A gorgeous day for a drive to Serpentine in Northern Vic for the Loddon Valley Arts Trail. Amanda Western’s “Red Bricks” - lithograph projections bringing to life the history of the East Loddon Woolshed a site-specific sound/ art installation - was beautifully done. #Art #Arts #Lithograph

A fair bit of water coming down white horse creek , earlier shot and just now , too high to get a car across. I expect if the rain stops further up the catchment, it will recede.

Helen and I walked 11 kilometres earlier this week to make sure we could walk around #Uluru on my 95th birthday. Did it in 3 hours 15 minutes. Will need to walk faster at Uluru but we are in with a chance. The faster I walk the less my #arthritis hurts.

Turning desalination waste into a useful resource
Chemical processing could turn brine from desalination plants into useful industrial chemicals like sodium hydroxide, so that it doesn’t need to be dumped back into the sea.

​The concept originated in the Netherlands to help combat social isolation particularly among elderly residents. French retailers adopted the idea as a way to humanise the shopping experience. Isn't this what supermarket checkouts used to do when they staffed them all & there were no self checkouts?

Keep yourselves safe from the 40 visiting IDF soldiers running in the marathon, Sydney. I'd avoid visiting hospitals if you can, they like to blow those up. Ditto for mosques. Same for Australian war cemeteries. And it probably goes without saying, but keep your kids well away.
