  9. A new episode awaits recording… just as soon as my voice returns.. 🙄
    Don’t get many colds these days but…. 🥴

    And here’s a clue - starting in 1928, the idea was more than 10 years in gestation, and really 'took off' after its debut… 😉

  10. Newly discovered diary records landmark sighting of Australia in 1687 - The Age

    "I was one of the first [to see it] … as we walked on the poop. At first sight, we thought that it was some ships but as we sailed on … in a short time we saw … there’s land."

  11. @caity Yep, the mighty Snowy Mtns. 😍 Interesting to see the regrowth from 2019-20 & loved checking out all the Hydro places I'd talked about a couple of years back. Stunning country. Got some nice walks in too.

    "Museums stocked with 'platysausages' as taxidermists get it wrong on Australian animals."
    🔗 abc.net.au/news/2023-01-05/poo
    "We often find flatypuses that are pancake flat. We find fattypuses that are overstuffed, or sometimes the platysausage, which is long and thin and sausage-shaped."

    Great article By Zoe Kean , ABC Radio Hobart, with food for thought for museums.

    We talked about the confusion experienced by Europeans seeing our Platypus for the first time in Episode 19: The Platypus Controversy.
    Very amusing. 😄. Link to listen below if you’re interested.
