  8. Proposed polysilicon plant using Queensland sand seeks government approval.

    The plant will supply polysilicon, the key raw material in the solar photovoltaic (PV) supply chain and metallurgical silicon, the key raw material in computer chip supply chain.”

    Quinbrook has added a huge 750 MW battery to the plant design

  9. But #Queensland was singled out in the report for its progress on #renewableEnergy, including clean energy projects in regional centres such as #Townsville and #Gladstone, and its target to cut 75% of #pollution by 2035. The Sunshine State also had the greatest percentage of rooftop #solar panels installed in the country, with 50.2% of all homes covered. @guardian

  10. Sadly, the AirBnB we're staying in #Townsville isn't close enough to the laughing #kookaburras for us to be woken up by them in the morning (but it is across the street from a flying fox (fruit bat) colony that does the trick). Fortunately, we do get visits from blue-winged kookaburras who stop by each evening to get fed by our neighbors (and a little later in the night you can hear the bush stone-curlews wailing away). Very pretty birds. Magpie lark (peewie) is not so bad itself.

  11. Details of Tropical #CycloneJasper at 4:00 pm AEST:

    Intensity: category 2, sustained winds near the centre of 100 kilometres per hour with wind gusts to 140 kilometres per hour.
    Location: within 55 kilometres of 16.9 degrees South, 153.7 degrees East , 880 kilometres east of #PortDouglas and 850 kilometres east of #Cairns .
    Movement: southwest at 14 kilometres per hour .

    Tropical Cyclone Jasper, category 2, is moving in a general westwards direction. Jasper is forecast to maintain intensity during Monday and Tuesday. Jasper is forecast to intensify to a category 3 cyclone shortly before making landfall during Wednesday, most likely between #Cooktown and #Cardwell.

    Hazards:

    #DamagingWinds of 90 km/h are expected to develop along the Queensland coast between #Cooktown and #Ingham, including #Cairns from Tuesday. DAMAGING WINDS of 90 km/hr may extend as far south as #Townsville or as far north as #CapeMelville depending on Jasper's exact movement.

    #HeavyRainfall is expected to develop along the coast from late Tuesday.

    As the cyclone approaches the coast, #AbnormallyHighTides are possible and large waves are likely along the coast.

    Recommended Action:

    People between Cape Melville and Townsville, including Cairns and Cooktown, should consider what action they will need to take if the cyclone threat increases.

  16. I've finished "The Boy in the Dress", by Jonathan Butler. A great read! Part history, part memoir, it's a very personal exploration of homophobia in Australia, focusing on the Army during World War Two but also taking us into the present-day.
