 Australia. 
  This is something that I read and  was just so impressed  by that I just had to add this story to my blog. !!  We as humans think we are so good and strong with enourmous endurance !and are the best on the planet !! Well, I've got news for you.!! having read this article and looking at this luttle birds Amazing acheivement I felt commpelled to share it. I hope that you share the same interest in this amazing story as I do!    This is endurance !
                                           WORLD CHAMPION RECORD HOLDER .

 THE  BATAILED GODWIT :
  This story begins with this very young juvenile bird of some five months old  that was "tagged "leaves  YK Delta Alaska  on the 13th October 2022 on its most amazing flight to Australia of some 13,560 kilometers in  11 days .. NON STOP !  unbeleivable.. to think that this was a non stop flight without food and water ,sleep .with an average of 51 km/hr for 11 days.!The flight ended in Ansons Bay  Tasmania Australia on the 24th of October 2022.  This amazing feat of endurance has  beaten, and created a  new World Record for the longest continual flight of  a bird   The bird arrived and is lterally skin and bone using all its bodyweight to make the flight , and now rests to build up its strength again..  I find this so amazing ! I think of all that stormy weather encountered on this little birds journey !!

THE TASMAN BRIDGE   HOBART  TASMANIA.

Hobart TASMANIA.:
 A lovely new "first day released : maxi card showing the"Tasman Bridge over the Derwent River in Hobart Tasmania..This bridge has a bit of a history as it was the scene of a tragic event that happened when a ship hit the bridge and brought down the highway above along with some unfortunate traffic that was crossing the Bridge at the time.

THE TASMAN BRIDGE DISASTER : occured on the 5th January 1975  in Hobart ( The capital city of  the State of Tasmania  ) when a bulk ore carrier  ( The Lake Illawarra ) carrying 10.000 tonnes of zinc ore concentrate traveling up the Derwent River collided with several of the pylons of the bridge thus causing the bridge to collapse also bringing  down  a large section of the roadway onto the ship and into the river. Twelve people were killed including seven crew onboard the ship , and the five occupants of four cars that fell the 45 meters (150 feet ) after driving off the bridge. The disaster severed the main link between Hobart and its eastern suburbs and is notable for the social impacts that resulted from the loss of such a vital road artery.  (info care of Wikipedia )
