Post-climate apocalypse in #HuonValley & #Hobart. Mostly believable (ex-PM was a caricature, and questionable lack of planning for expedition) with survivors being both humane & loving, but also merciless when called for. Unnerving to see local area in this light.

STOP SEISMIC BLASTING IN AUSTRALIA
We have until August 11 to stop a massive seismic blasting proposal between #Victoria and #Tasmania that will impact #BlueWhale habitat and the #ZeehanMarinePark.
A joint venture between seismic survey companies #TGS and #SLB-Schlumberger is trying to get regulatory approval for seismic blasting over 55,000 sq km of our #oceans. Now is our chance to provide public comment that these plans should be refused to protect our oceans and marine life.

Lucky enough to see a pair of native Tasmanian millipedes feasting on this beautiful fungi.
I don't know the species of millipede, but they're definitely from the Amastigogonus family. Likewise, I don't know the fungi as I'm not a mushy specialist, but I'd guess some sort of bolete?
This was on a walk at Hollybank Forest near Launceston, Tasmania.
