  3. Cycling Through Jekyll and St. Simons Islands: A Historical Journey

    Exploring the Historical Layers of Jekyll and St. Simons Islands in Georgia: A Cyclist’s Journey with Road Scholar.

  9. WaterNSW criticised for ‘appalling’ decision after hundreds of turtles left to die in wetlands

    "Environmental flows refer to water released by the government from dams and tributaries into rivers and ecosystems to restore their health. The Gingham watercourse is home to three turtle species, the broad-shelled turtle, the Murray River turtle and the eastern long-necked turtle."

    "Cutmore said she was “not happy with what’s gone down” and was concerned irrigators were “calling the shots over and over”.
