Isn't she glorious! She has just set up home outside my door. She's a St Andrew's Cross spider. You will notice that she has a unique style of web-making. It looks like she could actually write words. So, I am naming her Charlotte!

#News: #COP16's great promise concluded in confusion. Experts pointed to a lack of leadership from #EU, China, #Canada and #Australia to arrest the #biodiversity crisis. One watershed moment was the inclusion of #indigenous representation in the UN's biodiversity process. Consensus in decision-making was weak and inadequate #ClimateActionNow #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

I just realized I haven't shared sandstone #photos. Sandstone is fascinating and #beautiful and forms various crazy shapes. Endless possibilities for both large and small scale #photography. Photo is titled 'Among the Waves'.

Sorry yall I don't want to use this place as a sort of "look at how amazing my life is" Instagram, but I just wanted to let yall know that the Cook Islands were incredible, that I just woke up to free pancakes in my hostel on Bondi and that I'll be petsitting a lovely dog and cat in Sydney for a month 😊 #travel #australia #sydney


My life is complete now 🙂 🇦🇺 #quakkas #australia

Can somebody help me understand this please: why would we ever give out carbon credits for not chopping down a forest? “Here’s a forest we shouldn’t cut down anyway. Because we’re not cutting it down, now you can burn more fossil fuels!”

The Global #Slavery Index shows #Australia risks importing billions of commodities incl. #palmoil linked to #humanrights abuses. Story via @Greens.

I took this photo last year at Curtain Fig National Park in #Australia.

This spectacular strangler fig is nearly 165 ft (50m) tall, with a trunk circumference of 128ft (39m) & estimated to be >500 years old! #nature


#Wikimedia #Australia (@wm_au) and the State Library of Queensland announced their First Nations Wikipedian in Residence, Bianca Valentino, to improve the representation of #FirstNations music and musicians on #Wikipedia!

"...herds of giant wombats as large as rhinoceros roamed southern #Australia" When you post something cute that turns into Night of Lepus real fast.


I just spotted my first wombats in the wild on Cradle Mountain in Tasmania.

These stocky little marsupials sort of look like a cross between a baby brown bear, koala & pig. They have a pouch like other marsupials, but it’s backwards which prevents dirt from entering as they burrow.

At just over 3 ft long, they’re absolutely charming. But millions of years ago, herds of giant wombats as large as rhinoceros roamed southern #Australia. #wildlife #photography #SharedPlanet


I refuse to believe this place is even real.

Be thankful you’re not in #Australia - we have the most ridiculous, over-zealous #defamation legislation (laws) in the world and people are frequently sued over the most trivial things, no matter how small they may be… Most of the time, the “defamed” party is successful. A case like this one in Australia would almost certainly see *you* coming off second-best, even though this #scammer is *clearly* in the wrong here…


Steam Deck:
Can't work out the logistics to ship to #Australia.

Nintendo Switch:
Ships new models to Australia almost immediately.

And don't give me the 'money' argument - a quick search shows that #ValveSoftware is worth about US$10 billion, whilst #Nintendo is worth about US$13 billion, so it's not *that* much of a difference... Our #gaming market is also larger than many of the countries the #SteamDeck is currently available in now.


Unless you know, you're located in #Australia... In which case, the Steam Deck is *not* a thing. #Linux #SteamDeck


"Our newly published research found backyard hens’ eggs contain, on average, more than 40 times the lead levels of commercially produced eggs. Almost one in two hens in our Sydney study had significant lead levels in their blood. Similarly, about half the eggs analysed contained lead at levels that may pose a health concern for consumers."

Peeps in #, you might be interested in signing this petition to make access to Australian standards easier and more affordable - a bit of a no-brainer, really.

Any idea what this spiky plant is?
Fruit has thin tough skin, spongey/crisp flesh (like a lillypilly), lots of seeds, no distinctive smell (just vegetative).

No idea of taste, since I’m not eating random red fruit found on a bush that given the spikes, is clearly designed not to be eaten.
