This is Murujuga National Park, site of the largest collection of rock art carvings in the world. The oldest depiction of a human face anywhere in the world is HERE. The LATEST dated specimens here are hundreds of years older than the Pyramids. This is Gondwanalands history, encapsulated.🧵

A thread 🧵 about birds and helicopters and gas.

Misinformation is probably one of the most significant weapons of mass destruction in the world today. It's impossible to know what is and isn't real any more, so we give up, and believe whatever makes us comfortable, becoming ever more polarised and angry, as a species.

Been humbled and amazed reading some of the local history across the Kimberleys on this trip, and the shameless exploitation of First Nations people. The pearling industry in Broome was among the worst, with over 50 years of legalised blackbirding and indentured Malay & Koepang (Timorese) workers 🧵

The Kimberley beaches at low tide are alive, it's not just the sand bubbler crabs endlessly constructing their Sisyphean sculpture patterns before the next high tide. Every other rock seems to harbour another animal making the most of their mini wet & dry seasons.

Mundoo Island is in the middle of The Coorong at the mouth of the Murray River, fresh water one side, salt water the other. Quite a unique environment, but also how cool must it be to witness and photograph a tiger snake catching fish in salt water? 😳

Haha, gotcha. Large language model AI is a tool for flattery and foolery, not for serious research. It lies, admits it lies, and makes up excuses like a card-carrying narcissist.

It’s never been about the farmers has it Barnaby.

Today is World Sawfish Day. There are only 5 species of these very unique critters in the world, ALL are highly endangered, and 4 of those 5 sub-species are unique to Australia - including the biggest ones, native to Martuwarra - the mighty Fitzroy River in WA's Kimberley. 🌏

The Wet season in the Kimberley is approaching fast. Huge electrical storms are building everywhere daily now, and the skies are dramatic. 1 am and it rolls across the dry flats, driving dust storms before it, lightning going in every direction, cloud to cloud, and upwards, which I've never seen.🧵

Multi-hued clouds in the Kimberley skies over the iconic Derby jetty, looking west towards the Mary Islands, during the buildup to the Wet 🌩

There's a network of campsites called Camping With Custodians across the north of Western Australia. Staying on Country with its traditional custodians, observing first hand some of the oldest cultures in the world. Today, at the gorgeous Lombadina community, it's been an eventful day. 🧵

It's the topic everyone in Canberra is talking about and now thanks to ChaserBet, you can win big on this bizarre story!

This is Ardyaloon, on the saltwater country of the Bardi and Jarwi peoples, at the tip of the Dampier Peninsula 210km north of Broome WA. It's hard to put into words how stunning this place is, and it is an incredible privilege to be graciously permitted to visit here. 🩵 #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe

Unashamedly reposting here the glorious Instagram content of @brookepykephoto 🩵

The Dampier Peninsula north of Broome is deeply spiritual country for the Jabirr Jabirr people. There are still taboo areas here that are off limits for ALL humans. The fierce snake spirit Walmadan protects the James Price Point area, it just feels sensible to tread very lightly here🧵

The azure tides of Broome's Roebuck Bay in the Yawuru Nagulagun Marine Park expose over 170km² of mudflats at low tide. This is the world's richest known intertidal wetland 🐦‍⬛ More than a third of Australia's total bird species list frequent this bay region, which is Ramsar-listed since 1991 🧵

Good morning, it's flat out on Nyangumarta country today 🦎

Just another day in a colony where state capture and corruption are normalised. “One of the leaders of a $30 million study into the impact of industrial emissions on rock art in WA's north has accused the government of misrepresenting his findings.” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Around 180km east of Marble Bar WA the Gregory Ranges rise. The east side of them is the start of the Great Sandy Desert. Daytime temperatures are around 40⁰ at the moment. And just this side of the ranges,on the Oakover River, is a waterhole called Karuwayinya, on the country of the Nyamal people🧵

There is a deep waterhole in the Millstream National Park on the Fortescue River called Nhanggangunha. Home of the Yindjibarndi peoples sacred Warlu serpent, this 3km long pool has a feature I've never seen before - in its entire 6km perimeter there is not ONE single metre of shallow bank.🧵

This is Minhthukundi, on the country of the Banjima people, in WA's Karijini National Park. The spectacular Banded Iron Formation rock formations here look like some broadscale Salvador Dali landscape art project. The cliff colours are equally stunning, even in 40⁰C heat. #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe

This is Ngirribungunha, in the Karijini National Park WA, on land the Banjima people have lived on continuously for 20 000 years. This oasis in the Pilbara landscape is incredible, the vegetation in the deep gorge in total contrast to the harsh spinifex country 80m above. 🧵

Was getting raptured but the escalator stopped

Me thinks we need a Special Envoy for transparency.

