24.01.2022 Two incredible cuttle fish were the absolute highlight of this dive. I have been so keen to see a cuttle fish on all of my previous dives but hadn’t had any luck so far. But this time I finally got to see two together, just chillin right next to me. They swam up behind me at first and I didn’t even know they were there as they are so well camouflaged.

23.01.2022 I was so excited to be invited to be one of 12 children chosen from around the world to be a part of this beautiful children’s book called Old Enough To Save The Planet. The author Loll Kirby is from England and she wrote this book to show our stories to inspire young readers everywhere to take action and believe in the power they have to make a real difference in the world. I think this book is a great way to open up important discussions with children about the things we ...can all do to look after our earth. The illustrator is Adelina Lirius who is based in Stockholm, Sweden and I think she has done such an amazing job with the gorgeous drawings. Thanks so much Loll for choosing me to be a special part of your book. #plasticfreecoastlines #oceanpollution #ecofriendly #illustration #worldoceanday #breakfreefromplastic #plasticsucks #noexcuseforsingleuse #plasticpollutes #kidsbooks #childrensbook

22.01.2022 I have my diver ‘L Plates’ on and I’m ready for my first two dives. I decided to learn to dive in Coffs Harbour as it has both tropical and subtropical fishlife. . Its called the Solitary Islands Marine Park where the tropical sea life from the Great Barrier Reef meet the huge schools of fish from temperate waters so you get the best of both worlds. We dove at Split solitary island first and then south solitary island.

19.01.2022 In the school holidays I got to do 6 more dives to help get my experience up and learn more about the ocean too. The first two dives were at South West Rocks and I learned a few valuable lessons along the way like how strong ocean currents can be. #scubadiving #scuba #scubagirl #scubadivingmag #oceanlife #diving #divingisfun #sharks #divinggirl #sharkdiving #marinelife #reef #padi #padidiver #projectaware #paditv #jumpin #fun

Fish Rock Cave, is the only true ocean cave dive in Australia running 125 metres right through Fish Rock which lies two kilometres south-east of Smoky Cape South West Rocks.

12.01.2022 Sometimes it can feel a bit discouraging when you hear about all of the negative things happening to our planet. But there are so many incredible people all over the world taking positive action to create a more sustainable future. The incredible people I met at the NSW Government Green Globe Awards really showed me that there is so much hope out there with these organisations doing amazing things in the sustainability area and championing environmental change. The Awards... ceremony is a special day really worth celebrating so we can acknowledging these incredible sustainability leaders in NSW Australia. The Green Globe Awards are NSW’s premier sustainability and environmental leadership awards. https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au//awa/green-globe-awards From the built environment to environmental protection; by public sector, private enterprise, and not-for profit organisations; from 12-year-olds to lifelong achievers, the Green Globe Awards support NSW by: - showcasing sustainability leaders and their work to protect local communities - sharing sustainability knowledge and how individuals and organisations can participate ensuring the state is more resilient to a changing climate. Over two decades, the Awards have gained a strong reputation for independent, evidence-based judging, connecting people and inspiring action within communities. Many have aligned their work with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, recognising that a healthy environment is dependent on a thriving and resilient local and global community.

12.01.2022 Last weekend I was so excited to be able to do another open water dive. This dive was at the shark gutters at South West Rocks and there were so many incredible grey nurse sharks there, it was heavenly and a dream come true to be able to spend more time with these legends of the ocean. . . . .... . . . . #shark #sharkdiving #sharkdiver #sharklover #sharkdive #sharklife #sharkconservation #scubadiving #scuba #scubagirl #scubadivinggirls #paditv #padi #padidiver #projectaware #adventure #brave #savethesharks #divergirl #diving #underthesea #mermaid #gopro #aqualung #oceanic See more

11.01.2022 The rough seas always bring in more rubbish. The waves and wind influence where plastic pollution ends up on our beaches. A lot of the time it’s often further back from the beach in the vegetation and sand dunes.

10.01.2022 With so many incredible humpback whales around it’s now more important than ever to be a part of Plastic Free July!

