Tiny Koala gazes across the museum harbour in Bremerhaven with the submarine "Wilhelm Bauer" and the other historical ships of the German Maritime Museum. In the background, you can also see the radio tower of the Alfred Wegener polar research institute. #TinyKoalaAdventures #Aussiecon5 #Bremerhaven

One of the lighter things the team discusses is what roles our pets might want on staff. @yaritji.bsky.social's Greyhound Houston wishes to host the Hugos. What role would your pet play at #Aussiecon5 (more Team Pets tomorrow!)

One of our wonderful Guests!

The tiny koala I received in Berlin traveled the 3,000 km drive to Anaheim (and back--6,000 km total; nothing compared to the transatlantic flight!) clinging to his friend, Fuzzy, accompanied by a tribble. I look forward to returning him to his home in 2028!

Trivia: 3,000 #BrisbaneIn2028 Koalas were released into the wild @laworldcon.bsky.social That means around 75% of the membership went home with a #TinyKoala.

Thank you everyone who came and spoke to us @laworldcon.bsky.social In total we have 745 wsfs members, 103 attending members, and around 300 presupporters. We took 160 presupports at LA! Bookmark our new website aussiecon.org and please sign up for the convention and convention volunteering.

And our new site address is. aussiecon.org
