A cute Rakali (Hydromys chrysogaster) aka native Australian water rat, having a dragonfly for lunch down at the Kingston Foreshore 😍🐀 #environment

UPDATE
#Swan that was #shot in the head whilst sat on her nest in Thatcham has been reunited with her mate. She had surgery to remove the shot from the base of her skull. She has recovered very well. The video is the first moments of their reunion.

Spectacular rock formations at Bouddi National Park on the central coast. The tiled look is known as “tessellated pavement” and caused by the shrinking and expanding of the sandstone #environment

Australia Day means different things to different people. For me, it’s a chance to acknowledge the past, recognise the present, and hope for the future.

It begins with this simple fact:

The history of Australia doesn’t date back to 1788. It dates back 65,000 years.

Australia invaded by a superpower! A brilliant defence perspective on climate change...

The original plan for the National Library of Australia included additional wings for optional later expansion. The space on either side of the main building is still free. With a half-Billion proposed for further War Memorial expansions, I know where I’d rather the $ go. #auspol

Listen to the experts. Especially this one.

A word from Queanbeyan Fire and Rescue: #auspol #NSWbushfires

This is a wise and thoughtful essay by fire ecologist David Bowman, explaining why Australians need to rearrange their holiday calendar. I agree. https://t.co/NOWBQDveLK

The thing about “post-truth”politics is that while words can be used to deflect reality, reality usually finds a way to catch up. This applies to all manner of historical scenarios & I suspect it’s happening right now to Australian climate deniers/ditherers. #NSWbushfires #auspol

We’re excited to announce #Earthshotprize, a decade of action to repair the earth. Will you help us solve earth’s greatest problems?

I agree @c_s_wallace I’ve never known a PM refuse to go out in the field during a disaster and comfort the nation through the individuals who are suffering. And the media doesn’t seem to be curious about it either.

Honestly wondering, what IS wrong with #ScottMorrison? No normal human reactions are coming from him. It is actually bizarre. Please explain. #auspol #AustraliaBurns 🔥🔥🔥

AQI across Canberra has been hovering between 1,000 and 1,400 for 24 hours. For perspective, when New Delhi hit global headlines last month for its unprecedented air pollution levels, it's AQI was 900. Beijing often sits in the 100-150 range. #Canberra #Smoke #NSWfires

Pretty exciting to see the Deputy Secretary of Defence E&IG, Steve Grzeskowiak, use a project example at the Defence Estate & Base Services Summit that I worked on with the Dept of Defence #admdebs19

I noticed African Architecture isn’t really showcased compared to Asian, European, Middle Eastern and Indian.

So here is a thread of African Architectural styles.

An Australian scene if ever I saw one - a couple of very cute Crimson Rosellas (Platycerus elegans) on our Hills Hoist on a frosty #Canberra morning #Australia
