A lyrebird we found this morning in full display. Sound on! #nature #birds #wildlife #birdphotography #victoria #australia

Temperate rainforest. #nature

Here are some daffodils for everyone.

John Duniam talking about childcare, but does not mention his conflict of interest, owning a centre in Hobart. Why doesn't the ABC ask these questions? #auspol #ABC

youtu.be/LMfYNqJgO8Y?... A reminder that 40 years ago, this was an issue.

#qantas losing 1 in 4 Australians data. This is now a government issue. Do better @albomp.bsky.social and @tonyburkemp.bsky.social

Happy winter solstice, everyone. I went to our local lantern festival. I hope you enjoyed the shortest day of the year.

Democracy sausage purchased. 1 to 65 in the upper house. Good times. #auspol

As if I needed a reminder of who not to vote for, my library sends me this today: @squigglyrick.bsky.social

#aflpiesblues So the score review was a point. Was it touched before it crossed the line or after? Why don't we know?

Not suggesting that the umpiring is "interesting", but the early free call was very pro Footscray. Hard to watch. #gopies #afl

Had our gas meter removed this week. One more step in the path to getting off fossil fuels forever

I saw reports that Dutton has given Jacinta Nampijinpa-Price the role of shadow minister for government efficiency and I had to check it it wasn't a joke. It is not a joke. #auspol

Baking today even though it's 35 (celcius) here. #sourdough

Deleted my twitter account today. Cannot support Musk after his salute.

⚡️Ukraine's Svitolina defeats Russian opponent to reach Australian Open quarterfinals. "I'm really pleased with the performance throughout this tournament," Elina Svitolina said after the match.

I'm not particularly interested in tennis, but the Djokevitch saga about bagging Serbia after her entered Australia illegally in 2022 and then accused the government of poisoning him. What does he expect? #AO #auspol

Happy New Year from Australia.

Home made pasta tonight with fish, home grown chilli's, garlic, tomatoes and white wine. Topped with parmesan. So good.

Enjoyable cricket so far and Konstas has been a revelation. Enjoying him being unorthodox and successful. #cricket #ausvind

Christmas lunch mostly ready. Just three of us this year, but still much love from afar. Happy Christmas everyone.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Christmas eve. We have baked Latvian piragi and piparkukas, potato salad (mostly egg and bacon) and are ready for tonight and tomorrow. Merry Christmas everyone.

Sorted out a weekend in Sydney in March for the opening round. Just worked out how much we spent. 👀 #afl #collingwoodfc

Fun fact. Billionaires use less toilet paper than those on minimum wage. It's not a diet thing. It's just there are 159 billionaires in Australia and as many as 1 million workers on the minimum wage. #auspol
