25.01.2022 SPOTTED Is this the outside of a giant Dalek?? Or more than likely part of Snowy Hydro2.0 infrastructure...... SnowyHydro

24.01.2022 Ten years on and it's still one of my favourite ever Christmas trees - expertly pruned by Canberra's Christmas Tree King - Keng Tan. Have you got your Christmas tree yet and if so how (if at all) do you shape your Christmas tree?

23.01.2022 Cicadas in Canberra I don’t think I’ve ever heard them this loud in the Parliamentary Triangle before, especially at 9am. This recording made outside East Block - the former home of ASIO and now home to the National Archives of Australia. Thank you La Niña!... Have you got cicadas at your place. Let’s hear them! Post here! (Video best appreciated with sound on)

22.01.2022 My 'Where in Canberra' quiz photo in my Canberra Times column this week was this beauty by Neal Gowen. Can you pick the year?

20.01.2022 Just metres from where three people were struck by lightning in Feb 2017 and one died, a tree just split in two and blew over in historic Corbett Gardens Bowral, (home to the annual Tulip Time Festival) taking live electricity wires with it. Thankfully I’m not aware of any casualties.

17.01.2022 Friday free-for-all I'm looking for more mysteries that warrant investigating for my Australian Geographic column. What do YOU want me to cover?... Here are some of the recent topics I've featured. Vanishing lakes Nullarbor nymph QLD Crop circles Bunyips Tidal bores Fish falls Lismore glowing cross Wagga's 5 O'Clock wave NSW singing beaches Uluru curse https://www.australiangeographic.com.au//tim-the-yowie-man/

14.01.2022 Trek to Namadgi's 'Bushranger Fort'. Here's some pics from recent walk with Dave Rainey and Malcolm Murray to the so-called 'bushranger fort' of Namadgi - a mystery 30 metres long dry stone wall. Have you been there?... Got to love a good bush mystery. I love the way Namadgi is bouncing back from the fires. Full report is in my CT column this week.

13.01.2022 Where in NSW in this fearsome yowie? Do you know?

12.01.2022 IS THIS THE BEST BREAKING NEWS FROM 2020? PLATYPUS POO!!!! Just in from the folk at the Australian Platypus Conservancy. ... Pete Walsh, who monitors the Hobart Rivulet in Tasmania, recently captured some remarkable video footage of a platypus that appears to climb out of the water quite deliberately to defecate at the top of an adjoining concrete bank - see https://www.facebook.com/hobartrivuletplatypus/videos/819770458756290 Up until now it’s been believed that these animals almost invariably defaecate in the water. However, Pete has photographed many platypus scats in the vicinity, suggesting that it’s regularly used as a platypus toilet, possibly to assist territorial marking

07.01.2022 Today's 'Where in Canberra' photo from my CT column. Recognise it? Winner is first correct entry emailed to [email protected] after 10am (Canberra time) today.

06.01.2022 Dr Karl is in da house. Da Old Parliament House in fact. To launch the ‘Behind the Lines 2020 Exhibition’ - political cartoons on the year that was ‘a dog’s breakfast’. Sorry, had to share a ghost related cartoon, the building being haunted ‘n all.

05.01.2022 What a great weekend to do the chimney sweep in my mountain getaway. If only... but this hut, Cootapatamba Hut is one of my favourite high country huts. And no, it's not a chimney for smoke but for winter adventures who need emergency shelter in the snow to climb into the hut when the snow level is too high to use the door.... Now I'm sure some of you have got some winter photos. Hit me with them! Pic by Graham Scully.

03.01.2022 Exposed by bushfire damage, this mystery memorial was recently found overlooking the Eucumbene River near Adaminaby. Does anyone know who it might pay tribute to? The epitaph appears to have melted in the fire.... Photos via Sue O'Leary. More details in my CT column this week - free at libraries, also in hard copy and online for CT subs here: https://www.canberratimes.com.au//ashes-to-ashes-a-fisher/

01.01.2022 Check out these award-winning pix from the Canberra region in the National Parks Association ACT photo competition. Which is your favourite? I love that rainbow over Corin Dam by Tim Burgess.... Others pics by Lachlan Read (the Superb fairywren), Lora Starrs (the Person's tree frogs) and Joel Davis (Murder of Crows). If you happen to be subscriber to the CT (like I am!), my column this week features the back story of each photo here: https://bit.ly/36WqL0N