Came across this stark photo yesterday, taken by NASA's Sentinel-2, of Lake Alexandrina SA in early 2023, where it empties into the Southern Ocean. The floods across the 1 million km² Murray Darling Basin in 2022 dumped 33 000 tonnes of nutrient-laden sediment into the ocean at Long Bay SA🧵

We can’t afford to fix housing, but there’s always money for tanks and cops.

Australias federal Labor government is bidding for Adelaide to host the UN Conference Of Parties (COP) on Climate Change in 2026 Potentially more than 10 000 international delegates will be getting a grim illustration of Labors lip service to addressing climate change www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

Very inelegant but the best I can do in English in my language it sounds much better

If they’re after suggestions, I have one: scrap the GST on food and utilities. theaimn.net/25-years-on-...

The HAFF is a magic pudding that doesn't go around the table even once.

"The Labor right faction will likely spring up to claim victory, believing its poor ideas like AUKUS, support for Israel, insufficient housing and cost of living measures, and meagre economic and tax reforms can sit like proud jewels in its policy tiara" 🔥 theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Cook is an appalling failure on environmental issues, completely owned by the St. Georges Tce vested interests of Woodside and Chevron. There's a clear reason why WA has no 2050 Net Zero commitment, as extraction from the NorthWest Shelf and Scarborough fields is set to continue until 2070.

Can Albanese and Wong please explain to Australia what the difference is between Russia waging war to take over land it does not have any legal right to, and Israel waging war to take over land it does not have any legal right to?

Four environmentalists performed a “banner drop” over the south bound lanes of the Mitchell Freeway this morning at Greenwood. Banners read: “Extinction is forever” And “Save the black cockatoos Support a Federal EPA” My congratulations to all involved in trying to save our endangered species.

Drove past the KBESS recently, the footprint is tiny compared to the Muja power station and associated mine pits. reneweconomy.com.au/australias-b...

Bremer Bays most famous attraction eating their way through the Southern Ocean wildlife. Must have been quite an experience being on board the boat, watching 50 orcas in a coordinated attack. 🐋 thewest.com.au/news/albany-...

Will be visiting the Ningaloo Reef in October for the 3rd time in 24 months. Expecting to see some grim changes. The coral species diversity is already shrinking noticeably, and algaes are taking over around the inshore sections around Coral Bay. theconversation.com/reality-chec...

I scrolled back multiple times on this, to listen to certain points 2 or 3 times. No.10 says it most clearly: BELIEVE IN TRUTH To abandon facts is to abandon freedom

what do i need to do to stop seeing or hearing gambling ads. it's not even a moral high ground thing, i am just so fucking sick of hearing copy written by private school marketing freaks trying to cosplay as middle australia blokes. do i need to start gambling so i stop getting targeted help

I can’t quite believe that Albo is so inept he’s actually a really good chance to lose to one of the most uninspiring, unintelligent, untrustworthy, uncaring and unelectable potential PM’s in political history.

The comments on ABCs facebook page on this story reflect the scale of the misinformation and fossil fuel industry campaigns on that app. The amount of wilful ignorance about renewable energy and storage systems is depressing. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

In case it’s unclear, the LNP, Labor, Pauline Hanson’s One Nation & Trumpet of Patriots are all in the ecocidal end of the spectrum.

This is absolutely devastating. Ningaloo-based photographer @brookepykephotography shared these images of extensive bleaching in the Ningaloo World Heritage Area this week. 🧵

The government's media unit energetically pumping out press ops about Ukraine, and saving Whyalla. And meanwhile quietly signing the Death Warrant for the Ningaloo Reef and the Rowley Shoals ☠️
