Catch a screening of ‘Forest Defenders’ at Pat

Catch a screening of ‘Forest Defenders’ at Patagonia stores next week!⁠
⁠
From next week, Patagonia is screening the new Bob Brown Foundation film, a documentary about the fight to save the largest tract of cool temperate rainforest in the world, at their stores around the country.⁠
⁠
Forest Defenders was filmed by the activists fighting to save this ancient forest and captures on-the-ground footage of actions involving hundreds of volunteers, including blockades, disruption of logging operations, and the shutting down of Ta Ann veneer mill. ⁠
⁠
The film simultaneously captures the stunning beauty of these forests and the wilds all across Tasmania.⁠
⁠
To catch a screening of the film, head to our link in bio. Entry is free but spots are limited so you still have to ‘purchase’ a ticket to get in!⁠

A 128 year old wrecked ship has resurfaced on NSW’s Woolgoolga Beach this week!⁠
⁠
Locals are flocking like seagulls to Woolgoolga Beach on NSW’s mid-north coast, as the remains of ‘Buster’ a 39-metre long sailing vessel emerged from the sand. ⁠
⁠
Buster became wrecked on the shore way back on 17 February 1893, when massive waves produced by a severe storm broke the ships anchor cable and holding chains, washing the ship ashore and almost killing the ten crew on board.⁠
⁠
The ship was built in Nova Scotia, Canada and had docked at Woolgoolga Jetty to carry a load of timber to New Zealand before becoming wrecked.⁠
⁠
Buster only makes a reappearance on the beach when heavy winds and rains wash the sand away and according to Lisa Nichols, editor of local paper Woopi News, many long-term residents didn’t even know the preserved ship was there! ⁠
⁠
‘It’s probably the most photographed thing in Woolgoolga at the moment… It just seems to look more spectacular this time,’ Lisa told news.com.au. ⁠
⁠
Who knows when Buster will bust its way out of the sand again? Go check out a piece of history!⁠
