Here's some fungus from the shores of Lake Eacham

Well it was quite the day for wildlife here in far north Queensland :)

I stayed at Etty Bay and was rewarded with a 15 min cassowary promenade passing FirstDogonTheMoon's excellent sign and also kind of doing an Abbey Road (Etty Road?)

After a drive up the very scenic ranges to Yungaburra I saw a platypus swimming around for approx 30 min. I didn't try to take photos, I just admired how they are so water adapted that with all the swimming and diving not once did I see a splash, the water just flows around them 🥰

Little visitor this morning.

The thing about there being a cyclone about, is it really brings the sky candy.
The first is looking east-southeast, toward the developing system. The second is facing west-northwest (at dusk). One huge band, stretching hundreds of kilometers out to sea, where it tangles with outer bands into a vortex shooting skyward. Or they will, tomorrow some time.

I hope people understand that the horrific #flood waters in and around #Cairns #FNQ will drain into the sea, taking all of the detritus from towns and villages and cities with it.
So, it's not someone throwing a plastic straw into the sea.
#ClimateCatastrophe affects everything.

Cooktown in Far North Queensland has only 3 days of food left and is low on water due to flooding at their water treatment plant. The town is preparing to receive 300 evacuees from another town.

Cooktown is an isolated town in Cape York at the best of times. With the wide-spread flooding and road closures in the Far North it will not be easy to restock the town.

Next time someone complains to you about wet weather 🥴
(#FNQ residents excluded)

The rainfall totals happening in FNQ in the last week are mind-boggling.

Myola got > 2000 mm in 5 days! That's close to what Cairns gets in a year, 800 mm more than Brisbane's and Sydney's annual average, and nearly 4 times London's annual average. It's a lot of water!

Thinking of everyone up north, what a battering to get so early in the wet season.

To complete the Thorsborne trail you have to ignore a crocodile warning while crossing a wide, waist deep river. Second picture shows my wife finishing off the biggest crossing. All good fun 😅#crocodiles #straya #FNQ

Just back from a bucket-list hike along the Thorsborne trail, Hinchinbrook Island in far north Queensland. A moderately challenging 4 days - the main challenges being rock hopping and a few river crossings. Absolutely spectacular and with brilliant waterfall-fed swimming holes along the way. 10/10 would recommend. Saw no crocodiles. Which was a good thing given the river crossings. #hiking #bushwalking #straya #FNQ

Saw a sign outside a farm saying "No industrial wasteland" with crossed out wind turbines

I love how literate people are out here #queensland #fnq

My son found a bowerbird bower a few blocks from home. I think it's a Great Bowerbird (that's its name, not my opinion).

This is not a nest. It is a Tinder profile that uses Instagram filters. The male builds this tunnel, and carefully arranges pale grey bits and pieces in an exact pattern, bigger at the front, smaller near the tunnel, shiny out the back. Then he stands in it. The foreshortening makes him look huge and sexy.
