This is what they're planning to bulldoze, level and concrete over.

If you haven't done so, please fill in a submission for the Section 10 application under the ATSIHP act (only takes a few seconds) to get the First Nations cultural significance of this site recognised:

Lots of people in Brisbane ridiculing the absurd laws against saying the words river and sea. Crisafulli and the LNP deserved the mockery they received. Israel is a terrorist state.

Joined more than 40 locals to plant more than 730 plants this morning. This area was cleared of weeds to prepare for it. It's part of an important urban nature corridor along Norman Creek, connected to the bushcare site I usually volunteer at. A koala was spotted in this area not long ago, looks like they might be exploring beyond their Whites Hill and Toohey Forest hotspots.

Anyone in the #Meanjin / #Magandjin / #Brisbane / #SEQ area keen to organise an "upcycling your old laptop with Linux" community event with me?

Hey #Meanjin / #Magandjin / #Brisbane people, reminder that we are doing a critical mass protest on our bikes today, 5 pm, starting from Raymond Park in Kangaroo Point.

Event: https://m.facebook.com/events/26438874392465778/

In Annerley, we can smell the smoke from a hazard reduction fire in Karawatha. Relieved that it's not out of control, but still impressive to smell it this far.

Last day to give feedback on the proposed #Fairfield Walking Network Plan, which applies to #Annerley too.

There's a survey and a mapping activity.

Any recommendations for native hedges friendly to birds and other wildlife in south-east Queensland, that grow to about 3 m and are bushy enough to be good screening?
I want to slowly replace our boundary hedge made of 50/50 skyflower and mock-orange.

Edit: SKYflower! Not sunflower!! 🤦‍♂️

Have you walked, scooted, cycled or wheeled on Annerley rd in #Magandjin / #Brisbane? Or have you ever wanted to do that but found it inadequate?
Council is running a survey and a mapping activity to get people's opinions, experiences, and suggested improvements to plan for potential changes in active travel infrastructure for this important part of the network.

"Save Victoria Park" is working to protect Barrambin / Victoria Park from being wrecked by the planned olympic games stadium.

Legal action was taken this week (2025-08-05), with the lodgement of an application to the Federal Government for permanent legal protection of Barrambin by the YMAC - Yagara Magandjin Aboriginal Corporation.

You can support their work by chipping in toward the expensive legal process:

Who's keen for organising an #endOf10 event in #Magandjin / #Meanjin / #Brisbane ?
Thinking the local #Annerley community centre might be a good spot.
BCC libraries have been in my experience difficult to convince to organise one-off community run events, unfortunately (at least, to get it on their program/website for advertising). But let me know if you've had a different experience.

Anyone in or around #Annerley, let us know if you need a hand with anything, we might be able to help before / after #Alfred #cycloneAlfred.
