Back on a train, heading home a couple of hours earlier than I'd expected. My back thinks it's done enough for today. I'm not going to force the issue; it was nice to have an outing.
@MorpheusB love this 😆 😂 😂 here's the #alttext if you want it
MYTH VERSUS FACT: WOMBATS AND THE AUSTRALIAN BUSHFIRES
MYTH: WOMBATS MAKE SHELTERS FOR ANIMALS AFFECTED BY BUSHFIRES.
FACT: WOMBATS DIG
NETWORKS OF BURROWS, WHICH MAY BE USED BY OTHER ANIMALS AS SHELTER.
MYTH WOMBATS DIG WELLS TO OFFER WATER TO BUSHFIRE VICTIMS.
FACT: WOMBATS DIG DEEPER BURROWS DURING DROUGHTS, EXPOSING GROUNDWATER. THESE 'SOAKS' MAY BE USED BY OTHER ANIMALS FOR A DRINK.
MYTH WOMBATS AREN'T AS HEROIC AS BEING PORTRAYED TO BE.
FACT: A WOMBAT WOULD MAKE A BETTER PRIME MINISTER THAN SCOTT MORRISON. #straya
I absolutely adored the 4' B&W vox pop clip in Kings Cross; just hilarious & captivating. Listening to the voices & delivery therein was only part of the fun though; i was staggered by the massive invasion of personal body space by interviewer & interviewees compared to my own sensibility, plus i suspect that many of the interviewees were around my age now [60s] yet looked 20 years older [which is a major social trend i've observed over my lifetime; what "old" peeps look like has been getting older & older IMO].
Many of us are still on holidays here in #Australia (Silly Season/Summer Vacation). It’s a dreamy time-out-of-time when we’re collectively cushioned by the Australian cultural tradition that nothing very serious is likely to happen in this country until after Australia Day/Invasion Day (January 26th).
I’m celebrating this special time when everyone — from businessmen, to grandmothers, hipsters and their children — has the freedom to wear board shorts and thongs (flipflops) while sauntering along the main street, eating in cafes, meandering down to the creek for a swim, or strolling to the beach.
