Gorillas in Rwanda:
Manty Arnott, Veterinary Director at North Hobart Veterinary Hospital, shared her incredible experience visiting gorillas in the wild. Although her professional work focuses on domestic animals, Manty has a deep passion for Africa’s gorillas. She and her veterinarian partner have travelled to Kenya and most recently Rwanda to see these magnificent animals in their natural habitat.
Manty highlighted Rwanda’s strong commitment to conservation, with careful tourism management and anti-poaching efforts helping to protect the gorillas for future generations. In Volcanoes National Park, 25 gorilla family groups are habituated to human presence, allowing respectful observation.
Her presentation included stunning close-up photographs of a silverback, the powerful alpha male who leads and protects his family. It was an engaging and inspiring story, clearly reflecting Manty’s unforgettable experience with the gorillas and the beauty of Rwanda.
Community Focus: The Howrah Men’s Shed
Howrah Men’s Shed exists to serve its members
Tucked into the heart of our local community, the Howrah Men’s Shed has become far more than a workspace — it’s a place of connection, purpose, and shared skill.
What began as a simple idea to bring people together has grown into a vibrant hub where men of all ages come to talk, build, tinker, learn and support each other. First established in 2015 it is now celebrating its 10th year.
At the Shed, the sound of tools is matched by the sound of conversation. Members work on everything from woodcraft and small repairs to community projects that benefit schools, clubs, and neighbourhood groups. Each project — no matter how small — carries with it the pride of contributing to something bigger than oneself.
But the real heart of the Shed is its people. For many, it offers a sense of belonging, particularly for retirees, those who have lost partners, or anyone simply looking to connect. Over a cuppa, friendships form naturally, stories are shared, and new members are always welcomed with warmth.
The Howrah Men’s Shed also plays a quiet but vital role in supporting men’s health and wellbeing. It creates a space where people can check in with one another — something that can make a real difference.
Currently they have some handmade clocks made from locally sourced timbers made by the members for sale, along with some bird houses and other items. They have also recently acquired a 3D printer which is getting lot of use.
Beautiful timepieces
Hello, can I please get pricing on clocks please? Cheers
