24.01.2022 #archaeologymatters Aboriginal heritage survey. Ground visibility made it pretty tough!

23.01.2022 #archaeologymatters Couldn’t resist posting this awesome piece of calcified tree!

19.01.2022 #archaeologymatters One of the two Rocky Cape caves occupied by Aboriginal people up to about 8000 years ago. An amazing piece of coastline with a long cultural history. Contains shell (with bone) middens, hearths, bone implements and stone artefacts. A special and significant place.

18.01.2022 Today we celebrate World Diabetes Day. . This year’s theme, ‘Nurses make the difference’, has made MyDiabetes Managing Director, Sam reflect on her time as a n...urse and all the special and emotional experiences she’s been present for and felt herself. . We asked Sam to share her reflections today: . This world diabetes day, I’ve really reflected on the people living with diabetes that I know and have worked with. . This picture was taken in 2014 and is one of my favourites. It speaks of the LIVED experience of diabetes. These kids aren’t kids anymore, so much has happened. . One kid decided to travel and live in Brazil for a year and is now 6 foot 2; . Another went through the process of gender transition, made a family and bought a home; . Another is now an engineer; and . Sadly, one beautiful soul has passed. . As a Diabetes Nurse Educator, I don’t just move with people and their lived experience of diabetes, it’s a whole life journey with unforeseen twists and turns. I genuinely see it as privilege to not only be witness to, but to be part of people’s lives. . Happy World Diabetes Day everyone, let’s reflect on the incredible nurses in our lives. See more

12.01.2022 #archaeologymatters #archaeologymatters Amazing view of the Inveresk rail yards and the North Esk River in 1877. The building in the centre is the original passenger station and platform, demolished soon after this to make way for a new goods shed in c 1882. The station was then rebuilt closer to the North Esk. The Inveresk site served the rich agricultural land and mines to the west. The Willis Street rail yards are still under construction in this shot for the main Hobart t...o Launceston line. Both were originally built by privately owned companies but soon taken over by the Government as they experienced financial difficulties. The story of early rail in Tasmania is very interesting and I’ll post some more about it soon. Photograph source: Brian Chamberlain, 1985, Early Steam in Tasmania.

05.01.2022 #archaeologymatters Clay pipe I came across during my visit to the @shipinnstanley on the weekend. Apologise for the quality of the photos! It is most likely 'SMOKE / GOLDEN EAGLE' an imported US tobacco brand that I’m told by my friend Denis begins to appear in c. 1880. It’s a US import, and possibly made as promotional items that were supplied by the importer.

02.01.2022 #researchmatters and of course #archaeologymatters Researching the first railway in Launceston. The first photo is a drawing of the first rail yard at Inveresk 1871. The second photo an original drawing of the railway camp at Jinglers Creek, 1868.... Both photos from Chamberlain 1985.
