David Hornett Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Concertina cases for the Tassie tiger concertinas, made from Tasmanian sassafrass and coastal casurina, french polished. The big button in the front activates the catch. The wooden boss on each end prevents standing the instrument up and getting valve sag. Nicely holds 7 fold bellows. Hopefully the below will take you to the images on photobucket.

David Hornett Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 Don't get them in Tassie. So a thylacine, (Tassie Tiger) had to suffice, but we don't get them anymore either, the government paid for them to be exterminated last century.

David Like the fabulous mountain ash trees that they cut down. The early Aussies were worse than the Americans for laying waste to national treasures. But they couldn't tell the future, and life was a struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hornett Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 Yes, and the Tasmanian government is still at it, they have just earmarked 400,000 acres of absolutely prime native forests for logging in the next few years, despite massive resistance, and life is not that much of a struggle in Australia/Tasmania anymore. Greed that motivates here and short term gain: thank God we have characters with the courage stand in front of dozers bull dozers and automated loggers, both figuratively and metaphorically speaking. The Tassie government has made it a crime to protest at a logging site -- you are carted straight off to the cells if you do, an option some tough characters have already taken.

Patrick McMahon Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Money can't buy me love. But it certainly can buy politicians. You have to ultimately blame the voters for electing them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
