From the editor: 

When Don Defenderfer heads into the Tasmanian bush, he finds calmness and connection. When he writes about it for Forty South, I find calmness and connection. His piece in this issue, entitled simply wukalina, is as beautiful as anything I have ever read about this land.

Back in less-calming urban areas, life in Tasmania was very different just 30 years ago, and especially for school-leavers. Life in Tasmania in the early 1990s was about “fierce working class pride, kids leaving school after Grade 10 without anybody batting an eyelid, wealth and poverty rubbing shoulders, and people dying early after living tough lives”. They are the words of one of those school-leavers, one who “like many of my generation … left Tasmania for the fabled mainland”. Dr Samara McPhedran has achieved much since joining that exodus, but as she explains in this absorbing piece, something of the essence of Tasmania has travelled with her.

It seems that wherever I have been in my love of old bookshops, disturbing dust to discover wondrous rooms, passages and corners that to me are the truly magical spaces of the world, Rayne Allinson has been there before me. Especially in Tasmania, which can lend dark and Gothic narratives to the places where books have historically been kept. She speaks so ardently about this that it was clear what I had to do: I asked her to write about it. This

column is for book lovers, but it is at heart about the places where books are gathered. There is a difference. The distinction is as small as a subtle point of definition, and as large as the universe to which, for human beings, books are the only mode of travel, and bookshops the portal.

Local government is often in the news in Tasmania, and rarely for positive reasons. Both the national and state governments have over the years conducted or commissioned studies on how to improve efficiencies, with the one major constant recommendation being a reduction in the number of councils. The number has been reduced – from 49 to 29 – but evidence that we would be better off with as few as eight super councils has failed to win support from a majority of either councillors or ratepayers. The issues can be complicated, but Saul Eslake cuts through the politics and rhetoric and looks at the past, present and potential future from the clearest perspective – the community level.

 The plan to move the Hobart campus of the University of Tasmania from Sandy Bay to the city has created a lot of debate, much of it heated. But it isn’t the first time the Hobart campus has been moved, and it isn’t the first time heated words have been exchanged, as Nick Brodie reports.

Durable
Color: S6-muti-color
The balls are great for chewers. The squeaky didn’t last long but they are perfect for the ball launcher.

The squeeker isn't durable, but the balls themselves are.
Color: S6-muti-color, Color: S6-muti-color
I have two 70+lb, ball obsessed dogs (a field bred Golden Retriever, and an Old Time Scotch Collie), and these balls are living up to the abuse they're receiving. In the fall we always lose a ball or two in the yard due to getting lost in leaves or longer grass, so I always try and buy a multi pack at the start of the season, so went with these this year. I'm glad I did. Great price for a 6 pack, they fit the medium Chuck-It launcher (a little loosely, but they throw just fine), have great bounce, they FLOAT (which means I didn't lose any at the beach), and they're super durable to the dreaded "mouth squish." The squeaker dies pretty quick, like, within a day, but it isn't the kind that can fall out or choke your dog, so no worries there. The boys are happy, I'm happy, my wallet is happy - I've already ordered another pack.

Disappointed
Color: S6-muti-color
These were great for about 20 minutes then they stopped squeaking...we have 2 left that I have saved but the other 4 do not squeak anymore...disappointed as my dog loves to squeak things...would not buy these again...My dog is only an 8lb dog too...but he can still play with the balls without the squeak...

Great Value for a ball my dog loves!
Color: S6-muti-color
I wish these ball were in the subscription program! My dog gets sooo excited by the new ball, but her interest in things lasts for a few days. She kills the squeak within 11minutes, but the squeaker stays in place rather than becoming a chocking or swallow hazard, and she still loves to chew it. Next, we must throw the ball approximately 723 times the first day, possibly 496 times on day 2, and just 3- 4 on day 3, at which point she will chase the ball before hollering "it's over here if you need it," while she checks on the chipmunk den. We currently have 17 of these balls in our yard (because we have given several leftovers to a less discriminating doodle next door). These balls hold up really well, get her extremely active for the first couple of days, and are a much cheaper than doggie daycare (after an active morning with a new ball, she is happy to chew on it and sleep much of the day). I always have these on hand!
