HOOKED!From the mountain dragon to the handfish
BRAGpresents
Hooked! Booklet.indd 1 7/05/13 6:43 PM
Nature has long been a source of inspiration
for artists when creating beautiful pieces that
have the power to educate, entertain and engage
audiences. ‘Hooked! from the Mountain Dragon
to the Handfish’ brings communities together,
inspiring a revival in fibre arts and providing
opportunities to educate and integrate.
Hooked! participants had the opportunity to
learn about nature, express themselves through
art and contribute to a community art exhibition.
Although a pilot project for North West Tasmania,
Hooked! was inspired by knitting and crochet
projects worldwide and focused on our unique,
iconic and threatened native plants and animals.
Hooked! allowed participants to express their
interpretation of the environment and its social
impacts and make unique North West Tasmanian
animals and plants that fascinated and inspired
them.
The project also provided opportunities for the
exchange of information about arts (fibre
arts, creativity and expression and the
local arts community), the environment
(through guest speakers and activities),
health (including mental health and
healthy communities), and community
groups and other services.
Seahorse/Beetles-HazelGirolamo,Mushroom-EuniceHorne,Corals-MargaretBarlow
The Hooked! project was initiated by Cradle Coast Natural Resource Management (NRM)
and ran from May 2012 until May 2013 in the region.
A series of free workshops were held for adults and children that combined craft
tutoring, informative presentations on Tasmanian wildlife and an occasional dash of face
painting and balloon twisting fun. Participants learnt about our local reptiles, the giant
freshwater lobster, the endangered spotted handfish and burrowing crayfish, Tasmanian
Devils, platypus, and quolls, and the problem of marine debris.
Participants were assisted in their flora and fauna creations by members of the
Handweavers, Spinners and Dyers Guild of Tasmania who volunteered their time. Putting
together the exhibition was a challenging job, as more than 370 woolly creations were
contributed by 230 project participants and collated four days before the exhibition opening.

Tasmania has a vibrant arts community with
many creative people, largely inspired by
their natural surrounds.
The Hooked! project allowed
participants to be creative,
share their vision and express
themselves artistically while
learning about our
natural environment.
Hooked! also gave
rise to the creation
of social networks
between members of
the community who
may not otherwise have had
opportunities to connect.
A Facebook page (facebook.
com/HookedinTasmania) was
established for the project
and soon reached over 9,000
page hits with many ‘likes’ and
comments.
The page featured pictures for
inspiration, tutorials and pattern
links, as well as information
about the intriguing native
wildlife found in North West
Tasmania.

The Cradle Coast region is remarkably diverse, bounded by
2,640km of coastline and covering 22,520 square kilometres;
approximately one third of Tasmania. Our natural assets – rivers,
wetlands, groundwater, coasts, estuaries, oceans, natural and
productivelandscapes,biodiversity,geology,atmosphereandcultural
heritage – all contribute to the unique character of this region and also
act as major tourism drawcards.
The region stretches from Narawntapu National Park in the East to Cape
Grim in the far North West, and to Port Davey in the South. Its Eastern
border runs diagonally through Cradle Valley. The region includes King
Island and other islands in Bass Strait and also includes State waters which
extend to three nautical miles. The region covers five of Tasmania’s nine
terrestrial bioregions and four of its seven marine bioregions.
North West Tasmania
The idea for Hooked! began in June 2011, drawing
inspiration from knitting and crochet projects from
around the world.
The concept behind the exhibition was to create a
representation of the iconic wildlife and flora of North
West Tasmania. It was imagined that audiences would
view an installation that started at the region’s iconic
Cradle Mountain and wove its way down to the sea.
To support this vision, a photo montage representing
the region’s varied landscapes was commissioned to
a local graphic artist who manipulated the images to
represent fibre. This graphic artwork was then printed
onto two fabric wall hangings measuring 4 x 3 metres
and 5 x 3 metres each. These formed the backdrop,
in-front of which the participants' fibre artworks
were placed.
As the audience meander through, and interact
with the exhibition, a soundscape of oral histories
is heard, overlaid with a soundtrack including
native animals, ocean and forest sounds.
Amongst the many exhibition features,
highlights include a walk-through glow-
in-the-dark jellyfish swarm under
black lights; and one of the fabric
wall-hangings offereing fun
photo opportunities, with head
and hand-holes for
participants to be a
'mountain dragon' or
'spotted handfish'.

