Just been out counting #koalas in the local reserve. Saw 15. Here's 3 mums with joeys, plus one without.

Koala cresting in a tree, back to the camera, joey visible peeking around.

Koala on a tree branch, joey snuggled in.

He's been predicting real estate doom for a couple of decades now..... My favourite was the "covid collapse" of 25%. Hmm. #auspol

There's no mystery in why PHON is suddenly getting media attention. Handon's very good for certain Australians..... the ones worth billions. #auspol

Meanwhile, at Chris Dore's West Australian, where everything is a culture war... how it started, how it's going. #WharfieTime #AFL

It's rare to see the launch of a new curse in Australian sports, especially at the single biggest event on the calendar, but #WharfieTime is here for the ages.

Just thinking about last summer, when I was working in a small shed all day before I noticed this tiger #snake was keeping me company. I said, hey, how about I knock off for the day and come back tomorrow and you toddle off too? And we did. *Enough venom on board to kill about 10-20 people.

This guy says even though he was injured, God saved him..... so why didn't God just stop the missile from hitting his plane? Would have been a lot cheaper.

14th suburban #koala spotted today..... might even be a 15th but it would be rude to ask if that's a joey in the pouch.

Here's the problem for journalists. Trying to parse meaning from the ramblings of a person with dementia. Hint. There is none.

NAZA: 24 Israeli soldiers sit on Tel Aviv rooftops, sharing how they killed entire families, thousands of people, in Gaza. These testimonies appear in NAZA, a film that premiers in Venice today. Here are the directors, explaining why they made the film: www.972mag.com/naza-exposin...

New: Billionaire Clive Palmer has met three times with Queensland’s conservative premier in just over a year, most recently after renaming his Waratah Coal company, whose plan for a major mine and power station was knocked back by the former Labor govt. Neither explained why.

Clive Palmer rebranded his coal firm then met the Qld premier – again

Queensland’s richest man, a serial election contender, has complicated ties to the LNP. That hasn’t stopped him getting an audience with David Crisafulli.

"divert superannuation to pay" Well then it ain't superannuation anymore. It's pay. And it'll get taxed, worn down by inflation, get added to prices... The 'biscuit now' types will approve. #auspol

35c forecast in Brisbane tomorrow. That will equal the all time record for the first week of September. These lunatics, believing they can control what they're unleashing. #ClimateChange

Nick @knockaboutwok.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

This is fine. Wait. No. It's very bad. Only the 5th time a T above 33c has been recorded in the first week of September and all of them since 2019. #ClimateChange #Brisbane

Nothing to see here. Just 4 consecutive days > 30c in a month that averages 0.5 days over 30c. If you look at the geological record, you'll see how rapidly and non linearly climate flips. We don't have a switch to flip it back, we can't just undo it once it runs away. #ClimateChange

33c in the first week of September. Way above normal maximums. Delightful beach weather, tourist operators will be thrilled. Personally, I'm a little concerned, #ABCNews.

youtu.be/WJsWWTpagUQ?... 30/8 is International Day of the Disappeared. "The General Assembly of the UN adopted a Declaration on the Protection of all Persons from Enforced Disappearance as R 47/133 on December 18, 1992. It is estimated that secret imprisonment is practiced in about 30 countries"

I recall the Queensland state election of 1998 when PHON got 22% of the vote and 11 seats and....none of them lasted the term (as PHON).

I was up one of my jackfruit trees doing some fruit management when I noticed one of the resident juvenile butcherbirds just hanging out in my presence, doing a little preening. Nice. #birds

One of life's small pleasures. Taking the feed out to my tiny backyard dinosaurs in the morning. (Bring it in and out daily to discourage rats) They get a quality crumble feed plus a treat to start the day. Today, cooked brown rice among the remnants of yesterday's cabbage leaves. #poultry

Half a dozen ISA Brown hens gather round a container of rice

Oh, they'll be back. Along with all the passenger pigeons that moved to Canada in the 1890s. Maybe with a Tasmanian Tiger or two, from the time just after the bounty was lifted.

Article and headline barely related. I note that Brisbane housing is up 14% in the last 12 months. A 20% drop would take us all the way back to July 2024. #auspol
