What a perpetually whiney aircraft JST057 A321-251NX BNE - DPS. This flight has a unique sound, the CFM LEAP-1A engines apparently have a high bypass ratio particularly during take-off & climb. Seems like it was engineered to whine over the Suburbs. Imagine designing a whine free engine 🙄

Heat wave in Brisbane Queensland today, make sure water bowls are out for the little birdies. This little Pied Butcher Bird baby is bathing a lot. Most of the birds are taking long drinks, now the gutters & other suburban water catchments are drying up.

VH-UQC 31 year old Fokker overhead. A Fokker 70, then 2 Fokker 100s, their Rolls Royce Turbines have such a particular whine one gets to appreciate how a massive A350 overhead is so less invasive. Another LOUD VH-UQN Fokker 100, 33 years old. #BNE #Flightpath

Your regular reminder that the COVID pandemic is NOT over. Please use language accordingly. Don’t refer to ‘during the pandemic’ or ‘post-COVID’ or ‘since COVID’. We are still in the thick of it - wave after wave. People are still dying or becoming disabled from Long COVID

It is true that the sub judice contempt rule needs to be reformed as it is out of step with modern digital reality, however in the meantime the best way to ensure Alan Jones gets a trial at all (let alone a fair one) is to shut up about the criminal charges against him.

After 12 hours of International Aircraft departing BNE during the Night, the Airbus A350 I find is the least intrusive. More like air rushing past with the Turbine not as prominent as other aircraft. The morning Aero Commander 500S Departure sound reminds one of the Lockheed Constellation, same era

A Pied Butcher Bird was ensnared on a tree branch 20m up. It did not make sense, it looked like fishing line had the poor little fellow. 20m up on the end of a tree limb. @RSPCAQLD attended & organised an amazing Tree climber to drop the tree limb carefully. Kite cord & wire years old. Bird Lives.

The interesting times do not last after a short while what once enthralled becomes commonplace horrible (yes, still horrible) but now simply normal the curse should not be “may you live in interesting times” but rather: may you live to grow accustomed to the interesting times.

When Rocco opens his restaurant on the Gold Coast QLD its so worth a visit. We just had his Ravioli from the West End Markets, which he's retiring from for Restaurant setup. His food is delicious. I am an ex marketeer & Rocco's market food has been the best for Saturday nights. #justsaying

Older generations, for the love of God stop telling the young generation “it’s terrible but that’s just the way it is.” That may have been true in our youth but your children are networked in an unprecedented way which has already resulted in massive social changes.
