My first day of retirement from the Department of Education after 40 years of service following a period of leave due to ongoing health issues. Proud of my contribution and achievements, that includes 19 years as a specialist school principal. An immensely challenging but rewarding role.

Just back from a long week-end in Mildura, Victoria's tropical north. Loved learning about the amazing role Fergie tractors played in 1956 during the highest recorded Murray River flood.

Treaty, It's Here. Debate starts in VIC parliament today. Share and show your support for Australia’s first Treaty 🖤💛❤️ #TreatyForVictoria

People seemed to like that earlier shot I posted of the red-rumped parrot about to have a drink at Lake Hattah. So, here's another - with his beak in the water 🙂

Retiring earlier than planned due to ill health (inherited disease) also means less super😔

Like a bee to a flaming flower I do love honey bees and bees in general but I’m always on the lookout for new subjects so I neglect these beauties. Nikon Z8 and Z105mm SS1/2500 F5.6 ISO3200 #bees #bee #honey #nature #beekeeper #flowers #honeybee #macro #pollinators #insects #pollen #insect

A sad Geelong Cats fan today. 😂 As for Snoop Dog. The pre-game performance was okay, but with the price of admission, I don't appreciate the AFL engaging someone with his particular personal and political views.

Vaccines don’t cause autism. Tylenol (acetaminophen) doesn’t cause autism. Miniscule trace pesticide residues don’t cause autism. Aluminum doesn’t cause autism. Fluoride doesn’t cause autism. The biggest predictor of autism? Genetics. And we recognize autism better today. 1/

My dad was a market gardener and loved growing orchids when he retired. Miss him this Father's Day.

A Crimson Rosella is a brilliantly colored parrot with striking red plumage and distinct splashes of cobalt blue on its cheeks and sometimes its wings. Native to eastern and southeastern Australia.

Completed a Harvard online course with my leadership team during Covid-19 and found it inspiring. Was particularly impressed with their emphasis on equity and the diverse range of contributing lecturers. So pleased to be associated with a University that has not bent the knee to Trump.

After what's been quite a trying week for me I want to repost this last one. 🎵 Love is in the air 🎵 Rainbow lorikeets on my balcony. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekZforZoology #nature #birds
