Today I cancelled my subscription to The Age. Accepting front page advertising $$ for hate-filled disinformation from the Trumpet of Patriots is a step too far.

Today is #WorldWetlandsDay. Wetlands are foundational to our shared future, they provide vital ecosystems, & enrich our lives in so many ways. This one, at Tahbilk, makes my heart sing. Let's do everything we can to support them, & their role in healthy Country. #TaungurungCountry #WWD2025

Welcoming 2025, on Taungurung Country. Happy New Year from us, searching for Bogong moths on Mt Torbreck and paddling on Lake Eildon. Let's make it a magnificent year. Be kind, really listen, genuinely grow, and make a positive difference. It's urgent now. #Nature #ClimateAction #Reciprocity

Helpful snake alert sign on the rail trail. Big thanks to those who make the effort to do such things for other riders. Didn't see a snake today, but did pause to watch a lovely, fat, huge Bluetongue lizard cross the trail. #TaungurungCountry

It's the annual Boundary Moment. Between one year & the next. I'm paddling, drifting & reflecting on the water/ land/ sky boundaries. On the boundaries & bridges of ways of being, knowing. On all the things that happened over the past year, & the possibilities of the next. Go well people #Taungurung

How does nature help people & communities recover after disasters? And how do people & communities help nature recover? We've been exploring this powerful feedback loop of reciprocity, and now there are a bunch of resources to help you do it too: www.ari.vic.gov.au/research/peo... #nature

Cicada season in my backyard. I'm still amazed that the nymphs can live underground for up to 7 years. Here comes the sound of summer.

This is genuine collaboration. Inclusive, long term, focused on common goals, bringing diverse views & skills. Congratulations to Tony Fitzgerald & Taungurung Land & Waters Council, creating turtle islands in a Waring lagoon, in partnership with neighbors, PV, GBCMA, DEECA & local boat builders 👏🌿

I'm astounded we don't have a children's book about the hidden beauty & incredible resilience of the Barred galaxias: weird, right? I've written the story, but the next steps have me stumped....

I joined the little bluebird place in 2011, and it was great, for a while. Time for bluer skies though. Looking forward to re/connecting with you all. Thanks for the starter pack @euanritchie.bsky.social
