Rounding out our Adelaide food odyssey was Restaurant Botanic. Stunning food, perfect presentation and balance, showcased Australian produce beautifully. Very hard to fault. Must be in the frame for 3 Michelin Stars. #finedining

This is how one president traveled to and from difficult and dangerous places... USS Quincy took Roosevelt from and back to the US for the Yalta Conference at the end of WW2. As for the hiding in a catering container one...

Extremely proud of my University, UNSW, for developing this strategy. Supporting ex-serving members and their families is crucial to their wellbeing and helping the sometimes difficult process of transition out of the ADF.

Struggling against the misanthropic urge to cheer on humanity's destruction via insane wars and climate catastrophe. How can we be so fucking dumb as a species? But here is my cat, maybe they'll survive the apocalypse... (almost certainly not).
