⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Cradle Mountain Sightseeing Tour It was one of my father and I’s favorite memories in Australia. We had one day in Tasmania on our trek around Australia, and Sue made it the most memorable. She picked us up early when our ship got in, took us on a run to Maccas, and then when I told her that my major involves animal conservation, she suggested we go to Devils at Cradle as well as Cradle Mountain. That was the best suggestion ever! I got to see hands on conservation work with Tasmanian Devils, and although Cradle Mountain wasn’t showing its peaks, we had a great time walking around the park. Once we were done with our trek, we went to lunch and Sue bought both my father and I a drink because we had never tried it before. She truly made the experience feel like a family trip. We stopped at the Murals on our way back to Devonport and saw so much more than we expected. I would recommend this trip with Sue to anyone looking to travel to Cradle Mountain, or on any other trips she guides. She made the experience one of the most memorable in our travels and was flexible in creating an experience that we would enjoy — Emily S. TripAdvisor Review

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Gunns Plains Caves and Canyon Tour Sue is such a friendly and knowledgeable person; we had a great time on the Gunns Plains caves and Leven Canyon Tour — Marcie Smilie. Email Review

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Burnie Sightseeing Tour Sue ran a tour with just the two of us. She is very knowledgeable, friendly and the tour was personalised, flexible and pleasant. Anyone with a group of 2 – 6 should definitely call her up. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. Sue will also accommodate cruise passenger time restrictions. We were glad to have booked with her instead of the cruise ship shore excursions (which went to the same places) — Kupio Kerr – Google Review.

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Stanley Sightseeing Tour Tour of northern Tasmania including Stanley and the Nut. We had a fantastic day being shown around this part of Tasmania- Sue was efficient, informative, and an excellent driver who made the tour relaxed and personalised to us. During the tour we saw many different aspects of local life, and out of the way places that we would have missed doing our own tour and driving. A memorable trip, that we would heartily recommend — Lynne James. Google Review

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Wings Wildlife Park Scenic Tour Thank you for the lovely time we had on the tour out of Burnie on Sunday, 14 January. Our tour was peaceful, informative, entertaining, better than we could have imagined! And what a special treat it was to indulge in the delicious ice cream at the berry farm! — Marcie Smilie. Email Review

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Tasmanian Foodies Custom Tour We had a lovely time with Tasmania Boutique Tours on the first day we arrived in Tasmania! Sue was a wonderful guide, and she made us feel right at home immediately. She was really thoughtful in preparing warm blankets and hot water, and led us on an exciting foodie experience. We had such a good time despite it being such a rainy day. She truly showed us the best of what Tassie has to offer, and really can’t wait to travel back again with her. Highly recommended if you are looking for a private touring experience. — Emily Chua – Facebook Review

Tucker Carlson Takes on Australian Reporter After Searing Putin Question

The controversial former Fox host is down under on a speaking tour alongside some notable Aussie names.

William Vaillancourt

Tucker Carlson , whose Putin -friendly commentary stretches back years , was at it again during a recent exchange in Australia with a reporter who asked if he felt “any shame” about his stances and having been dubbed a “ useful idiot ” for the Russian president.

Carlson is in the country on a whirlwind speaking tour, joined by some of Australia’s most controversial identities; including Clive Palmer, a mining billionaire-turned-politician who is now on his third attempt to build a replica of the ill-fated ocean liner, Titanic .

In a video clip that Carlson posted on X Wednesday afternoon, Sydney Morning Herald political correspondent Paul Sakkal began to ask his question about the Russian president, but only got seven words in before Carlson started up his usual antics.

“You’ve preempted my question on President Putin,” Sakkal said, prompting Carlson to immediately feign outrage while repeating the name.

“He’s so bad!” Carlson exclaimed sarcastically, laughing it up. “Did he make you take the COVID shot?”

When Sakkal informed the conspiracy theorist that the vaccines saved millions of lives, Carlson refused to believe it.

“Oh, yeah. Safe and effective. This is why everyone loves the media!” he mocked with a high-pitched cackle. “It’s like a time capsule. It’s like you’re the last Japanese soldier on Okinawa thinking the war’s still going on. No, it didn’t save millions of lives.”

