Even though iodine deficiency in Tasmania had been known since the 1830s no full account of the thyrotoxicosis epidemic of 1966–67 has ever been recorded. This personal narrative tracks the history of this epidemic in Tasmania during the 1960s, when it first appeared as iodine deficiency, then as iodine excess, how it was formally recognised and the events leading to its eventual treatment. The addition of iodine into the diet of Tasmanians, initially in bread and then unwittingly through use of iodophors in the dairy industry, resulted in a sequence of events that required unravelling by medical practitioners new to the field but aided by experts from elsewhere. The Tasmanian thyrotoxicosis epidemic was, and continues to be, cited in the annals of the scientific literature as an important medical case study.

Southeast Australia, and most notably Tasmania, is the last home to the Handfishes, a unique group of marine fish that use their fins for walking. A range of threats occur across all species, with four listed as endangered, two as critically endangered, and the Red Handfish now on the brink of extinction. This paper summarises the contribution being made to the national recovery of the Spotted Handfish and Red Handfish by a captive breeding project underway at Beauty Point in northern Tasmania. Information is provided on husbandry techniques, survival and growth rates in captivity and a trial underway to identify their reproductive strategies. This program highlights the contribution the aquarium industry can make to improving the survival of two of the world’s most unique species of marine fishes and the collaboratives efforts of those involved.

The date 27 June 1921 holds special significance for those in the north dedicated to the advancement of knowledge as it marks the inaugural lecture of the newly formed Northern Branch of the Royal Society of Tasmania. Yet, as will be demonstrated, this organisation was not undergoing creation but a reincarnation from its earlier counterpart. Knowledge of the first Branch and its activities is poorly known other than it originally flourished then faded into obscurity. Nevertheless, this group of dedicated enthusiasts persisted and today hold a special place in the story of the development of scientific bodies in the north of Tasmania including the nineteenth-century movement towards the establishment of public museums. As with all progressive endeavours, there were pivotal figures who stood out for the part they played in shaping events. Their names can be found in the following discussion.

The endemic Tasmanian Digger Wasp Williamsita tasmanica is only known from 13 registered museum specimens, with little recorded on its life history. A nesting aggregation of females was observed over a 25-day period, enabling the first detailed observations of host log, nest design, prey and egg deposition, and behavioural patterns to be made. Cells were provisioned with large flies (order Diptera) of nine species from nine genera and four families to observe behaviour. This aggregation used a large eucalypt with an exposed core of friable brown rot for nesting. Our study showed that the day-to-day behaviour of the female is predictable, centring on nest construction, hunting large flies and egg-laying. This information has been lodged on the Atlas of Living Australia and voucher specimens collected for the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery to facilitate further taxonomic study.

The Tamar Valley occupies the Tamar Graben, a geological structure defined by a series of parallel NW-trending faults which have lowered the dolerite basement to below sea level. The resulting narrow trough, some 50 km long and 5 km wide, has been partially infilled with soft sands, clays and gravels, with intercalated basalt flows in places, of mainly Paleogene (lower Tertiary) age. Low hills of hard Jurassic dolerite define the structure on either side. The graben was formed during the break-up of Gondwana, the separation of Australia from Antarctica, and the making of Tasmania, in the Cretaceous-early Cenozoic period, some 70–140 million years ago (Ma). A spreading ridge had propagated eastwards through the Great Australian Bight but was unable to break through the Bass Strait area, and instead a large wedge of crust containing the future Tasmania was pulled away from the corner of Antarctica on a series of transcurrent faults. The associated crustal stretching in the Bass Strait area resulted in the formation of the deep ‘hole’ of Bass Basin, which had offshoots onto what became Tasmania, including the Tamar Graben. For much of its life, the Tamar River was a major feeder stream into the Bass Basin, carrying large volumes of sediment eroded from the Tasmanian highlands. The course of its major tributary, the South Esk River, within the southern part of the graben was completely blocked by basalt flows near the present Evandale about 35 Ma, forcing it into a new course to the west through the dolerite, to form the Cataract Gorge.

Measurements beneath Antarctic ice shelves are critical to our understanding of how the glaciers will change and melt. To access these regions, we rely on autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), which are free-swimming robots. The Australian Maritime College in Launceston, Tasmania, is leading efforts to deploy these vehicles in some of the harshest environments on Earth. This paper provides an overview of the history and recent Australian efforts in deploying AUVs in under-ice environments and discusses recent advances in mission planning and the ongoing challenges to take measurements from beneath ice shelves.

Wedge Island in southeast Tasmania is 43 ha in size and is habitat for Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor) and Short-tailed Shearwater (Ardenna tenuirostris) populations. The island was subject to a feral Cat (Felis catus) eradication attempt in 2003 when 13 cats were captured with the assistance of trained detection dogs. It was known at least one cat remained. No further cats were captured during two subsequent visits in 2003 and 2004 and a single dead cat was found in 2012. It appeared the cat population never recovered from the initial knockdown and this ultimately resulted in eradication success. Methods used and details of cats caught are provided and the program is discussed in terms of criteria required for a successful eradication.

Big Green Island is a 129-ha Nature Reserve and part of the Furneaux Group of islands in Bass Strait, southeastern Australia. Beginning in April 2016, Black Rats Rattus rattus were targeted for eradication using poisoning with 50 ppm brodifacoum wax blocks via a 25 x 25 m grid of bait stations (16 stations per ha) checked daily for a four-week period followed by three one-week visits over an eight-week period. After six weeks, rodent chew-cards were deployed exposing pockets of rat activity on the island. Island-wide monitoring led to the capture of six rats, the last known rat being killed in November 2016. Monitoring for signs of rats proceeded for a further two years and the island was declared rat-free in November 2018. The project encompassed partnerships between government agencies, industry and non-government organisations, and involved a significant volunteer contribution.
