I just had to walk up this street on my morning walk so I could see the display of these flowers shining in the sun! They always puts on a spectacular show every year! 🌼👋🏽😀 #bloom #bloombloom #bloomin #bloomsinaustralia #bloomsinoz #bloomscrolling #Flowers #Flowers #bloomsinseason

This looks really great, but I’d imagine it needs a regular cut back just so you & visitors could get into the front yard. Spotted it in #Ipswich #Qld #Australia. It does look good! 🌸👋🏽😀 #bloom #bloombloom #blooms #bloomsinaustralia #bloomsinoz #Flowers #bloomscrolling #Flower #bloomsinseason

Pink frangipani, charming & sweet! While these flowers have little / no perfume unlike some of the other varieties, I still like them. As I said, I find them charming & sweet! 🌸👋🏽😀 #flowers #bloom #blooms #bloomscrolling #bloombloom #bloomsonline #flowersonline

Divine! The crepe myrtles around SE Qld are out & simply stunning. Look at this one against the green of the plants & trees. (No filter) 🌸👋🏽😀 #Blooms #Bloombloom #Bloomscrolling #flowers #Flowerpower #flowersonline #bloomsblooms

Home now via my mum’s, and saw her bird visitors too. My holiday is over & I’m back at work tomorrow.

The grey clouds lingering around didn’t put me off kayaking & swimming today. Clouds don’t always mean it’s going to rain & the water bayside was the calmest it’s been for a week. Good for kayaking around #Minjerribah! #Qld #Australia

Some days I’m so thankful & grateful for my blessings. I know they’re much more than my issues & problems. As the end of day one of 2026 draws near, I’m feeling grateful. ☀️🌅💕

The 1st day of 2026 started for me with an ocean swim & a play in the water with the early high tide. Happy New Year everyone!! #Minjerribah #Queensland #Australia

It’s clear that fact checking is not happening by the mass media & they’ll publish misinformation, disinformation, lies, innuendos, bias & lies without accountability. I now read more independent media & check gov reports, etc & advise other people, inc students to do the same.

Life is short, enjoy every moment… #Dunwich #Minjerribah #Queensland #Australia

I’m back in one of my favourite places! #Minjerribah, #Queensland #Australia

When someone puts a flower & some leaves in a small vase on their coffee table. Simple & beautiful! 🌺👋🏽😀

There’s one flower on this plant in my front garden… Simple beauty! Simple pleasures are sometimes the best! 🌸👋🏽😀

What a still day! A few clouds, no breeze & very few birds out & about in my neighbourhood. I wonder what they know, that I don’t. 🐦🤔👋🏽😀

Started the day weeding a part of my garden before it gets hot. It’s got away from me on the past few months. It feels good when I get something done! Have a lovely day everyone & do something for yourself that makes you feel good, even something small. 🌺👋🏽😀

A mass planting of little plants a year ago has produced a beautiful display of red flowers this December. The one on the left feels soft & fluffy like velvet. Both are a lovely visual & sensory treat when so much at this time of year is plastic & fake. Have a great day! 🌺🌺👋🏽😀 #bloom #bloomscrolling

I had my last UQ dinner for 2025 last night. I have a few more days of work before my holidays start on the evening of the 24 Dec.

I’m feeling lucky tonight after seeing the one & only hibiscus flower on this bush. It’ll be gone in a few days & then there will be none… As I said, I’m feeling lucky to see its beauty. 🌸👋🏽😀

I spoke about the ‘Sharing research training program funding across universities to strengthen Indigenous HDR supervision and completions’ Policy Brief (Maria Raciti & Bronwyn Fredericks, ARC IFC - indigenous-futures.org/component/co...) this week at the NATSIHEC National Meeting & AGM.

Out walking in my neighbourhood this morning in the sunshine. It was a delight to see the young magpies out of their nest nearby & walking around more independently from their mother now. Time moves on. 🐦👋🏽😀

Sending hugs & love to my followers & friends, especially those affected by what happened at Bondi Beach & the ongoing stories, commentaries & posts. 💕

Sometimes plants find crevices in harshness & what all might at first seem like odd places to take hold, grow & thrive, but they do. Kind of like humans sometimes…. You’ll see plants like the ones in the photos if you look for them. 🌿👈🏽👀👋🏽😀

The world's richest 0.001% now control 3x as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity combined. 56,000 wealthy individuals have more than roughly 4 billion people. Read that back.

My red geraniums have nearly finished their flush of spring flowers. I’ll be trimming them back soon, and getting them ready for the rain we get in the new year. They respond to seasonally cycles just as we humans do…. Enjoy your day! 🌺👏🏽😀

The daisies at my home are flowering again. They bring the sunshine when the sky is grey, like it is today. I’m knocking off early today because it been a few big weeks. 🌼👋🏽😀

We’ve got another warm & sunny day ahead in SE Qld. I just walked through the clumps of palm trees in one area at UQ St Lucia & my mind jumped to the holidays… For now though, it’s more end of year gatherings & thousands on campus for 32 graduations! (photo: no filter) 🌿👋🏽😀

A powerful presentation from A/Prof Levon Blue at the UQ Indigenous Staff Conference about superannuation issues for Indigenous peoples in Australia, & Canada. NB: The medium age of death for Indigenous Australians is 63yrs & non-Indigenous Australians is 82.3yrs. This plays out with superannuation.

NB: If you’re spreading lies, disinformation, misinformation & conspiracy nonsense on this platform, I’ll mute, report & block. ❌

A pop of bright red for Monday morning for me & you. Have a good day & start of your week! 🌺👋🏽😀

I made the choice & got another COVID vaccine today.💉✅ Health advice & scientific evidence demonstrates vaccines work & help protect oneself, and others. Make the choice, and get vaccinated (if you can). #Covid_19 #CovidIsNotOver #HealthCare #COVIDisAirborne #HealthForAll #Auspol

Today I noticed the last of this season’s jacaranda flowers in my neighbourhood. Enjoy them if you see them around where you are this weekend, because they’ll be gone in another week. Enjoy these & more today! 💜👋🏽😀

This week I adapted & sang ‘I believe’ by R.Kelly, 1996 (www.google.com/gasearch?q=i...) to the UQ Indigenous graduates as a gift. I have the privilege of witnessing incredible people start their studies, develop, succeed, graduate & become alumni. I know they can fly! #Classof2025

There are 119 Indigenous students eligible to graduate with degrees from UQ in the next two weeks, including 9 PhDs (6 PhDs from UQ Poche Centre for Indigenous Health). Congratulations to all graduates at UQ & all universities in the #Classof2025! 🎓👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #Classof25 #Australia

I moved around UQ St Lucia quite a bit today. There are areas around campus that I wouldn’t want to miss seeing & admiring, like the one below.

I was back in one of UQ’s studios yesterday to film my last video for the year. Look out for it soon! 🎥

Spotted while walking… Unique & beautiful in its own way like every single one of us. There is beauty all around us, but not everyone sees it. Look out for some beauty around you today, even a little… 🌸👋🏽😀 #bloom #Blooms #bloomscrolling #flower #flowers #bloomsonline #flowersonline

Some beauty for me & you this morning. Have a lovely day wherever you are & whatever you’re doing today! 🌿👋🏽😀

After a busy few days, I arrived at Customs House in Brisbane ahead of time just so I could spend some time in the company of the river.

And just like that my time in the #Bundaberg region is over. I’m thankful for friends & colleagues for their kindness, friendship, research knowledge & experience. They add extra sunshine in my life!
