Had a visitor this morning, as I wandered down to the boundary of the bush: a carpet python preparing to catch some sun.

Nathair mhòr a' lorg na grèine.

On my way through Kumbartcho Sanctuary yesterday I caught sight of a Noisy Pitta just off the track, industriously rummaging away in the leaf litter. Super exciting, I’ve never seen one before!

Sadly I only had my phone with me so I don’t have great footage.

#Brisbane #Meanjin peeps!

Don't forget the rally for climate change action this Thursday 17th Aug from 8am to 9:30am at the Convention Centre.

It's the Labor National Conference and several groups have united for this action: Move Beyond Coal, 350.org, Lock The Gate... I've also seen the Extinction Rebellion advertising it along roadsides.

Good morning Fediverse, what a brilliant blue sky we have in #meanjin on this chilly morning!

Good morning #Meanjin it is currently 21 degrees, overcast with a possible shower developing later today, though don't expect a lot of rain, maybe just a sprinkle! :)

#introduction Good morning #Meanjin!!! I'm Haru, I was born in Eudlo on the Sunshine Coast but moved to #BNE at age 2 and lived here ever since (34 years and counting)! I love this place dearly, but I'll be honest, I've always lived south of the river. My first house is in 4075, i lived for many years in 4101 (kurilpa), but settled down with my wife and dog back in 4075.

Check out @HaruEb for more about me!

There's a plethora of #walking #tours available in #Brisbane.

These folks seem to have a good rep https://www.walkbrisbane.com/ but I'm looking for recommendations of paths and places less well tread.

What would you suggest for #Meanjin #visitors #wearebrisbane

Blank Realm is a musical group from #Brisbane active since 2005. The group is composed of sibling members Daniel, Luke and Sarah Spencer (who are Australian born of Sri Lankan heritage) and guitarist Luke Walsh. They were described by the Guardian as having "a sound drawn from krautrock, New York’s no wave, New Zealand’s entire Flying Nun roster, and those closer to home, like the Go-Betweens".

Bugs are a 3-piece rock band from #Brisbane, formed in 2014.

Warning: The 2018 song Neighbourhood; contains lyrics about D. Is it suitable, rude, offensive or inappropriate? 🤷‍♀️

For those not yet familiar with our quintessential Queenslander architecture, that's why I chose this clip.
