This is our Principle Project Officer Holly. She's earning the name #MotherOfDragons because of her frequent encounters rescuing reptiles like these 2 from the road. Holly studied Zoology & Wildlife Conservation at @jcu so she's trained for such handling. Safe lizards - Bravo! 🦎

[Queensland Fire Department @QldFireDept]

How special is this? Assistant Commissioners Megan Stiffler and Joanne Greenfield received these cards from students at the The Summit State School, thanking all the emergency services for their work fighting the fires in Stanthorpe.

[Queensland Police @QldPolice]

When police & firies have to respond to unconfirmed media & community FB page reports of houses destroyed, it can drain resources as we urgently check & ultimately wastes our time. We will keep you updated & our agencies are the point of truth. Don't share unconfirmed information

Assistant Commissioner @QldFES briefing Stanthorpe community re fire. Ground crews have contained the fire. Fantastic job under extremely difficult weather conditions.

[Invasive Species Council @ISCAustralia]

Fantastic to learn from Kristy Gooding @LGAQ about local govt biosecurity initiatives. @SouthernDowns Council’s invasives program is stand-out example #biosecuritypartners https://t.co/mCSM9rSOev

Thanks to @BiosecurityQld for speaking to council staff about all things invasive plants and animals #bushcouncils2019

Please make sure when accepting hay from outside the Southern Downs to ask where the hay comes from and what weeds exist in those areas. Charities and business providing free hay do good work, but we can't take the hay is weed free for granted. #invasivepestcontrolscheme #mysdrc

[Craig Magnussen @CraigMagnussen]

@DingoResearch @lilyvaneeden @EuanRitchie1 @BronFancourt @BenAllenDingo Yes, still widely used in Qld with easier access advocated by one peak body.

@BecJames31 @weedsocietyqld Hi Bec, no, all contributions welcomed!

[Weed Society of QLD @weedsocietyqld]

The Symposium theme is all about partnering, whether it be state and local government, researchers and operations or the community and industry, we can have a greater impact on pest animals and weeds if we all “get on board”.
