What’s not to love about this sweet local nectar? Raw and unfiltered honey form our @BlueMountainsBG Tastes like butterscotch. Finally have bee hives here producing honey for sale at our Visitors Centre.

Small lake formed in a wind scour on Mt Henderson near Mawson Station #Antarctica; on sunny days, heat from the rocks creates a cycle of melting and refreezing of the lake’s surface https://t.co/icjh5l3dQZ pic Trent Nichols @AusAntarctic

How climate change will cause more simultaneous disasters. We need act now. We need to stop saying "we need to" and actually ACT. Write to politicians, cut down your own footprint, talk about climate change. Time is running short. https://t.co/sdOMLjJlLl via @SBSNews

“A mission made possible”– you are 72 years old, it’s a cold, wet winters night in Orange. You are hoping that someone will allow you to sleep on their couch for the night. Skip 6 months you have won several local awards &announced the winner of Community Spirit &Inclusion Award.

A Lemon of unusual size? Nope! It’s a Citron (Citrus medica) Not sure which member of the @RBGSydney Horticulture Staff left it in the lunch room but you could smell its sweet fragrance the moment you walked in.
