As an aside, here are more than 600 sets of photos of nature stuff taken by someone at @bunjaree. https://t.co/8bCpZ4CH36

I really must upload mine at some point.

Having a visit from a family of *five* Gang-Gang Cockatoos is exciting!

Today’s critter from @bunjaree: Is it a snail? Is it a slug? It’s Helicarion cuvieri, a “semi-slug”! (Not my photo.)

The craziest thing to me is the way alp guys will just pile on activists and green adjacent types for having opinions, meanwhile me and my bros are out here just being tories, eating caviar, using peasants as foot stools, doing prima nocta - nothing. We're right here.

Well, here's a MOST interesting development: ABC bosses pull Four Corners episode linking PM to QAnon figure https://t.co/fsS0GBXiVY

So what did McKinsey actually get paid $150k a week to do? We still don't really know. These are massive decisions being made right now, and there's very little transparency over what advice is being provided by these consultants, or what they're being paid to do.

Lol “deep-dives” at 10c to 20c a word. I won’t kick off a rant about freelance rates just now. I’ll just say that in the great age of magazines a few decades back a feature was commissioned at $1 a word plus expenses, or about $4 today. Plus fact-checkers and copy editors.

Quoll! Ping @stilgherrian

This is beautiful.

*Good.
Things change quickly ... Banksia Cottage is now booked, but Tea Tree Cottage (couple with room for a child's bed in the loungeroom) is now vacant.

[Bunjaree Cottages @bunjaree]

For various reasons, the floods have caused Easter cancellations in Wattle Cottage (suits a couple) and Banksia Cottage (family). Would love them filled, will offer goid rates!

@annie_parker Thank you!

[Bunjaree Cottages @bunjaree]

@AdrianOHara @Ivyadams I think I'm with you, it would be easier if it weren't in shadow.

A couple of pics from the south end of Tablelands Road. The distant Wild Dog Range looking broody under cloud, and a monitor who surprised me!

This shot of the adult is *much* better! #WildOz

Juvenile king parrot (through a dirty window!) ... #WildOz

Today’s random critter at @bunjaree is this rather stunning jewel beetle. It has a few little raindrops on its back.

[Bunjaree Cottages @bunjaree]

@AdrianOHara By the way, rude of me: Thanks!

[Bunjaree Cottages @bunjaree]

Kangaroo-paw were in profusion at Blackheath today! #WildOz