A frustrated Sakkal interjected: “Can I get the full [question] without interruption?” Once Carlson finally allowed Sakkal to continue, he went ahead.

“I’m interested in your position on Putin. The many people in this crowd who would adore a conservative prime minister in this country like John Howard, Tony Abbott, mainstream right-wingers like Boris Johnson, Australian Liberals—some of their MP’s are in the crowd—are vehemently anti-Putin,” he began.

“They believe he’s a reprehensible figure who doesn’t believe in the values of conservatism, such as the rule of law and democracy, which gives us the freedoms that we have in our country. I’m interested: Do you feel any level of shame or regret that you were termed a ‘useful idiot’?” he asked, eliciting a laugh from Carlson.

Sakkal then mentioned the fallout from Carlson’s interview with Putin in February.

“Vladimir Putin himself said in his Russian media that he was surprised at how weak your questions were, and he also said that you were wrong when you said that no other journalists had asked to interview him, and he said, that’s not true.”

Carlson, calling Sakkal’s question an “absurd soliloquy,” accused him of taking Putin’s “word for things” after having previously considering the Russian president to be a “psychopathic liar.”

Carlson then took issue with Sakkal’s characterization of Boris Johnson.

“First, I’m stuck on the idea that Boris Johnson is a right-winger. Do you know Boris Johnson? I do. Boris Johnson is a criminal buffoon who, like so many who claim to love Ukraine, is single handedly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian men in this war that Ukraine cannot win,” he said.

“And I would just refer you to Wikipedia. How many more people does Russia have than Ukraine? Do you know? 100 million. And in a land where that’s a relevant number, it is not possible for Ukraine to beat Russia. The best they can do is go for peace . That’s been known, including by [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky, who wanted that since the early days of this conflict,” he continued. “And Boris Johnson, on orders from the Biden administration, shut down—and this is not a disputed fact, this is a fact admitted by everybody now—shut down the peace negotiations almost two years ago, and Ukraine has been completely destroyed.”

That claim about Johnson, however, is disputed, with The Guardian calling attention to one study in Foreign Affairs that describes a sequence of events that is not as clear-cut as Carlson depicted it.

Carlson continued: “And now Zelensky has passed a law allowing foreign corporations to own land there. So you tell me what Ukraine is going to look like in 30 years, when all of it is owned by Blackrock and multinational corporations, and its population is not Ukrainian? Okay?”

Carlson concluded by saying he does feel shame—not about anything he has said, but about Western governments’ involvement in trying to prevent a Russian takeover of Ukraine.

“The tragedy of what’s happened in Ukraine orchestrated by the Western powers, including your government…and driven by my government—I feel shame about it and I hope you do too—is really one of the great crimes of my lifetime. So the idea that somehow if you’re against that, you’re for Putin—well of course that’s absurd,” he insisted.

During a 2019 episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight , the namesake host said he was rooting for Russia in its conflict against Ukraine. Carlson claimed later that he was just kidding.

Nearly six albums into her career, Carpenter made Hot 100 history with her new single “Please Please Please” debuting at No. 2, and “Espresso” rising to a new peak of No. 3 on the list. The 25-year-old singer-songwriter became the first solo act in the history of the Billboard chart to land two simultaneous top-three hits without having previously charted in that realm.

“Please Please Please” was completed by a cinematic music video starring “Saltburn” star and Carpenter’s real-life boyfriend, Barry Keoghan. The song was co-written with Amy Allen, who also helped pen “Espresso.”

The singles will appear on her new album, “Short n’ Sweet,” due out Aug. 23. “This project is quite special to me and [I] hope it’ll be something special to you too,” she wrote on social media with the announcement. Half of the LP was produced by Jack Antonoff, along with returning collaborator, Julian Bunetta, as reported by Rolling Stone.

Carpenter released her fifth album “Emails I Can’t Send” in 2022 , as well as its deluxe edition “Emails I Can’t Send Fwd” the following year. It became her highest-charting to date and boasted a hot single “Nonsense,” a song that caught fire after she provided alternate closing lyrics while opening for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in South America and Australia. She also toured the album on her own 80-date headlining world tour.
