Not sure the legs will work tomorrow after today’s half marathon 😁 #Point2Pinnacle #Hobart #kunanyi #MtWellington

Last front for the week is through timed to give us a half decent weekend of weather #Tasmania

Faintest of #Aurora in southern #Tasmania last night.

Incredibly bright Aurora out there tonight #Tasmania in spring.

Stunning Sunday morning on kunanyi / Mt Wellington with just the odd snow flake and patch of fog.

Our little Bartholomew got a name change and is now a champion 🤗

Stunning start to the weekend on Kunanyi /Mt Wellington. Chilly weekend for mid November and will be full winter by Monday with snow down to the upper suburbs of #Hobart.

Woken at 2am by this one licking my face 🤣 (no I didn’t sleep on the couch) #AmericanCockerSpaniels

Third #Hobart Show Day in a row with snow falling on Mt Wellington / Kunanyi but you had to be quick to see it 🤔

Btw friendly Bennetts wallaby hiding in the bushes if you look closely.

46.1C at #Birdsville Australia breaks the hottest October temperature on record in Queensland by 1C and is the hottest temperature ever record outside of Northwest WA in October #climatechange

Back at #Rockit #Hobart #Tasmania with new climbing shoes.

So much wind this spring in southern #Tasmania with the negative #SAM.

Stunning clear and warm start to Thursday in southern #Tasmania

Our three little ones are ten months old. Jett is now a show star winning award after award, Yuki is our farm dog who prefers to play with chickens, and Bartholomew lives in suburbia #AmericanCockerSpaniels .

Great weather for ducks with rain, hail and thunder to end the work week #Spring in #Tasmania

Even happens in the tree loving state of Tasmania in the fancy suburbs south of Hobart. Unfortunately down here nobody seems to know who owns the trees so nothing happens.

Well short of records but the westerlies linked to negative SAM giving the heat a boost have given heavy rain and snow to western Tasmania. This was Friday at about 1200m with heavy snow falling. Snow drifts on the ridges were metres deep.

More from #MtField in southwest #Tasmania

Big day hiking #TarnShelf #Tasmania. Wild winds, snow falling and deep snow made for a great day 🤗

It’s been a few wet months down here and Northwest Bay is brown with tannin from runoff this week. I’m certainly not going to complain about the rain.

Unlike most of southern #Australia we can get good rain here in both positive and negative SAM.

The pied lapwings and Tassie turbo chickens were not happy #spring in #Tasmania
