Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.

How do they expect to own a home then!

What's wrong with voters is that many don't care and many more don't realise the implications till it's too late. Most people are self-centred and consider 'the environment' as non essential or even some kind of greeny. hipster sort of fad. Some people actually hate nature.

Anything but metric...

Santos clearly think they are gaining something from it.

Yes but the problem is they often do get a say about what happens with their sponsorship.. and not everyone is as immune to advertising as you are.

i'm conflicted, taking money from companies I don't like in the form of advertising doesn't bother me, I mean, Santos sponsors it but ?? who gives a shit? are you planning to buy whatever it is that Santos sell? if not screw it just take the money

I'm like if BP wants to sponsor a climate change conference go for it, so long as they don't get a chance to lobby and do other things, just a name on a banner, go for your life

But I understand this is controversial, there's a big thing against gambling advertising on during the Rugby but I have never gambled and never will, so from my point of view they're just giving money to something I actually want

They said that last year and here we are. Fuck 'em anyway, flying all over the place making climate change worse

We used to launch our kayak from the back door of our apartment in a canal on the Gool Coast, several times we'd have dolphins coming past chasing fish in the wayer, amazing stuff. Could also see them from our balcony

More deaths in NSW this time, here

I find this upsetting. I don't have anything new to say about it though. We all know what needs to be done already. And we know that we're going to be seeing the overarching slow-motion disaster ramp up for years to come.

That sucks. In support of our fruit loving flyers, I have to post one of my favourite videos:

Flying fox rave party.

Hope they can rave again soon.

Excellent! 😂

No, just a vivid mental image of the most recent drop bear upgrade. ;-)

Just a tad pedantic? 😂

It does mean a lot. Not only can birds enjoy the fresh water but the grass and plates (if she leaves them out) collect water that nocturnal animals can also drink. I don't know if this little video will work: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1400457728180628

My mum just leaves a sprinkler on, is that helpful for the wildlife? The birds seem to love it but that doesn't mean a lot

Flying Koalas??? 😬

Yeah, the kookaburra being behind that branch near it's head looks a bit odd. But it could just be the way the branch is angled. My main reason for asking is that its such a unique shot to have captured.

On looking at it more closely it could be a montage. Perhaps if there are any more experienced photographers on here they could tell us.

As far as I know it’s real. I got it from some info material about 2-3 years ago but I’m sorry I don’t remember where from.

Is that a real picture? Where'd you find that? Its an incredible capture.

The sprinklers under cool trees is a good idea

Thank you ikt
