Well, here it is, the most scenic public toilet in Australia (apparently) - judge for yourself !
It's a great view, but surely there must be some strong competition out there.

It's halloween here in Australia and even though it is spring, bright and warm, we still like to celebrate. Especially the @underworldcode.org geodynamics team with our uw-bat logo and professor diablo at the helm. We were thinking to sneak to the @science.org.au shine dome to make some changes ...

An analysis of the science we need in Australia to face future challenges. Very worrying outlook for earth sciences here.
Key takeaways include:
“We aren't training enough geoscientists”

I found my electronics O-level project. It’s an )darkroom) enlarger timer. After a large number of decades in my childhood bedroom, I plugged it in once again and it works !!
I just remember discovering the hard way how sensitive chips can be to static electricity (and how expensive they were).

The oysters were good though.

I’m pretty sure somebody switched my sunscreen for cheap fake tan. The smell-txt for the image would describe a strange, rusty aroma.

Living in the cat food machine, caught once by the cat and chased around the house …
Now free a few hundred metres up the street. Stay tuned to see if she returns.
