"The mutton birds have become so full of plastic their bellies crunch & crackle with the sound of it."

Image of a bog landscape with patches of wetland, forest and open water.

Feeling bogged down or mired in anxiety? Consider that boglands, once equated to wastelands of misery, offer beauty and innovation. These treasures protect history as they control our climate future. With internal strength built one peat layer at a time, bogs control vast landscapes. Love the bogs.

Can we recreate a lost world? In Tasmania, anything could happen The thylacine might walk again. Or Lake Pedder might rise again. The possibility of ecological restoration in the island state plays into the appeal of going back in time

"But instead of pining for the past we might have to turn our focus to building the future – a future in which the scampering, bitey, ever-evolving descendants of today’s Tasmanian devils and eastern quolls (the great-great-great grand-nieces of the thylacine, 72 times removed) can thrive."
