25.01.2022 This horse should not have died like this.

25.01.2022 This is why I refuse to download the App. Yes, it is to "trace" contacts of COVID 19 now but have you ever tried to FULLY delete a programme from your computer (or phone)? Short of returning to factory settings (and losing lots of wanted data), almost impossible unless you know a lot more about computers than most. Chances are, material that you don't want will be left behind.

25.01.2022 I have been active in promoting awareness of CAVERNOMAS, a rare disease, made rarer if one is unfortunate enough to have the familial form (as I do). Don't stress, you may have it and go through life totally unaffected. Or, you may present as an epileptic. Or your symptoms may be so severe that you need brain surgery. The worst thing about the disease is that most doctors just won't recognise it should you need treatment! That is really quite sad. So, if you are someone who has persistent headaches or ataxia or seizures or any other neurological deficit do some homework on cavernomas. You probably WON'T have one but it is good to exclude it. (MRI is the definitive test)

24.01.2022 This sort of power CAN NOT be given to this megalomaniac.

23.01.2022 Well, Good Friday. Let us keep it a Good Friday. I hope that all are doing the right thing and "socially distancing" themselves, staying at home and not risking the efforts to limit the spread. I have to say, I really liked the analogy I read recently to demonstrate why it is necessary NOT to have contact with others. Imagine a Chess Board. Then, add a grain of rice to the first square. Multiply it by itself. Next square has 2. Again, multiply it by itself - next has 4. And s...o on, right to the end of the board. This is the way COVID 19 is spread unless checked. How many rice grains by the end of the board? Apparently, more than all the World's production of rice for years. My maths are not good enough to give the correct answer. So, simple, Stay At Home! Everyone who has died, who will die, is someone's friend, mother, father etc. Don't let it be you. of rice for years. My maths are not good enough to give the correct answer.

23.01.2022 Do we need more evidence than this? Sunbathing in Arctic Russia!

23.01.2022 This was 2014 but our politicians have changed little. Disgusting

23.01.2022 What has got to be done to make these people safe? Even in Australia, they are not safe. It is easy for the opposition to become distracted by recent disasters. Easy to forget the few who we keep either in concentration camps or in situations where we are supposed to be providing medical care, let alone mental health care. This has to stop. The rest of the world has forgotten our disgusting treatment. Please, don't you.

21.01.2022 This says it all!

21.01.2022 Intact bushland has never been more important for our wildlife - yet logging continues in our remaining unburnt forests. Will you call on the government to tri...gger a Major Event Review of forestry agreements in response to the devastating fires? This will give these precious forests and animals the best chance of being protected.

21.01.2022 Yes, I was the one who did the maths, reducing the enormous numbers to ones that really mean something. To numbers that are relatable!

20.01.2022 I have been a little slow getting back into the swing of things after the knee surgery. If you have to have this sort of surgery, be aware that the surgery is a breeze. The recovery is hell. Having said that, I am posting this to try and get people to a look at an organisation called Citizens Climate Lobby (CCL). It is a bipartisan organisation with some very good ideas on how to meet our climate targets without causing disruption and also creating significantly more jobs than the fissile fuel industry will ever be able to. It all sounds Polyanna-ish but before you dismiss me as a nutter, Google CCL and have a listen to some of the recorded presentations. Message me if you want to get involved.

18.01.2022 Morrison et al need to take a good hard look at what they are doing to this country while lining their pockets.

17.01.2022 ABORIGINALS HELPED SHIPWRCK SURVIVERS REACH SYDNEY COLONY IN 1797 In March 1797 at Ninety Mile Beach in Victoria, five British and 12 Bengali seamen swam ashore... after their longboat was ripped apart in a storm. Sydney, a town of barely 1,500 people, was over 700 kilometres to the north. Meanwhile, their fellow-survivors from the wreck of the Sydney Cove were stranded further south, on a tiny island in the Bass Strait. To get help and save their own lives, the 17 sailors had no alternative. They set out to walk to Sydney but only three of the men arrived. Scottish merchant, 27-year-old William Clark, penned a daily account of their perilous journey. It's arguably one of Australia's greatest survival stories set against the backdrop of the stunning coastal landscape of southern New South Wales. But it has largely gone untold. RIVERS ROCKS BLUFF AND BEACHERS' For two months in early 1797, the 17 men traversed rivers, rocks, bluffs and beaches. North was their only lodestar. They needed to keep the coast in earshot, if not sight, at all times. It was their meetings and exchanges with Aboriginal people that saved them showing them where food and water could be located and directing them along paths. Their journey initiated the first prolonged encounter between Europeans and Aboriginal people beyond the confines of Sydney. And unlike the great expeditions that were to follow, these men were not funded by the state, or charged with the duty of scientific discovery. They were on a trading mission from Calcutta, hoping to cash in on Sydney's desperate need for merchandise and alcohol. A TALE OF MISADVENTURE Clark's journal entries are striking in their simplicity. The 17 men moved through the landscape not to discover, but to escape. Not for adventure, but because of misadventure.

