Sharing another pink cockatoo photo from that time in 2019 at Lake Hart.
I don't see these birds very often so it's always exciting when I do find them. Just gorgeous!

Patrick Stewart was once filmed dancing and singing on the bridge of the USS Enterprise-D in 1991 as a birthday surprise for Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Though never intended for public release, a copy of the clip eventually surfaced as a bonus feature on a DVD.
Rest in peace 🙏

Thank you for the many adventures and countless other worlds you've taken me to Mr Stewart. You lived long, and prospered.

Things you find while sorting to move house. Sydney Morning Herald from NSW election day 1999. How to fold your tablecloth sized Legislative Council ballot paper into an origami Sydney Opera House.

David Shoebridge doesn’t hold back after Defence Chief Mark Hammond says Senators are smiling at his claim that the dept. of Defence is a ‘doormat to the US’
“That’s because they also have the same policy position about being a doormat to the US. That’s why they’re smiling!”🔥

I'm scared about Trumps actions,
1. Next few days leading up to election, &

The cost of living has the least impact on the rich.
The rich are the ones who have all the power and influence with politicians. That's why nothing is ever done to really help the poor.
The poor have to find a way to make the politicians care.
Faaaaarrrrkkkk
We are so cooked

If only the Labor leadership trio had half the integrity, decency and compassion of Ed Husic, as Aussies we could hold our heads high.
With the present apologies for Labor leaders, I am deeply ashamed to think our PM especially lacks courage and any decent principles at all. – at Perth, Western Australia

Obama: "I am old enough to remember when a president wearing a tan suit was a major national controversy. They were very upset. And I know I looked good in that suit."

If you can separate Christians from the KKK, you can separate Muslims from Al Qaeda and you can separate Judaism from Zionism.
Don't be a fucking idiot.
He's killing it!!
Obama tonight on his Cheesecake Factory line: "They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke. The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy. The person who's supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable. The guy who's supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation. And reduce interest rates. They told him he should hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory."
