Today, at lunch, a wedge tailed eagle. No partner, hopefully he/she is on an egg or two in the nest?
On my walk, the white roo has returned! He's bigger, more muscled and much more confident. He's been away from his mum up here for some months.
Tonight, as we drove up the driveway, I had to stop and give way to a wombat. Also fat and well.

Wombat Butt Lore
A wombat has one of the strongest behinds on the planet. Fact. It's reinforced with a tough plate of cartilage across the lower back and rump, which helps protect it from predators. Wombats can back into their burrows and use that butt to crush dogs, foxes, or other attackers against the tunnel walls. They don't just defend; they kill with their butts. That butt gets itchy. And with stubby little legs and arms built more for digging than scratching, the wombat has to get creative. Cut to: […] -

I appreciate my friends' enthusiasm and curiosity about Australia, even when they are totally wrong 😂 Example from last night, a friend was admiring my coin pouch - it's printed with a tassie devil painting by Jon Kudelka.
Me, explaining that it's a tassie devil.
Them: oh! I saw one of them!
Me, skeptical: I didnt know you went to Tasmania?
Them: I didn't. Ohhh no, I'm thinking of the big carnivorous mammal...
Me, confused: a quoll?
Them: a wombat!!+100 points for enthusiasm, -100 points for factual accuracy 😂

#SouthAustralia - #PointPearce #FirstNations #CultureGarden
"#LandcareAustralia is proud to partner with #PointPearceAboriginalCorporation in establishing a First Nations community-led conservation and education project. Located in South #Australia’s Point Pearce in the #WardangIsland #IndigenousProtectedArea (IPA), the project is led by the #TraditionalOwners, the #Narungga people, and aims to support #Indigenous youth to learn about their Cultural heritage and knowledge that will lead to career and leadership pathways in #EnvironmentalConservation.
At the heart of this initiative is the Point Pearce First Nations Culture Garden, a space where #Elders, #FirstNationsRangers, and #IndigenousYouth come together to bridge and transfer #CulturalKnowledge. Designed as a hands-on learning environment, it will inspire young people to explore environmental conservation, deepen their appreciation for the natural world and discover career pathways that utilise Cultural knowledge.
The Culture Garden will feature a #medicinal and #ceremonial plant area, #NativeBushFoods, water features to attract #wildlife, #SensoryGarden, and dedicated spaces for learning and Cultural practice. With a #seedling #propagation zone, a #NativeSeed cleaning station, a fruit and nut #orchard, and interpretive walking trail. More than just a garden, it serves as a ‘cultural learning hub’—fostering pride and offering a comprehensive setting for community events, educational programs, and vocational training opportunities. With funding from #OneTreePlanted, the tree planting will also help #restore #NativeVegetation and improve habitat for threatened species including the Southern Hairy-nosed #Wombat.
Aligned with the South Australian Department for Education’s Aboriginal Education Strategy, the project aims to inspire engagement, Cultural pride, and environmental responsibility among First Nations students. It focuses on educational outcomes and how Cultural activities can play in enhancing social and academic competence among First Nations students."

156 years ago #onthisday, Top the wombat died. He was the pet of the poet and artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti who, upon Top's passing, created this self-portrait in mourning. More on Rossetti and co’s curious but longstanding fixation with the #wombat here: https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/o-uommibatto-how-the-pre-raphaelites-became-obsessed-with-the-wombat