Tiger Snake
The Mountain Dragon is an agamid, or
dragon lizard, endemic to Australia.
It occurs in the uplands of New South
Wales and Victoria, as well as in Tasmania
where it is the only native agamid. They
are oviparous (develop eggs inside their
bodies, and lay them) and feed on ants
and other small invertebrates.
(Rankinia diemensis)
Spotted Handfish
(Brachionichths hirsutus)
The Spotted handfish is listed as endangered in Tasmania's Threatened Species Protection
Act 1995, and also under the Federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Protection Act
1999. Spotted handfish are marine fish, endemic to Tasmania. They are only found on sandy
sediments at the bottom of the Derwent estuary and adjoining bays. Spotted handfish are
very small, only growing to a maximum size of 12 centimetres, meaning they could fit within
the palm of your hand.
The biggest threats to the Spotted handfish are from illegal collectors, habitat disturbance
by dredge, or net fishing and from the introduced seastar (Asterias amurensis).
(Notechis scutatus)
The Tiger snake is a normally timid
species which, like most snakes,
usually retreats at the approach of a
human. It can be difficult to distinguish
the Tiger snake from the Copperhead
since sizes, habitat preferences and
behaviour overlap somewhat. On the
mainland of Tasmania, Tiger snakes
reach a length of between 1 - 1.8 metres.
The Tiger snake is legally protected in
Tasmania and still faces danger from
human activities such as destruction
and fragmentation of habitat. Many
are needlessly killed on the road when
deliberately run over.

The Ptunarra brown butterfly is listed as threatened and is a small brown and orange
butterfly belonging to the family Nymphalidae. It is endemic to Tasmania and restricted
to five areas of the state: the Midlands, Steppes, Northwest Plains, Eastern Highlands and
the Central Plateau.
(Oreixenica ptunarra)
(Phyllopteryx taeniolatus)
This species is related to the seahorse. Unlike seahorses, the seadragons do not
have a pouch for rearing their young. Instead, male seadragons carry the eggs
fixed to the underside of their tail.
This superbly camouflaged fish usually occurs in kelp-covered rocky reefs at
depths between 3 to 50 metres.
(Lowland Poa labillardierei Grassland)
(habitat for the Ptunarra
brown butterfly)
This vegetation sub-type consists of grasslands dominated by silver tussock grass.
Other herbs such as lilies, daisies and orchids occupy the inter-tussock spaces.
Tussocks may be large and spreading or small and tufty depending on the situation and
site history. The grass tussocks may form a closed mass or appear as an open layer with
smaller grasses, plants and lichens in the inter-tussock spaces.

The Eastern barred bandicoot is
a yellowish-brown marsupial with
3 to 4 distinctive pale bars on its
hindquarters. It grows up to 35
centimetres long and can weigh
up to 1450 grams. This bandicoot
has large pointed ears and a tail
which grows to 9.5 centimetres
long (Cronin 1991; Strahan 1998;
TSSC 2008z).

Eastern Barred Bandicoot
(Perameles gunnii)
Grey Goshawk
(Accipiter novaehollandiae)
Swamp harriers once enjoyed nesting in swamp land and marshes. Now drained for agriculture,
their former habitat area is reduced and the preference is to settle for alternatives that include
farming cropland.
The Swamp harrier is particularly vulnerable during harvest and can be disturbed during egg
laying throughout October–November. Early intervention by flagging a nest site at this critical
time and alerting machine operators to avoid the immediate nest site could be all that is required
to support the long term survival of this valuable “Farmers Friend”.
The Grey Goshawk is a medium-sized bird of prey (350-550mm). In Tasmania, the bird despiteits name, is all white - the only all-white raptor in the world. On the mainland, two colour formsoccur - all white and grey.
The legs, feet and the cere (just behind the bill), are yellow. Females are larger than males. TheGrey Goshawk occurs singularly, or in pairs, in rainforest, wet sclerophyll forest and woodland.They feed on birds, small mammals, reptiles and insects.
The Eastern barred bandicoot
is a yellowish-brown marsupial
with 3 to 4 distinctive pale bars
on its hindquarters.
It grows up to 35 centimetres

pointed ears and a tail which
grows to 9.5 centimetres long.

HOWTO
4.5 mm knitting needles (straight).
2.25 mm knitting needles (straight or dpn).
8 ply yarn: Main colour for body and gusset;
Contrast colour for fins, ‘hands’ and tail.
Ideally the MC is mustard, and CC is cream/white.
Brown crochet thread for French-knotting the
“spots” onto the body.
Safety eyes (or beads/buttons for eyes).
Craft pipe cleaner/chenille (polyester or
nylon-covered wire. This gives legs structure
and ‘bend-ability’).
A strand of multi-brown crochet thread can be
knitted in with the CC to create the “spots” on the
fins. Alternatively you may wish to hand-stitch
seed beads for the spots onto the fins using
nylon/clear thread and a beading needle.

