15.01.2022 #BREAKING: Premier Peter Gutwein has announced an additional $5 million in Tasmanian travel vouchers will be released on September 30. It comes in addition to t...he $7.5 million already allocated to vouchers for accommodation and tourism experiences, aimed at boosting tourism in Tasmania. The voucher program will open 7pm next Wednesday and will be available via a dedicated hotline as well as the Make Yourself At Home website. The interest (in the first tranche), I must say, did surprise all of us, Mr Gutwein said. Gone in 38 minutes was just extraordinary. I am certain there will be incredible demand for this again.

10.01.2022 What do you know about Tassie's native bees? Native bee species are integral for providing pollination services to native Tasmanian plants, as well as food p...roduction. Senior Geography lecturer at UTAS Dr McQuillan says native bees are messy pollinators - but it's a good thing. Native bees are more effective at spreading pollen because of their messy feeding style. They become covered in pollen after visiting a flower unlike the introduced species, which carry it neatly on their back legs, There are many threats to Tassie's native bees, including habitat loss, feral bee species, pesticide use and more. Landowners can help by putting in plants which attract native bee species, such as banksia and prickly box.

09.01.2022 Fire emergency warning for St Helens.

08.01.2022 ** Update at 6.05 The Midland Hwy is now open. Traffic is moving slowly. Thank you for your patience.... ______ ** Update at 4:20 Tasmania Police can confirm that tragically, three people have been killed in a crash on the Midland Highway this afternoon. The crash occurred just before 1pm, one kilometre south of Ross. Investigations indicate that a vehicle towing a caravan was travelling north on the Midland Highway, when a solar panel on the caravan dislodged and fell into the south bound lane. A vehicle travelling south took evasive action to avoid the solar panel, and has lost control, colliding with a north bound vehicle which was travelling behind the caravan. The male driver of the southbound vehicle, an adult female passenger and a female child are deceased. A fourth occupant, a male child, has been airlifted to the Royal Hobart Hospital in a serious condition. The three occupants of the northbound vehicle, a female driver, an adult male passenger and a female child have been transferred to the RHH in a stable condition. The driver of the vehicle towing the caravan was unaware of the crash and continued to Epping Forest. This is a tragedy for all three families. An incident like this is distressing for everyone involved and will have a life long impact for so many people, said Acting Commander Kate Chambers. The driver and his family are understandably distraught and have been offered support. Crash Investigation Services are attending the scene. The highway is expected to open to all vehicles in about an hour. ________ **Update at 2.40pm the Midland Highway is open to light vehicles in both directions following an earlier crash near Ross. Motorists are advised to expect delays.** _________ ** Update 2:08pm - Police have requested that motorists delay all travel on the Midland Highway in the area south of Ross. The Highway will be closed for an extended period, after a serious crash involving several vehicles. There are fatalities. Further details will be advised. Police are directing traffic and vehicles are being turned around on the Highway. ** _________ Please avoid travelling on the Midland Highway near Ross. The Midland Highway will be closed south of Ross for some time after a serious multiple vehicle crash. There is no diversion at the moment. It’s understood two vehicles are involved. Further details will be provided when available. ... A second crash has occurred on the Tasman Highway, Apslawn,(north of Swansea). Expect traffic delays.
