Whoah, that’s one hellava bottle tree ❤️👌. Photo found in a pile of old snaps in my mum’s possession. She has no idea who’s in it. Probably taken somewhere near Roma Qld, but can’t be sure. And I’m truly loving old mate’s wardrobe choices second from the right. ❤️😀

Snuggling up coz it’s a bit brrr here this morning... 🥶

We also met this perfect little spiky mate on a recent bush walk.

Resident tawnies clearly thrilled beyond belief to finally have us back home. 😂

Agile wallaby enjoying a feed of casuarina on the beach this morning.

It’s not often I see a beach stone curlew and a bush stone curlew on the same day. Lucky me!

We had a visit from a family of kookaburras. Love little grubby mate in the first pic.

We also met this lovely Agile Wallaby. He/she was much more committed to getting a good feed and checking us out than hopping away.

A friendly leaden flycatcher boy we met on our walk.

More Burdekin Duck pics because I just can’t get enough of these birds. Our native wildlife is so 👌.

Have only seen lovely Burdekin Ducks a few other times before, always couples. These two were walking along the side of the road, so we pulled over and ran back to say hi and take a photo. www.australiangeographic.com.au/creatura-wit...

Half moon Eastern Yellow Robin who then popped around to say hi.

I know I’ve ranted about this LNP state government’s taxpayer-bankrolled advertising spend-fest before, but I think it’s hit peak unbefknlievable with this. Can’t even escape it when I’m in a bloody public toilet now. Guaranteed to give me the shits…

Nothing but grievance by the looks of it. snarkygherkin.substack.com/p/one-nation...

Get involved in National Tree Day, coming up on 26th July, because trees are bloody amazing. nationaltreeday.org.au

Wait so Pauline Trumpson says Hoges is the epitome of the perfect monocultural Australian in her press club speech, then Hoges calls her out on all her bullshit, and now all the Pauline Trumpson fans are out in force sooking hard saying he’s not a real Australian anyway.

Interesting. www.afr.com/politics/fed...

Good point. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Well said, Kos.

Wonder who’s going to cough up the 20 bucks that the op shop wants for this timeless classic?

Well that’s something I guess. Wake up the rest of youse! #auspol

Eyelids drooping… feeling sleepy…

It’s a bit bloody brrrr here this morning 🥶

Good morning

Yes actually I do.

A must-have in my view.

Keeping a low profile.

At the #NPC today, Pauline Hanson doubled down on the allegation the late Tim Fischer had once called her a "witch" and to "burn her at the stake" When pushed, she couldn't recall the evidence. "In some newspaper somewhere" she claimed Here's the quote It was from a man called Terry Andrews 🙄

Pauline Trumpson says she wants a monocultural society - well I’m as white as they come, and I want nothing to do with her vile culture of grievance, division and bigotry.

Amen.

The bush telegraph was going off in one of the lilly pillys in the front yard this morning, usually an indication that a python is visiting - something the miners, butchers and magpies are never happy about. Couldn’t see him/her but the commotion did put the tawnies on medium alert for a while.

If you’re in Brisbane, you should go to this. We went to the last screening and it was bloody great. We’ve actually still got the original DVD, but it was wonderful watching it on the big screen surrounded by a big happy crowd of decent humans. Highly recommended. www.slq.qld.gov.au/whats-on/bus...

Sunday boy

Haha oh dear….

Quick prebrief prior to Saturday night hunting in the ‘burbs.

Good morning from this beautiful bearded lady.

“If you are watching this videotape my Melbourne fundraising dinner has been murdered”

😂 This would technically apply to me, but I’d be prepared to take one for the team… www.betootaadvocate.com/government/

Well I’ll be buggered…who would have thought? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

Coupla little (dry) dudes this morning.

This came up as a featured photo on my phone from last August - a real tonic on such a cold, wet, bleak day!

Pauline Hanson reckons (the late) Tim Fischer once called her a witch and said she should be burned at the stake. That doesn’t sound like something Tim Fischer would have said. Can’t find any reference to it online. Does anyone recall if this actually happened? #auspol

So, so true. Many of us have just had a gutful. A really good World Environment Day read: www.indailysa.com.au/news/opinion...

Ms Tawny has opted to roost on the under-deck clothesline this morning, while her man-companion is in the front yard tree as usual. Unclear why. She is, as ever, her own woman. Look at her beautiful colouring!

Wistful-looking boy this morning.

This whole AUKUS debacle is giving off strong Gordon Farkus energy. #AUKUS #TheBigSteal
