Hi everyone,

Pleased to finally announce this year's event dates for the Cockle Creek half and full marathons.

I know there is a date clash with some other bigger events, but to be honest, that happens most of the year anyway which is a good and bad thing 😀.

Those 42km runners who were entered in the 2022 Cockle Creek full marathon will automatically have their entries rolled over to this event. Unfortunately that only leaves roughly 25 spots left for the Sunday October 15 marathon to Australia's most southern point.

As always, the 21km half marathon will be run on the Saturday morning, this year being the 14th of October.

Both routes are the same as last year.

TikTok users have been left captivated by the discovery of a USB stick containing photos of a young hiker scaling mountains around Tasmania.

The USB, which was found in the pocket of an op shop shirt by Victorian teenage hiker Mawson Sunderland was purchased from a store in Kilsyth, and includes photos of the unknown hiker revisiting the same locations as an older person.

The viral video has sparked a wave of interest, with people keen to uncover the identity of the hiker and the story behind the images.

The sky above Tasmania was illuminated last night as the Aurora Australis put on a stunning show!

Photographers from across the state flocked to capture the natural phenomenon, with many beating the cloud to snap stunning shots.

After two centuries away from Tasmania, a rare ancestral item has returned to the island to the delight of the Aboriginal community.

The rikawa, or kelp water carrier, made from bull kelp, wooden skewers and plant fiber ties in the late 18th century was commonly used by the Palawa people to hold and carry water.

Taken from Tasmania in 1792 from the Recherche Bay area, the rikawa is one of only two known to exist and passed through many public and private collections before being recently identified in Paris.

It is now on loan for two years and currently on display at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery.

OFFICIAL FESTIVAL OPENING & WELCOME TO COUNTRY - AWBF2023

Tasmanian ningher Watercraft specifically built for Australian Wooden Boat Festival to officially open 2023 Festival.

The Australian Wooden Boat Festival 2023 will feature Australian Boat Builders and Designers. The Indigenous watercraft project expands upon previously successful collaborations with Sheldon Thomas – Indigenous watercraft builder.

Thomas, with the help of Chris Ganambarr, yolnga man and Aboriginal youth worker, alongside young Indigenous Tasmanians, have been crafting a traditionally designed watercraft over the past year, getting ready to participate in the AWBF 2023, and officially open the event.

Sheldon has been sharing his knowledge with young participants, passing on the traditional methods of the entire process. He will also launch the watercraft, and paddle through Hobart waterfront to open the festivities for the 2023 Festival.

The maritime environment is a crucial component of Country for many Indigenous Tasmanians, providing a wealth of food and transport pathways made accessible by uniquely designed and constructed watercraft. Knowledge of the native materials, preparation and construction techniques, rope making, and seamanship are part of this heritage.

The Tasmanian ningher Watercraft project has been funded by generous donors and supporters including the Festivals Australia, Federal Group, and Pennicott Wilderness Tours. The project also has support from South East Tasmania Aboriginal Corporation and Leprena.

“It is important for the Australian Wooden Boat Festival's 2023 theme to include and showcase as many makes and models, builders and designers as possible - especially traditional Indigenous watercraft. We are proud to have been working with the team to create this wonderful representation, which will officially open the festival." States Festival GM Paul Stephanus.

At 4:45pm Friday 10 February, the watercraft will be paddled into Constitution Dock by Sheldon Thomas to commence the Welcome to Country and Festival Opening, on the pontoons in Constitution Dock. Speaking will be Greg Lehman, Pro-Vice Chancellor of Aboriginal Leadership and others.
