04.01.2022 Brisbane is Australias River City - its one of the things that makes our city such a great place to live but its also why the local creek catchment groups play such an important role.

03.01.2022 Swooping season has begun and today I unveiled a list of swooping hotspots, with more than 900 complaints made to Council so far this year. While getting swooped can be frightening, the birds are just doing what any parent would - trying to protect their young - and there are simple precautions you can take to avoid becoming the target of avian warfare: Travel in a group. Most birds only swoop individuals.... Do not panic and run, as this only encourages a swooping bird to continue its attack. Wear a hat or hold a stick or umbrella over your head to keep a swooping bird at a safe distance. Cyclists should dismount and walk away from the swooping zone. Avoid the swoop area during breeding season. See more
