IT'S A JOB...

View from a balcony in Southbank. It's a painter painting the walls of a high rise apartment building. Can you find him in the first photo? I've given you a zoom photo in the second image. And as you can see in the third photo he gets a nice view of the sea (he has a little rear view mirror on his helmet!)...

RAIN

We are now well into Autumn and rain is with us rather frequently, while the cool weather necessitates the comforting reassurance of a heater warming the room...

FIRE!

It's not a pleasant thing being woken up at night by blaring sirens and going out see billows of smoke coming out of a house a few doors down... However, it was good to see the rapidity of the response by emergency services and the efficiency with which the firefighters put out the fire. Fortunately, there were no injuries.

HAPPY BILBY EASTER!

The bilby (specifically the Greater Bilby - Macrotis lagotis) is an iconic Australian desert-dwelling marsupial known for its long, rabbit-like ears and silky blue-grey fur. It is an "ecosystem engineer" that plays a vital role in soil health by digging extensive burrow systems up to 3 metres long and 2 metres deep.

In Australia, the bilby is widely promoted as a native alternative to the Easter Bunny to raise awareness and funds for its protection. Since bilbies are nocturnal and rare, the best way to see them is at specialized nocturnal houses or sanctuaries.
