It was a privilege interviewing Dr Sophie Jensen, the head curator at the National Museum of Australia for this piece. I’m now inspired to unpack my hidden boxes of memories and treasures and display them around my home. abc.net.au/news/2024-05-21/t…

So I stumbled across a frog fight last night in our backyard between these two. Froggy territory war or foreplay? @austmus @jodirowley

There is no intrinsic, moral or pragmatic reason why white men should rule this country. It’s a cultural norm, and cultural norms change. Let’s do this thing. #IWD2021

#ICYMI: "The issue is not here having an educational program just about consent. I think the educational program we need is: what gives young boys, old men, middle-age men... the impression that they are entitled to violate the body of another human being?" - @georgiedent

If Marty McFly told me on NYE that in 2020 I’d live through bushfires, smoke pollution, flooding, a global pandemic and self-isolation I may have *just* believed him. But if he told me I’d be homeschooling my kids before the end of Term 1 I’d have sprinted for his DeLoran. – at Wollongong, New South Wales

PARENTS to teachers: We know you are doing your best, thank you. It's OK if you can't get your lessons to us, we'll work something out later, it's really fine. ❤️ TEACHERS to parents: We know you are mostly not set up or able to home school. Do what you can, it's really fine. ❤️

So much evidence of bushfire has washed up on Corrimal East beach this morning. Multiple tide marks of black ash, charcoal, burnt bark and sticks. Which fire/s caused it? I’m curious to know. @doctormcdougall @jakecupitt @Rorymacabc – at Wollongong, New South Wales

So great to see Malcolm and Phil from the Austi RFS, a youth-run “beauty salon” and a full “bake bar” worth of treats at the Austinmer Kids’ Bushfire Fundraiser Disco this afternoon at the scout hall. @NSWRFS #AustraliaFires – at Wollongong, New South Wales

This young man is 17. A member of his local Scout Group. He’s been doing 12 hour shifts in the Bega Valley with his RFS brigade. As we say in Scouts, BRAVO. What a champion. Photo credit 1st Cobargo Scouts.
