My son found a bowerbird bower a few blocks from home. I think it's a Great Bowerbird (that's its name, not my opinion).
This is not a nest. It is a Tinder profile that uses Instagram filters. The male builds this tunnel, and carefully arranges pale grey bits and pieces in an exact pattern, bigger at the front, smaller near the tunnel, shiny out the back. Then he stands in it. The foreshortening makes him look huge and sexy.

Love that you can walk the promenade in town and have this to yourself.
30 degrees 60% humidity and the perfect breeze.

#FNQ, so-called #Australia: 2023 #FirstNations #Homelessness #Fundraiser
https://chuffed.org/project/g7xljej9ebo1
"Societal conditions still have First Nations people highly over represented in homelessness and extreme poverty statistics; even more so now with the national crisis in rental/housing availability.
There are just not enough shelter beds and support for mob. In FNQ there are only 12 emergency shelter beds between Gimuy (Cairns) and Zenadth Kes (Torres Strait Islands) for homeless youth.
As a First Nations grassroots collective, we can provide direct support that many have been unable to get from Gov Depts and NGOs.
This is mob lookin after mob, without the wasteful overheads, restrictive practices and proper big admin costs of the big NGOs.
Help us to address the complex problem of First Nations homelessness in FNQ with the experience, community rapport and empathy that only First Nations People and staunch allies can provide!"

Our lovely beach, only a few steps from the house. With our heavy hearts we had a good pause, some deep breathing and stretch of the eyes.

My friend and her daughter got to meet one of the reef residents yesterday. His name is Wally and he's a Wrasse.

Ok, breathe. This is out the doors of our granny flat looking towards the road. I can hear the rain as it hits the big banana leaves. There is a slight breeze and cicadas are being noisy in the distance.

(If you head left you'll reach the beach where locals spotted a 3.5 metre croc before Christmas.)

I've been in the garden today filling the garden waste trashpack. A little cooler and drizzling which was lovely. The Hibiscus plants (both side of the path) are full of buds about to burst and the banana pups are coming up.

Owning the second day of the year in my favourite 70s swimmers that are probably from the year I was born.