Clark described how the "natives" insisted on examining their clothes and bodies, touching their hands, nails and feet and emitting loud shouts of laughter when they set eyes on their naked bodies. For the first weeks, the sailors averaged about 20km a day. However, every time they reached a large river mouth, they were forced to halt and build a raft, sometimes for up to three days. Ignorant of the density and moisture content of freshly cut Australian hardwoods, their first rafts sunk, until finally, Aboriginal people, much amused, ferried them across in their canoes. Help from local Indigenous guides Clark and his party became reliant on the local guides they were fed, ferried across rivers, occasionally ushered into camps overnight, and shown the way north by Aboriginal men who sometimes walked with them. They were then able to move inland, following traditional Aboriginal pathways. Yet within the group, sharp differences emerged about how to deal with "the natives". Forced to leave nine of the party behind at Moruya and slowed by the near drowning of several men near Bateman's Bay, Clark and first mate, Hugh Thompson, argued frequently with the ship's carpenter about how to deal with the Aboriginal people. Clark and Thompson were accepting. But the carpenter was impatient and dismissive, often demanding that he should be given more food. During a tense encounter with Aboriginal men at Jervis Bay, Clark was speared through the palms of both hands. Soon afterwards, Thompson, the carpenter, and all but three of the remaining group were dead, either from hunger and thirst, or killed by the Aboriginal people they encountered. But Clark, his Bengali manservant, and seaman John Bennet, pressed on towards Sydney. CASTAWAY STORY MAKES HEADLINES On May 15, 1797 after walking for more than two months, a fisherman spotted the three remaining sailors, crawling along Wattamolla Beach just south of Sydney. Their epic journey had come to an end. Listen to the podcast Earshot is about people, places, stories and ideas, in all their diversity. The arrival of the three castaways in Sydney created a minor sensation. It was not only Governor John Hunter who wanted to hear of their ordeal. Everyone in the colony wanted to know what was out there. News of the walkers' journey shifted the mindset of the colony, turning the eyes of officials and merchants south, to potentially lucrative sealing and whaling industries. After their fellow-survivors in Bass Strait were rescued, Clark returned to Calcutta where he died a few years later. Before he died, he showed his diary to a journalist at Calcutta's Asiatic Mirror. A 6000-word abstract of the journey appeared in 1798 and was syndicated widely. But remarkably, the story of Clark's epic walk along the south-eastern coast of NSW is not widely known. Although they walked further on Australian soil than any non-Aboriginal person had walked before them, Clark and his companions remain today much as they appeared to the Aboriginal people they encountered along the way apparitions who have yet to walk into history. ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ THE STORY ABC Radio National - Mark McKenna for Earshot MUCH MORE DETAILED STORY Hear historian Mark McKenna narrate this tale of action and adventure.

17.01.2022 Help if you can

15.01.2022 Can’t Help Falling In Love

15.01.2022 I am damn (no pun intended) if I know why the average farmer is charged for water stored in his dams. Big cotton farms and the like, fair enough.

13.01.2022 Poor lean looks a little deflated.

10.01.2022 Yes, share this.

09.01.2022 I am fortunate. I don't think I suffer from mental illness (I think). Cavernomas, yes (you can't see those either). Mostly, you can live with them. They are not usually debilitating. Anxiety is.

07.01.2022 Yes, Adani MUST be stopped. Write to Marsh, Insurance Brokers and express your grave concern. They are a big organisation so they can probably take a hit to their reputation; perhaps appeal to their sense of good business. And log onto #StopAdani Support Network, join if you have not done so. This will tie together all who are working hard but seeming to not be making much of an impression. Go for it!

07.01.2022 A great pair. Stand behind them. Vote #1 Greens in Eden -Monaro on the 4th July 2020. Go Cathy.

07.01.2022 I am sorry I have been less than active recently. I have had my wings clipped a little by knee surgery and type this from my hospital bed. Keep up the good work.

06.01.2022 Australia still logs because the system still says, "dig it up, cut it down, ship it out". When will we learn?

06.01.2022 Suro and Senja need your help now. For the cost of a couple of coffees per month you will give them a chance to be free and safe. See how our rescue, rehabilita...tion and release program makes a real difference through the support of donors like you. If you can't help now, please encourage others. See more

05.01.2022 Share widely please

04.01.2022 Wow, there I am, mouth wide open! No, I am not a student but if "School Striking" is a way of getting some action, I am right behind it.

04.01.2022 Yes, a smack on the backside never killed anyone, just as long as it was ONE smack, never done in anger.

04.01.2022 It looks like I had better post a little more. This is way out of date!

03.01.2022 Yes, we need to make sure our progress in containing COVID 19 does not go backwards but aggressive police action like this will not do that. Shame, shame!

03.01.2022 This is a timely warning!
