This is appalling. Tim is about as open and public in his work as it's possible to be—the fact that the NLA shut off access, informed him by email, and then said 'get in touch if you want to have a conversation' feels more like Meta or X than a national library. Why not *start* with a conversation?

The greatest and most surprising flight in Australia (maybe) is the direct one from Hobart to Perth. Four-ish hours across the ocean, with half an hour of land at each end. Remarkable. Good morning Perth!
A photo taken from a footbridge along the edge of the Swan River in Perth. The top of the photo is framed by curving metal work, and the horizon runs through the centre of the photo, with high and low rise buildings stretched along its length. The river is wide and the far shore is distant. A ferry has just passed under my feet and is heading towards the other shore. The sky is as blue as blue can be, without a cloud to be seen.
