Arthurs does the best chips in Musso and the takeaway next to Coles in Scone does good chips too (I rarely eat fish so have no experience with Musso fish)

First night away and tucked up in the back of the van, one closed road so had to backtrack, my stove is in need of repairs but the backup worked so noodles and boiled egg for dinner, a few beers and settling in.

And obligatory holiday food spam photo.

I have an elderly sight impaired volunteer who loves cooking, I also have a colleague who indulges in recreational baking a few times a week. Is it wrong that I play them off against each other?

(neither has kids or husband so I'm not stealing food from their families)

It's been a couple of busy months delivering training workshops etc, I'm looking forward to not speaking to people for a week! (but there will be random photos)

Well, may not be all that pretty but there'll be a design or two in here that should work. www.agriculture.gov.au/sites/defaul...

Any truth they're sent around in groups of 3 so there's one to read, one to write and one to keep an eye on the dangerous intellectuals?

I'll have to forward this on to my regional weeds committee contacts, I'm sure they'll get a laugh out of the sheer impracticality.

At Risk - Declining tirauriki/dwarf mistletoe/Korthalsella salicornioides.

The nodules on the stems are individual fruit which each contain a single seed.

These build pressure as they grow and eventually explode, firing the sticky seed up to a metre away, hopefully to land on another host. 🌏

A 40kW reactor? That's about 9 times the solar panels I have on my shed, so, umm...

Oh yes, my Hardenbergia is flowering, my Dodonaea is already setting seed, just waiting for the Blue Grass to do it's thing then I'll know for sure.

I saw a big fat bluetongue lizard soaking up the rays today, I was tempted to join him/her.

Well I wore my Sunday dress to the county fair
With a low-cut front and a wild, teased hair
I was feelin’ fine, struttin’ like a queen
Till I met a man with a pie machine

Not today but yesterday for my 60th birthday I managed a couple of reps of this (20kg plates - 240kg all up). I was pretty pleased with that.

I've also been involved with one plant where we managed to get it moved down the priority list (rare indeed!) by getting out there and doing targeted surveys for it - it was thought to have only 500-1000 individuals, we'd have found over 10k (and learnt a lot on it's ecology while doing it) /end

I've read & reviewed a few recovery plans, most are fairly bland & uninspiring, for a RP to work it needs baseline data, funding & appropriately qualified staff to implement. I've seen $M's thrown at Grassy Box Woodland but no baseline, no monitoring & staff not educated on GBW. /1