09.01.2022 I wanted to share a cute little story with you that I filmed at the Rockpool with my gorgeous little octopus friend. I don't often take my camera when I visit as I like to be in the moment and the camera is a distraction but I bring it along every once in a while so I can have some sweet memories of my little friend to look back on. I sat the camera back on the sand away from the octopus so that he couldn’t reach it, well so I thought. There is a book that I can't wait t...o read called 'The soul of an octopus' and I have been reading some interviews online with the incredible author Sy Montgomery. He said that "Octopuses are so brilliant," and he believes their intelligence is almost off the charts. "They love to play. Play is one of those characteristics of higher minds." I say, this is one of the most beautiful creatures on this planet, one of the smartest, one of the most interesting, and one of the most alien," Montgomery said. It turns out that calling an octopus curious is an understatement. "When I met an octopus for the first time, I was so struck by the fact that she was just as curious about me as I was about her," Montgomery said. It’s possible to have an octopus care about you, to choose your company. That is a real honor.

08.01.2022 And that’s a wrap for our FutureThink Symposium! What a fantastic two nights we had last week, of sharing and discussing BIG IDEAS with our Think 2050 ambassadors, Melissa Neighbour from Future Crunch and Joshua Carass from United Nations Association of Australia. I thought I would share just a small part of the panel discussion. You can still submit your ideas and thoughts about how we should live in 2050 on our website at https://haveyoursay.pmhc.nsw.gov.au/community-strategic-plan. .

06.01.2022 I introduced you to a little octopus friend of mine back in June and I have continued to visit him ever since. We have built a friendship with trust and respect and I decided to take my camera with me today so I could share this magical little creature with you. He is just so precious and intelligent! I used to just sit above the water line on top of a rock to observe him but now I am able to sit in the Rockpool water next to his den. He always seems genuinely intereste...d in interacting with me and loves it when I bring him little shell and rock presents for his den. . . . . . . . . #octopus #octopus #rockpool #mollusk #animalfriends #animalphotography #savetheoceananimals #animalplanet #davidattenborough @seachangeproject #marineanimals @the_rewilding #myoctopusteacher #octopuslove #protectanimals #trust #netflix #precious #friendship #friends #seachangeproject #oceanlife See more

06.01.2022 Last Saturday I started my PADI Open Water Scuba diver Course and I was so excited. This allows me to dive anywhere in the world without an instructor and up to 18 meter depths. The first full training day we spent in the pool, we learned so much.

05.01.2022 After my dive this is some of what I found at my beach clean and sadly I even found a piece of washed up plastic that looked just like a mini shark fin. There were a lot of smaller pieces of plastic along the tide line hidden amongst the seaweed.

05.01.2022 I love my ocean time so much and I got to do another cave dive which was incredible and I even got to see the bubble cave this time too. Every time I dive it helps me learn even more about the marine animals and the eco systems in the ocean. The ocean is truly the most magnificent place on this planet. #scuba #scubadive #scubagirl #diver #adventure #cave #cavediving #underwaterphotography #endplasticpollution #bethechange #marinedebris #pickitup #marinelitter #timeforchange #cleanseas #plasticpollution #oceancleanup #singleuseplastic #beachclean #beachcleanup #paditv #scubadiving #projectaware #oceanpollution #oceanconservation #sharkfin #cleanbeach #protecttheocean #protecttheplanet

04.01.2022 Today was the Spring Seaside Scavenge, which was an online clean up event in our town. I collected a lot of rubbish at our local beaches and beach car parks/roadside today, and then even managed a lovely swim once I had finished. This is some of what I collected as I was sorting through the rubbish. . . . .... . . . . #seasidescavenge #beachcleanup #beachclean #gogreenforthebigblue #blueplanet #oceancleanup #community #cleanuptheworld #cleanup #littering #rubbish #trash #inspiration #saveourplanet #plasticpollution #pollutionfree #oceanpollution #beachvibes See more

01.01.2022 On Monday I was invited to talk to the Year 2 students at my school about how we can help the ocean, as this week is Science Week. This years National Science Week theme is 'Deep Blue: innovation for the future of our oceans'. It was such a great opportunity to be able to share my project with the students so they could learn a bit more about the importance of our oceans and how we can protect the marine animals that call it home. A big thank you to Mr Zavone for all of ...your help and for organising this. Can't wait to talk to Year 4 on Friday! . . . . . . #oceanhelpers #scienceweek #scienceweek2020 #deepblue #deepbluesea #scienceteacher #scienceforkids #sciencerocks #stemeducation #stemgirls #stemforkids #oceanconservation #marineanimals #microplastic #oceanpollution #inspire #spreadtheword #spreadawareness #beachcleanup #inspireothers #primaryteacher #primaryschool #primaryschoolteacher #kidpower #learning
