Based on historical trends, South Africa is a certainty to win the first #Cricket test match. Sure, they're chasing 400+ on day 5 with 4 wickets down but this is absolutely where the Aus team chokes....for decades.

I took part in the White's Hill #koala survey today. (Brisbane metro zone) Excellent turnout, 120 people in groups covering the area. We spotted 67. Last one we did we saw 45. Maybe we're getting better at spotting, maybe there's a few more. *Older photo of two residents.

Sharing a couple of older photos of mine I always enjoy seeing. The resident poss I call Grandma, on account of her multi generation offspring, sleeping soundly under some roof tiles on a gentle sunny spring day. She's still here, but now she has a designer box under the eaves. #possums
Brushtail possum front and rear paws visible in a space under a terracotta roof. Adult female brushtail possum sleeping under a terracotta roof. Daytime, but she's on the nightshift zzz.

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 in the fork of a tree with joey. Koala on a tree branch, joey snuggled in. Young koala resting in a tree. No joey.

I've heard people argue this one directly in favour of psychopathic corporate CEOs (other ones). "Yeah, they get the job done!" Nah. They look out for themselves. That's it.
