Pelicans at Mallacoota. Rain on its way.

finally, been wanting to see the Sturt's desert pea somewhere other than a botanical garden or nursery. #outbackaustralia #plants

About time I started writing again. Starting small. #poetry #mywords

Low tide at Cossack, Western Australia #tide #mudflats #outback #coastal

Sunrise at Point Samson with a line of bulk carriers on the horizon. #Sunrise #westernaustralia #indianocean #boat

Osprey watching over the boat ramp at Point Samson. A beautiful part of the world. #birds #birdlifeaustralia #westernaustralia #boatramp

Jane Hume, your tiara is a bit too tight. Straight out of cabinet. Shadow, that is. #auspol

Go Blues, watching in the outback, in the rain. TV failed with 11 minutes left. Came back to camp drenched. My first State of Origin, not sure why there aren't more injuries. I went blue because my bottle light is blue. #stateoforigin #goblues

Gotta love camp book exchanges. When it's too windy to fish, a book is the way to go. Well into the Sam Neill one already. #reading #camping #books

Full moon. It did hide behind the sea mist, so I mist the rise. See what I did? #fullmoon #Australia #exnouthgulf

Feetless little corella. Seems to have adapted well. Has been here at the camp ground for years. #birds #birdlifeaustralia

Watching Tiges in remote WA pub, lots of noisy Eagle fans and me the line Tige. Dressed in my member shirt. #gotiges

Camping, where the 5 second rule blows out to 90 seconds, or more. Of course if it's toast and Vegemite and Vegemite down, it's a pick up and bin. #camping

When camping, it is acceptable to use a fly swat at the breakfast table. 4 in one hit - winning. Even in a strong wind, there's still flies. #camping

First time absentee First time numbering above the line - at home I number all squares. Senate paper, printed out absentee version was so small text, thank goodness went prepared with HTV senate emailed from my electorate. Needed magnifier they supplied. No democracy snag available. #auspol

I've heard a term I had never heard before: Life Style Employment. People, usually backpackers, clean toilets for shit money because the place they work is near a NP. Talk about rip off. Unions aren't welcome.

The appropriate amount of tomato sauce on chippies. #gourmet #Aussie

Shopping in Exmouth #outback #emu #Australia #birds

omg… this is among @thejuicemedia.bsky.social's best… 🥇 …but beware, it's also (appropriately) the sweariest yet. 🙊 www.youtube.com/watch?v=euE8...

Have travelled across the country by road, yep 4,500 ks. Passed many billboards, not one of the lnp ones has dutton or anything about nuclear. First time ever will be voting absentee.

They knew I was coming. Nullabor done.

The first is in a museum, 2nd is mine. When I was 15, Dad bought bus, gave me emblem and sold bus. A favourite possession. #transport

Day 1 of 4 month camping trip, only 4 odd thousand K to our destination.

Covid and flu shots done. Science is good.

Confusion reigns. Or maybe rains, senses are feeling flooded Bought a knockoff gopro, the stuff in the box is overwhelming, all this to try and get a few shots when at Ningaloo. #camera

Clear for take off #pelican

Is it my TV or are Saints playing in sparkly shorts? I do like the look. #saintscats

The stunning bogong moth. Love the frilly edge. Left the window open and moth left after resting a day. #insects

Quite hot but sitting down to silverside and veggies for tea. Salivating. #teatime

Annual Agricultural Show. Fun with daughter and her dog. #gooddog

Yep, and stolen from the net.

You would think this important publication would get place names correct. Portarlington is one word. #boating

Heart rate BP way up. Dealing with Clink is traumatic since Robodebt. I would not be here except for my brud. They went back 7 years, it was horrific. Brud found no debt. Those feelings are back. Today I can transfer to Aged P. Just reading the letter is hard, applied. Can I drink now? #Robodebt

Last few days of camping trip. Cape Nelson Lighthouse. Stunning spot. #Lighthouse

Camping have done for years and never had anything knicked. Last night so scums, yes multiple to carry it, knocked off the hard shell esky. At the beach they would have been pissed, as no grog. Hadn't unpacked that yet. So have a fine time drinking sugar free lemonade. #thieves #camping

Words done. Now can do other stuff, like enjoy camping, except some fuckwit knocked off our full esky. Wordle 1,322 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 ⬜🟨🟨⬜🟨 🟩🟩⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 squareword.org 1096: 10 guesses 🟨🟨🟨🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟩🟨🟨 🟨🟨🟨🟨🟩 <6:🟩 <11:🟨 <16:🟧 16+:🟥 #squareword #squareword1096

So, when are they handing back the Statue of Liberty? It is not a true symbol for the US any more.

Bay is a tad busy. #yachts

MRI yesterday. To distract myself, I worked on counting by prime numbers. Big question was, how the heck did I miss 19?

The view from my campsite in 23, back there soon. Love the outback. #Australia

I pit my trousers on, both legs, without leaning on the wall. Start Friday with a win. #winning

They really are best friends #cats

I do not get sour lollies. They make no sense.

Bubble and Squeak for lunch, yummo. 😋😋 #boxingday #food
