where Where Wedgie? | Zero Heroes
Three black cockatoos, a murder of ravens, a handful of currawongs and a dear little eastern spinebill. But alas no raptors. Never mind, no data is still useful data, and it was a good excuse to go for a wander on the mountain. Not that an excuse is needed. But sometimes, as life gets busier and there seems to be a constant stream of ‘responsibilities’, you start feeling like you need an excuse. Where Where…

Lake Belcher Track | With No Lake
The Day Ten Project Recently I switched to a nine day fortnight at work, leaving the tenth day for exploring and botanising. Today I decided to wander out past Wombat Moor along the Lake Belcher Track up at Mount Field National Park. Even though Lake Belcher is meant to be only a few hours walk, naturally I only made it halfway, because…. plants…. One day I would like to get that far. Perhaps I need to go when it is pouring rain, cold and windy, then…
