Colourful crafts celebrate Japan Children’s Day
Colourful decorations handmade by more than 1000 Tasmanian students will be showcased as part of a celebration of Japan Children’s Day.
More than 600 decorations are today being installed in the picturesque Japanese Gardens within the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens in the lead up to Japan Children’s Day on 5 May.
Fourteen schools from across Southern Tasmania have contributed to the project through the creation of handcrafted decorations known as koinobori, comprising carp-shaped wind-socks and streamers, with written works to be displayed in the Japanese Gardens.
“Children’s Day in Japan is a national holiday and a time to respect children’s personalities and celebrate their resilience, health and happiness,” Lord Mayor Anna Reynolds said.

REVELATIONS that Australia s new $1.9bn icebreaker may not be able to pass under the Tasman Bridge in order to refuel at Hobart s major maritime terminal have been labelled as gobsmacking by a state MP. As reported by the Sunday Tasmanian, there are questions about whether the RSV Nuyina - more than 1.5 times the size of the now decommissioned Aurora Australis - will be able to transit underneath the bridge. TasPorts and the Australian Antarctic Division confirmed risk management and vessel simulations were underway, and one option being considered is the vessel travelling to Burnie port to refuel - a return trip of about 1200km.
