@EmMasters White crocs? Not just a resident, looks like you’ve run into the mayor!

@VickiKerrigan @Twitchathon @BirdlifeOz @NTBirdTours Yep, just near Sabine shops. Our neighbour pointed it out, we’d been oblivious. Then we couldn’t not hear it.

[Rick Hind @RickHind]

@VickiKerrigan @Twitchathon @BirdlifeOz @NTBirdTours It’s a brush cuckoo. We’ve had one in our rain tree for a fortnight. Apparently they’re also called storm birds, and they arc up when the humidity jumps and the rain rolls in. I thought ours was distressed too, but an expert to us it’s just doing its thing.

@lizzytrevaskis Don’t watch Speed with a lift mechanic. “That’s not how counterweights work!” Or, I’m guessing, a bus driver. Fun flick tho!

[Rick Hind @RickHind]

@Samjonscher @WIM_Aus Congrats Sam! Great to see all your yarns coming out of Alice.

@james_findlay What about the one where other people can get into the studio, no problem, but I can’t?

Listen in🎧
Peter spoke to @RickHind at @abcdarwin about the lack of affordable rental properties in the NT, the need for a national housing & homelessness strategy with teeth & the https://t.co/NCybXHYWcv website.

@lizzytrevaskis The latter, unless you’re singing a Fugees song. Same job, two words shorter. Also, it’s scone, cream, jam. You end up with more jam. Blackberry or Raspberry.

@Isk137 @BreakfastNews @SciNate @MaddocksThomas @fauziah_ibrahim NT represent!

I just remember that episode where Peter Cundall pruned a lemon tree to within an inch of its life. He yelled “Somebody stop me!” Nobody did.

@StoryProjects @BirdLifeTopEnd @birdsinbackyard @birdsaustralian @abcdarwin @NTnewspaper Crikey! It's a Hitchcock movie!

[Rick Hind @RickHind]

@jo_laverty @abcnews @abcdarwin Such a beautiful yarn Jo. Could listen to Verity all day.

[Rick Hind @RickHind]

@ryanegan It really is! But only the long version with the break in the middle, which rarely gets on the radio.

[Rick Hind @RickHind]

@jadeetoomey “My most humiliating story” used to feel humiliating, now it’s just part of the show. Your chats with Jo sound great! “Hey, the voices on the radio are people too!”

In a huge development to this story, survivors of child sexual abuse at Darwin's Retta Dixon Home will now be eligible to access compensation under the National Redress Scheme. Credit to the brave people who spoke to the ABC to bring this story to light. https://t.co/yvSitV278Y

@Samjonscher Lovely yarn Sam.

[Rick Hind @RickHind]

@emmahaskin @abcnews @_AlexBarwick The holy grail of outback vision. Beautiful shots Emma!

[Rick Hind @RickHind]

@BLittlewood9 Someone wrote an academic paper calling it “the phatic finger” which ABC Darwin did a yarn on a few years back. Unsurprisingly, it tends to pop up once you’re 200km from the big smoke. https://t.co/hVgOKyGNpt

Don’t miss @CharlieKing1057 on Conversations with Richard Fidler this morning. It’s been an honour to work with him on Territory Grandstand this year.

[Rick Hind @RickHind]

@senorschubert Zactly! There’s the cafe, the souvenir shop, and the newsagent, and, the cafe again, this time for a beer. Ooh, and outside on the smokers’ lawn! Tic.. toc.. Bugger it, I will buy that surfing magazine! And the massage chairs? Nah, too self-conscious.
