Australian policy settings lack imagination. They are rooted to colonial times of making individuals pay & be “accounted for” rather than collective decisions that help people & the nation thrive. 1/

Here is an idea. 🤔 Make public transport free. No need to worry about fare evasion, no need to police fare evasion. The cost is justified in less cars on the road, less pollution, less road damage, more equity, quieter cities etc…

Reduced subsidies on fossil fuel use to make up for loss of revenue

Sydney has the highest fare evasion rates in Australia. What can it learn from Melbourne and Brisbane?

Expert says the best way to support a growing public transport network and keep revenue coming in is to keep services reliable and ticket costs affordable

But they continue to face ongoing threats from human activities, including entanglement in fishing gear, ship strikes, shipping noise & habitat degradation. My photos from a glorious day onboard ‘Bubbles’

After the whaling industry hunted them almost to extinction they have been protected in the SH since 1963 & a worldwide moratorium on whaling was declared in 1986. The current estimate of the population in the SH has recovered to approx 36,400 individuals

& on the journey south Southern Hemisphere (SH) congregate in sheltered bays en route. Feed on marine invertebrates (mainly krill in the SH) & small schooling fish usually by bubble net - a cooperative feeding method, a team effort to disorient & corral the fish into a "net" of bubbles.

Humpback Whale: generally inhabits the open ocean, except during the annual migration between cold water feeding areas & the warmer calving grounds. During this time they often appear close to the coast

Feed on aquatic animals, such as fish, turtles & sea snakes but also birds & mammals. Skilled hunters & will attack prey up to the size of a swan.
Found in coastal & near coastal areas of Australia, also New Guinea, Indonesia, China, south-east Asia & India. Usually seen perched high in a tree

They form permanent pairs that inhabit territories throughout the year. Build a large stick nest which is used for many seasons in succession in tall trees but also on the ground or on rocks if no suitable trees.

White-bellied Sea-Eagle: I photographed this beauty last time we were in Bermagui. The second largest raptor found in Australia & as in other raptors, males are slightly smaller than females.

As we prepare for a birthday/birding trip to Bermagui & Mallacoota thought I’d post some more of my bird collages & other random things. This one a Black-fronted Dotterel, 2023

Gorgeous and their nests are amazing!

Breeding pairs defend territories during the season. The female builds a neat, woven, sometimes fragile, cup nest from green materials such as moss, in the understorey of forests or in hedges, vines & garden shrubs. She incubates the eggs alone, but both parents feed the young.

They can be seen in large flocks with several thousand birds passing every hour in some places as they migrate north each autumn & return south each spring. Found in open forests & woodlands, often near water & wetlands. It uses ridges, sand dunes, valleys & rivers when migrating.

Yellow-faced Honeyeater: an active small-medium honeyeater, spending much time probing flowers or gleaning insects from the foliage of trees. Rarely seen on the ground.