  • 2. Nature has long been a source of inspiration for artists when creating beautiful pieces that have the power to educate, entertain and engage audiences. ‘Hooked! from the Mountain Dragon to the Handfish’ brings communities together, inspiring a revival in fibre arts and providing opportunities to educate and integrate. Hooked! participants had the opportunity to learn about nature, express themselves through art and contribute to a community art exhibition. Although a pilot project for North West Tasmania, Hooked! was inspired by knitting and crochet projects worldwide and focused on our unique, iconic and threatened native plants and animals. Hooked! allowed participants to express their interpretation of the environment and its social impacts and make unique North West Tasmanian animals and plants that fascinated and inspired them. The project also provided opportunities for the exchange of information about arts (fibre arts, creativity and expression and the local arts community), the environment (through guest speakers and activities), health (including mental health and healthy communities), and community groups and other services. Seahorse/Beetles-HazelGirolamo,Mushroom-EuniceHorne,Corals-MargaretBarlow The Hooked! project was initiated by Cradle Coast Natural Resource Management (NRM) and ran from May 2012 until May 2013 in the region. A series of free workshops were held for adults and children that combined craft tutoring, informative presentations on Tasmanian wildlife and an occasional dash of face painting and balloon twisting fun. Participants learnt about our local reptiles, the giant freshwater lobster, the endangered spotted handfish and burrowing crayfish, Tasmanian Devils, platypus, and quolls, and the problem of marine debris. Participants were assisted in their flora and fauna creations by members of the Handweavers, Spinners and Dyers Guild of Tasmania who volunteered their time. Putting together the exhibition was a challenging job, as more than 370 woolly creations were contributed by 230 project participants and collated four days before the exhibition opening. Hooked!

  • 3. The Handweavers, Spinners and Dyers Guild (HWSDG) of Tasmania and the Burnie Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) are both major project partners for Hooked! Hooked! was funded by Cradle Coast NRM through the Australian Government’s Caring for our Country and was assisted by sponsorship from Tasmanian Alkaloids, and grants from the Tasmanian Community Fund and Inspiring Australia.

Tasmania has a vibrant arts community with many creative people, largely inspired by their natural surrounds. The Hooked! project allowed participants to be creative, share their vision and express themselves artistically while learning about our natural environment. Hooked! also gave rise to the creation of social networks between members of the community who may not otherwise have had opportunities to connect. A Facebook page (facebook. com/HookedinTasmania) was established for the project and soon reached over 9,000 page hits with many ‘likes’ and comments. The page featured pictures for inspiration, tutorials and pattern links, as well as information about the intriguing native wildlife found in North West Tasmania. www.facebook.com/ HookedinTasmania ˚ ˚ ˚ ˚ ˚ ˚ ˚ ˚ ˚ Hooked!

  • 4. The Cradle Coast region is remarkably diverse, bounded by 2,640km of coastline and covering 22,520 square kilometres; approximately one third of Tasmania. Our natural assets – rivers, wetlands, groundwater, coasts, estuaries, oceans, natural and productivelandscapes,biodiversity,geology,atmosphereandcultural heritage – all contribute to the unique character of this region and also act as major tourism drawcards. The region stretches from Narawntapu National Park in the East to Cape Grim in the far North West, and to Port Davey in the South. Its Eastern border runs diagonally through Cradle Valley. The region includes King Island and other islands in Bass Strait and also includes State waters which extend to three nautical miles. The region covers five of Tasmania’s nine terrestrial bioregions and four of its seven marine bioregions. North West Tasmania The idea for Hooked! began in June 2011, drawing inspiration from knitting and crochet projects from around the world. The concept behind the exhibition was to create a representation of the iconic wildlife and flora of North West Tasmania. It was imagined that audiences would view an installation that started at the region’s iconic Cradle Mountain and wove its way down to the sea. To support this vision, a photo montage representing the region’s varied landscapes was commissioned to a local graphic artist who manipulated the images to represent fibre. This graphic artwork was then printed onto two fabric wall hangings measuring 4 x 3 metres and 5 x 3 metres each. These formed the backdrop, in-front of which the participants' fibre artworks were placed. As the audience meander through, and interact with the exhibition, a soundscape of oral histories is heard, overlaid with a soundtrack including native animals, ocean and forest sounds. Amongst the many exhibition features, highlights include a walk-through glow- in-the-dark jellyfish swarm under black lights; and one of the fabric wall-hangings offereing fun photo opportunities, with head and hand-holes for participants to be a 'mountain dragon' or 'spotted handfish'.

