Oh g'day there Alfred, what you doing there mate? You haven't been talking to the cops have ya mate?

I introduced my lovely wife to #Severance, and we were going to watch s2 together (rare that we like the same stuff), but we're so busy that I've been stuck at episode 2 for weeks, waiting for her, avoiding spoilers... then I found out she sneaked in a few episodes when she travelled last weekend 😂😂

It's a bit damp here. Many roads are flooded. Bus services cancelled. Taxis, police and ambulance are being impeded by flood waters. Crocodiles are showing up in the urban drainage lakes. Take care everyone, and stay out of the water. #Townsville www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/news/townsvi...

A male elegant rainbow skink, very curious as to what I was doing, but not really scared. Magnetic island #wildoz

Trying to take a photo of a beautiful tephrosia flower and this green ant did not approve. Definitely giving me the side-eye #wildoz #bugsky #insects

you don't need to over think it. the guy boosts a far-right german party. he all but endorsed great replacement theory. he took over a platform and turned it into the home for online hate. he does the salute twice, but that really doesn't matter. we already know who he is

In the space of 14 months we've lost Angelo Badalamenti and now David Lynch, two artists fundamental to what minimal aesthetic sensibility I possess and who have given me thousands of hours of artistic, emotional and intellectual fuilfilment, of an exquisite intensity unrivaled by any other artists

What a series. Test cricket is the greatest format and to think it's only getting stronger #AUSvIND

Chasing 162 feels like 280 on this pitch, I don't need this stress lol #ausvind

I always revisit albums that rank highly on end of year lists, thinking maybe I just didn't "get it" at the time, but later realising no, it is the children who are wrong #metalsky

Am I alone in hoping for a slightly slower day in the cricket? It's not happening though, let's be honest. I just want to savour what's left of the test summer #ausvind

Green tree ants starting a new home build in North Queensland. Incredible teamwork #wildoz #bugsky #ausinverts #insects

I was thinking of building one of those frog hotels out of PVC pipe but it looks like these guys already made their own 😂 #wildoz #frogs

A pale triangle (great jay) butterfly visiting our young custard apple tree. You can see a single small white egg on the edge of the leaf as it departs #butterflies #wildoz

A summer storm rolls in, but for this Cairns Birdwing caterpillar, there's no time to waste: there are vines to be eaten #butterflies #caterpillars #wildoz
