In semi lockdown I'm finally sorting through a lifetime of photos and inspired by what Craig and Andy recently posted I thought why not.
We travel a fair bit and there has to be some crackers in the vaults.
Good if we follow the Swellnet tradition of not naming or being too obvious.

Hi AW, hope you are well ;)
About this time of year nine years ago.
I really enjoyed the place when we stopped.
The hot pool was 40 degrees and a great town magnet at the changing of the light, morning or night.

Truly a very evocative photo, beautiful mate.

I think I might do a bird/plant trip in that region next Autumn, pretty sure you’d meet some, let’s say, characters !!!. AW

Opal mining areas are the place to meet characters, that’s for sure. But it’s established and really friendly. I love the outback places so different to the coast.
We love chasing hot springs in winter, whether natural or bores.

Hi AW, speaking of eagles, it's hard to believe that this was a common sight when I was young, farmers shot eagles and proudly strung them up on fences. We counted 14 this day. Cheers.

Hi Old -dog.. OMG, thank you for posting that picture, its very brave of you to do that!
What a place Wild Australia must've been before the Brits came in with their brash techniques of forming a society in a country such as this. The shooting of such a magnificent creature to protect their crops..This is sick human folly! The whole methodology of monoculture farming has been horrendous for the survival of the natural landscape and its animal inhabitants. Monoculture farming is a massive contributor to the demise of this amazing planet we live in. Buy local I say, from small local farmers if possible, it’s better for you and doesn't take from nature. Join a co-op where you grow your own veges on a dedicated patch of land.
If only someone would have spoken up and said NO, this is not sustainable and not kind to our planet! But you know.. Its in the history..The weakness of inaction contributes to the reality of fate..

BTW .. next time at the beach take a bag and pick up every piece of plastic that is in sight. The birds are making meals of them and cannot digest it, leaving them, so sorry to say, to die a painful death.. Really! This is heart wrenching! Just saw the 2nd young Egrit bird, sweet and pretty looking faces, contorted, dead on the foreshore. I suspect it's from plastic, could be bird flu but these are young birds, I’ll take a picture and post it next time.
We must act now! That means ALL of us.. Pick up plastic, get the kids involved from your local school.. get them out there so they learn what's happening.. This has just got me started... There's lots we can do and will do, but it has to be a mass awareness and contribution.. we take advantage of our living on this planet.. in order to enjoy it we must look after it! Where every single one of us is involved until we can stop the source and the manufacture of plastic, that too is achievable, believe it.. and it is achievable. Cheers

Old-Dg & Reform. Hi guys hope you are diggin’ it.

Brings tears to my eyes reading and hearing of the historical maltreatment of animals.
Pity they couldn’t shoot back at the ‘colonists’. Those horrid folks needed a full gunpowder colonoscopy up the date.

You may be surprised to hear that those atrocities back then are still alive and kicking today.
In 2018, a farmer moron from Tubbut ( yeah, two butts, his arsehole and his foul smelling mouth) from West Gippsland was jailed for a measly 14 days for injecting poison into dead lamb carcasses with the resultant death of 406 Wedge-tailed Eagles. Fined $2,500.00 what a crock of shit.

Wedge- tailed Eagles hang around sheep especially when lambing, they are opportunistic birds that are basically after the ‘afterbirth’ which they rip and tear apart with most birds receiving an equal amount.

Before anyone gets on here and tells me they mostly kill and carry away tiny lambs, I call total bullshit, I’ve been watching them for decades in a rural environment, nada, show me photographic evidence or empirical data to back up the bullshit claim.

What a piss poor society we live in that only penalises an individual in that kind of manner.
I’ve heard reports also from Gippsland of a farmer who claimed he shot one per day, total fuckwits. AW