  • 5. FibreHandfishbyHooked!participantKarinaRose FibreDragonbyHooked!participantKarinaRose MountainDragon-Image/MichaelThow TigerSnake-Image/MichaelThow Handfish-Image/Aquenal Tiger Snake The Mountain Dragon is an agamid, or dragon lizard, endemic to Australia. It occurs in the uplands of New South Wales and Victoria, as well as in Tasmania where it is the only native agamid. They are oviparous (develop eggs inside their bodies, and lay them) and feed on ants and other small invertebrates. (Rankinia diemensis) Spotted Handfish (Brachionichths hirsutus) The Spotted handfish is listed as endangered in Tasmania's Threatened Species Protection Act 1995, and also under the Federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Protection Act 1999. Spotted handfish are marine fish, endemic to Tasmania. They are only found on sandy sediments at the bottom of the Derwent estuary and adjoining bays. Spotted handfish are very small, only growing to a maximum size of 12 centimetres, meaning they could fit within the palm of your hand. The biggest threats to the Spotted handfish are from illegal collectors, habitat disturbance by dredge, or net fishing and from the introduced seastar (Asterias amurensis). (Notechis scutatus) The Tiger snake is a normally timid species which, like most snakes, usually retreats at the approach of a human. It can be difficult to distinguish the Tiger snake from the Copperhead since sizes, habitat preferences and behaviour overlap somewhat. On the mainland of Tasmania, Tiger snakes reach a length of between 1 - 1.8 metres. The Tiger snake is legally protected in Tasmania and still faces danger from human activities such as destruction and fragmentation of habitat. Many are needlessly killed on the road when deliberately run over. Mountain Dragon Hooked! Booklet.indd 8-9 7/05/13 6:43 PM

It is endemic to Tasmania and restricted to five areas of the state: the Midlands, Steppes, Northwest Plains, Eastern Highlands and the Central Plateau. (Oreixenica ptunarra) (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus) This species is related to the seahorse. Unlike seahorses, the seadragons do not have a pouch for rearing their young. Instead, male seadragons carry the eggs fixed to the underside of their tail. This superbly camouflaged fish usually occurs in kelp-covered rocky reefs at depths between 3 to 50 metres. (Lowland Poa labillardierei Grassland) (habitat for the Ptunarra brown butterfly) This vegetation sub-type consists of grasslands dominated by silver tussock grass. Other herbs such as lilies, daisies and orchids occupy the inter-tussock spaces. Tussocks may be large and spreading or small and tufty depending on the situation and site history. The grass tussocks may form a closed mass or appear as an open layer with smaller grasses, plants and lichens in the inter-tussock spaces.

It grows up to 35 centimetres long and can weigh up to 1450 grams. This bandicoot has large pointed ears and a tail which grows to 9.5 centimetres long (Cronin 1991; Strahan 1998; TSSC 2008z). FemaleSwampHarrier-Image/AliDugand FemaleGreyGoshawk-Image/BertQuant TwoweekoldSwampHarrierchick-Image/AliDugand Bandicoot-Image/DPIPWE Eastern Barred Bandicoot (Perameles gunnii) Grey Goshawk (Accipiter novaehollandiae) Swamp harriers once enjoyed nesting in swamp land and marshes. Now drained for agriculture, their former habitat area is reduced and the preference is to settle for alternatives that include farming cropland. The Swamp harrier is particularly vulnerable during harvest and can be disturbed during egg laying throughout October–November. Early intervention by flagging a nest site at this critical time and alerting machine operators to avoid the immediate nest site could be all that is required to support the long term survival of this valuable “Farmers Friend”. The Grey Goshawk is a medium-sized bird of prey (350-550mm). In Tasmania, the bird despiteits name, is all white - the only all-white raptor in the world. On the mainland, two colour formsoccur - all white and grey. The legs, feet and the cere (just behind the bill), are yellow. Females are larger than males. TheGrey Goshawk occurs singularly, or in pairs, in rainforest, wet sclerophyll forest and woodland.They feed on birds, small mammals, reptiles and insects. The Eastern barred bandicoot is a yellowish-brown marsupial with 3 to 4 distinctive pale bars on its hindquarters. It grows up to 35 centimetres long and can weigh up to 1450 grams.
