Tasmania is in the southern hemisphere, on the opposite side of the planet from where you are! This means the seasons in Tasmania are opposite than the seasons in Massachusetts. So while springtime is coming for you all, it’s the beginning of fall here in Tasmania! It’s been cool, rainy, and windy all week.
A common bird in Australia is a magpie. It’s a black and white bird that looks kind of like a crow. Magpies fly in big groups and can be very noisy. I also saw some wallabies while I was running on a trail! Wallabies might just be my favorite animal in Tasmania.
This past month, there have been tons of moon jellyfish in the harbor of Hobart, the city where I live. Moon jellies are about the size of a softball, but they're also flat like a plate. They're a combination of white and clear, and they float near the suface of the water.
