  1. Spotted sun orchid (Thelymitra ixioides) near Hyam's Beach, NSW - another coastal location where most of the flowers have no spots. Flowering had already pretty much finished here in mid-September with only a handful of plants still out.

  5. Caladenia hillmanii (purple-heart fingers) in open forest at Jervis Bay, NSW. Some variation in flower size, shape and colour at this location with some plants not having the distinctive maroon labellum side-lobes this species is known for.

    Generally regarded as a coastal species growing at altitudes of 0-200m but I've seen almost identical variations on a population of Caladenias in Monga NP at 700m altitude.

  9. Spotted sun orchid (Thelymitra ixioides) in coastal heathland, Jervis Bay NP, NSW. Most plants at this location have no spots at all which is not uncommon with coastal populations. This wide spread species is much less shy to flower than many other sun orchids - in this case they were still open in the afternoon on a cool, completely cloudy day.

    Around Jervis Bay T. ixioides can often be seen flowering in early September (or even late August) - most plants here had either already completely finished or only had a few flowers remaining in mid-September. The plants I regularly see further south in East Gippsland don't usually even start to emerge until October.

  13. First flying ducks (Caleana major - large duck orchid) of the spring near Jervis Bay, NSW. Out pretty early here compared to the ducks I see most seasons further south in East Gippsland - often as late as mid-November.

  17. 3M knew its PFAS firefighting foam was poisoning the environment — and said nothing. Now Australia is suing them for $2 billion to claw back what taxpayers have already spent cleaning up 28 contaminated Defence bases. The company's response? - We stopped selling it here 20 years ago.

    Cool, cool. The forever chemicals are still very much here though, aren't they.

  25. Wildlife officials still searching for #humpback #whale #entangled in rope off the #Gippsland coast.

    The juvenile whale was first seen late Saturday heading slowly south about 250 metres off the coast of #CapeWellington.

    The animal was seen again on Sunday morning & was described as moving “very slowly”, appearing underweight.

    It’s likely to be the same whale seen earlier this month in #JervisBay, #NSW. Members of the public who see the animal are urged to call the hotline on 1300 136 017.

  26. Divers help free critically endangered grey nurse sharks from fishing gear

  27. Looks like the ACT, Tasmania, and NT really punch above their weight when it comes to the Fediverse.

    So for folks in Tassie and the territories, I'm keen to know what the split is?

  31. Did you see #JervisBay primary school on #ABC730 last night? We did and then today on a walking trail we bumped into them - 10 kids, 2 teachers and an Indigenous leader sharing knowledge with the enthusiastic children, linking the seasons of the wattle with the timing of whale migration up and down the coast.

  32. Riding solo around the Nowra / Jervis Bay part of the coast, while on a family holiday. Good roads, decent drivers, beautiful destinations and almost perfect weather ( I can cope with the headwinds but a little cooler would be better).

    I used Strava to find a couple of routes within my capabilities that matched my preferences and I was very pleased with both.

    Day 1: Nowra Loop through dairy country (60km)
    Day 2: Callala Beach and Point Perpendicular (75km)

  36. Earlier I shared a #VintagePostcard of Westward Ho in Jervis Bay. Well, here's a card written from there.
    Dated 27/12/1950
    Sent from Peggy to her parents. She was having a nice trip and had morning tea on the train, and had a lovely room at Westward Ho.
    She asked her mother not to do any work (due to a bad leg). Peggy was going to help out when she got home. She wished them all a Happy New Year.

  39. Have a #VintagePostcard why not?
    Westward Ho, Jervis Bay, NSW
    No postmark, I'd guess 1950s.
    Chris sent to his parents to let them know he'd spent a week here, the weather was changeable but the golf was good. ("plenty of the 19th").
