Lunch time, and we are cruising up the Derwent. The swell of the Southern Ocean is far behind. Media await at the wharf and our Macquarie Island campaign continues.
This is my last post. I hope you enjoyed my impressions from Macquarie Island. It is an amazing place that urgently needs saving. The political stalemate continues, so your help is needed to show that Australians are sick of what is happening and want one or both governments to show decisive leadership to break the deadlock. Check out our action on the WWF website.
It asks you to write to Premier Paul Lennon, Premier of Tasmania. It would also useful to write to The Hon Malcolm Turnbull MP, Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, Parliament House, Canberra ACT 2600, to say that, with only one more month before the eradication plan is delayed yet another year, it is time for the Australian Government to show decisive leadership to resolve this problem.
Hope you enjoyed following my travels and thanks for your support.

Hi,
Just read your whole blog, very interesting and sad to see the devistation from the rabbits. I'm visiting Macquarie in December as part of an Antarctica cruise, and I can't wait to see the island and the wildlife, you made it more real for me!
And I'll be send a few letters to our politicians.
Cheers,
Liz
Hi Andreas, I just wanted to say i think your biodiversity work on maquarie island is great. I know the goverment has been very dissmissive about offering any support in that area, and i have to say i was pretty dissapointed to hear that. Your job must be very facination and rewarding.
