This Echidna is doing what Echidnas do - turning over an old log looking for termites. Those spines are sharp - so I wasn't about to turn it over to see if it was male or female!

Attended a Zoom meeting last night for Climate 200 - with 35 candidates standing in the next Australian election. Looking like a serious challenge. We even have a candidate for my electorate of Deakin - she has a great name for a politician - Jess Ness. #jessness4deakin. Web site is jessness4deakin.com.au - and you can make a donation!

A friend suggested today that “patriots” is actually Parrots - misspelled.

This is a less common bird you might see in a local park. It’s a Gang Gang cockatoo. They love Banksia flowers and Coast Banksia is very common around the Mornington Peninsula - so look out for them. Sometimes you’ll hear them first - they have a call like a creaky door!

Heard a familiar piping sound from my Cotoneaster tree yesterday. Imagine my surprise when I saw an Eastern Rosella - not the more usual Crimson Rosella. The berries on the tree have set, but are still green - He’d beaten the Sulphur Crested Cockatoos - by too big a margin!

That beach looks really inviting when it’s 39º outside - but it’s at Point Nepean, in Victoria, Australia - and is littered with unexploded shells and bombs - so it’s a no go area. Best stick to Bayside beaches!

Australian Economics
I keep hearing expert economists debating when our Reserve Bank will cut interest rates. They are living in fairy land - the Reserve isn’t going to cut rates before an election!

This is the second best beach - in the world! Caught this on the news this morning - but missed which was the best beach. It’s Norman Beach on Wilsons Promontory in Victoria, Australia - after school holidays finished.
