A day for the doors, mats, shoes, keys, steps, and greetings that mark the passage between the world and home.
The day the last thylacine died in Hobart Zoo in 1936. Australia has lost more mammal species than any other continent and the list is not getting shorter. The devils in Tasmania, the bilbies in the desert, the koalas losing their trees. This is the day to remember that the platypus is not just a weird animal. It is a miracle that is still here.
