Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness 😭😭😭🧡🧡🧡🧡

And here was I forgetting the garnish. Bob had to get his own coriander tonight, the poor pup

I've just found the best hack. Swear in your search request. It's a great way to bypass the AI summary and make your search history look like you're chronically pissed off at everything!

You can say that it’s a fascist or Nazi salute because *it is*. Complicated, I know.

Great to see more folk from #tasmania still arriving here every day! Here are two starter packs of Tasmanian users that might help you find some familiar faces. These links can also be shared on other platforms to encourage folk to make the move over here! go.bsky.app/Dhstko4 go.bsky.app/QdK7iXR

My phone is an ancient potato which can’t do night photos so it picks up not much more than the naked eye. View from my balcony tonight is therefore pretty much this #aurora #realisticaurora #stilldamncool #auroraaustralis

View of night sky over a nearby mountain, there’s a distinct green glow shooting up and as a curtain of light. It gets purplish above that, and moody clouds hang over it all in the foreground

Green and purple glow reaching high into the night sky. It’s muted but beautiful

Let these furry tanks mark your new year with cubes of joy #wombat

Sandy-blond wombat nibbling on grass, it’s an especially furry and adorable tank of a creature

Light brown wombat in the foreground nibbling around convict (?) bricks in the grass. A small heritage cottage stands on the hill in the background, looking out over pristine turquoise sea. Mainland Lutruwita/Tasmania is visible across the passage in the distance

Bracing for the crowds for NYE* *crowds of wombats and cape barren geese #tasmania #lutruwita #NYE

Turquoise water, white sand, blue sky, only one small heritage cottage. It’s Maria Island in Lutruwita/Tasmania, home to abundant wildlife and no population of humans.

Not pictured: the leftover limoncello and raspberry trifle I had for breakfast, eaten out of a teacup, with extra custard. Hello Boxing Day, you cheeky minx

I can see why humans have always been so keen on getting together to feast. That’s a good time.

Can’t believe we had to share this with THREE PEOPLE today. Summer crowds, amirite? #Tasmania #Lutruwita #beach #summer

Vivid blue summer sky over a completely empty surf beach. Wide shot, no humans, barely even a cloud. Tasmania is awful, never come here

Promise I wasn’t using it when I took this photo but here’s the new view from my loo. A touch of Never Come Here courtesy of @kudelka.bsky.social

Facing the wall opposite the toilet, there’s a red hand towel on a railing and above it is a framed red bathing cap illustrated by cartoonist Jon Kudelka with a Tasmanian devil, the creature he uses on his tea towels telling people Tasmania is awful never come here

Watched a Rhys Nicholson Christmas special while I wrapped presents last night. Rhys is just charming and hilarious without fail. I reckon I’d be entertained watching them wait in a GP clinic.

the correct way to pronounce "pantomime" is "panto" because the mime is silent

On the 15th day of Christmas, my dear friend gave to me: one golden Tucci! What’s the least creepy place I should put this? #christmas #advent @stanleytuccireal.bsky.social

A mate told me he walked 50km in a day hiking OS, I was in awe, I said that's like walking from Hobart to...how far's Kempton? checked a map and it’s 49km. I have never been so proud of myself. Suddenly I’m prouder of me guessing the distance than I was of him for walking it in a day

What’s the last thing which made you feel irrationally proud of yourself?

The second-best time to love camping is when you are at home and the power goes out before you’ve had a coffee. To the gear cupboard!

My friend and I have made each other advent calendars. I don’t know what I was expecting on day one but it wasn’t a cat-whisker wreath. This is up there with the song where the true love keeps turning up with all the live birds. #christmas #advent #bestkindofbonkers
