  3. Quite windy at Bokarina Beach yesterday. No swimmers, but there were some people making use of the wind to fly kites.

  4. Went for a nice hike up Mt. Ngungun this morning with my parents, who are visiting from Victoria. The view was good, and the rain stayed away.

    This photo is of Mt. Coonowrin in front of Mt. Beerwah viewed from the top of Mt. Ngungun.

  5. 🐨🍼 Scientists at the University of the #SunshineCoast in #Queensland, #Australia, are milking #koalas to analyze their milk.

    They found the liquid contains unique proteins that kill harmful #bacteria and #fungi. The #research helps explain how joeys survive in their mothers’ pouches and offers clues for better koala #conservation.

  7. Three native bees gorging on the pollen of a pig face flower (Carpobrotus Edulis) - spotted yesterday on Teewah beach! Not only are the fruits of this plant edible (albeit pretty salty!) The juice from its succulent leaves has a couple of interesting medicinal properties: it can help treat sunburn, minor cuts, insect bites, stings, and even jellyfish burns! Given its preferred habitat of sand dunes and beach areas, this knowledge might come in handy one day. It also has antibacterial properties and can be used to treat minor mouth infections or a sore throat when mixed with water and used as a gargle. Are you growing pigface in your garden yet?
