In case you'd like to catch up on our chat about the surprising benefits of pleasure, joy, and all things lovely, here's the link to listen to ABC Radio National's Life Matters from this morning 😘 www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Sky, whip birds and the sound of the creek. Nice.

Went orchid hunting in the Langwarrin Reserve yesterday, saw some. Most are tiny, and as our guide told us, see the leaves, see the orchid. Native orchids are terrestrial, unlike the ones normally grown in pots which are epiphytes. And also caught a wallaby hightailing it out of our path!

Oh, the indescribable bliss of a deserted beach 🥰

The Great Koala National Park is here! It will protect over 178,000 hectares of koala habitat from logging on the mid-north coast of NSW, on Gumbaynggirr & Dunghutti Country. This is the greatest conservation win for the forests of NSW in decades.👇 youtube.com/shorts/AoxQ6...

Whenever I've been away, I get home, dump my bag, throw my swimmers on, and I'm in the ocean within 15 minutes 🧜‍♂️

Let's flex our muscle of decency, people.

I woke up in Coolangatta

A bit of brightness in the rain.

This morning's masterpiece

It's been raining all week and it's predicted to continue But this afternoon might be the time I jump in the ocean anyway It feels necessary

Every morning. Beauty.

First time finding an Earth Star!! #fungifriends

Mum announced in the middle of her 90th birthday celebration lunch that, from today, she's turning over a new leaf. When we asked what the 'new leaf' was, she said, 'I'll be doing exactly as I please from today onwards.' I don't know whether to be proud or afraid... 😅

Ice-cream cake for my very favourite 90 year old 🥰

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage

It’s time to fix university funding. Read the report and send a message to Minister for Education Jason Clare: betterunis.nteu.au/postcards @alisonbarnes.bsky.social

When Australia faces its biggest challenges, we turn to our universities. But are we funding them like the national asset they are? Our latest report compares Commonwealth funding for public universities and private schools, and reveals a striking imbalance. Read more: betterunis.nteu.au/postcards

Exactly. Here is some small on a beautiful Southern Moon Moth.

See the beauty in small things Marvel at it ✨️

A recent report quoted 3.7 million people live in poverty in Oz. That is disgusting for a rich nation. Unemployment Jobstart allowance remains below the poverty line. Inexcusable for a Labor govt.

Thought I'd share my flowers with you Nature is such a show off 😍

I swam in the ocean this afternoon and it was absolutely perfect

A long walk, ~14km along the Maribyrnong river today. Following along the loop of the river - it’s so soothing. I love taking photos of the city, and remembering when it used to be only a few tall buildings . Look at it now!! #Melbourne

The ordinary magnificence of the morning 😍

It's feeling like a summer evening here

A little late (on Canada time). #FungiFriday Angel wings(?)

Happy weekend, flutterpeeps 😘

It’s rather pleasant out here.

Oh, my own little bed. What impossible luxury!!!!

A new poll has shown the Greens' vote is on the rise! The Greens are the most popular party with young people & ahead of their state election, the Victorian Greens are polling at record highs. People want change.

I'm at the "I wasn't this tired before I started my leave" stage of my 6 days off 😬

Stop the chop! Once destroyed, our Parklands will be changed forever and so will our heritage values.

While the women left out of this story ‘wait’ for answers on sexual assault allegations, the bloke made centre of this story ‘can’t wait’ to have it all swept under the rug & be able to hang out with the boys again.
