Celebrating amazing Women In Engineering @QUT today!

@leanneharveyqut @QUT This is so great to see. Quite an engineering accomplishment. The 2011 floods were quite disruptive - even though they were well before the start of semester. Fingers crossed these floodgates will help us get back on our feet sooner.

@BiosecurityQld @QldFarmers Good point. It was difficult to tell (owing to it being quite squashed) I will be on the lookout this weekend.

[A/Pro Karen Vella @k_vella]

@QldFarmers @BiosecurityQld I’m pretty sure I squashed one in my gardening glove on the weekend (tucked into one of the fingers - ewww!). It was on the Gold Coast hinterland (Tamborine Mountain). They seem to be be everywhere here.
