Our beautiful birds are keeping me sane at the moment. Yet I fear for them so much with the awful Bird Flu that is circulating so quickly. Please support those who are helping them.

Earlier this year I had a lovely day with the always fun Wurundjeri Narrap Rangers and team from Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage AC. This site on Wurundjeri Country (Yan Yean) is of particular Cultural importance and part of a long term healthy country plan.

It's so wonderful to see a ranger team grow and grow over the years, but more importantly more involvement and consultation with Traditional Owners, right in my home town!

The Wurundjeri Narrap Rangers are always such fun to be around, thank you for having me out on Country.

Water and fire of Arnhem Land and the Gurruwiling (Arafura Swamp) Rangers as National NAIDOC Week comes to an end!

I love the wild, remoteness of Arnhem Land and what you can learn from First Nations.

Huge thanks to ASRAC for having us out there in what is a very busy dry season. Country Needs People

Celebrating National NAIDOC Week with the ASRAC !

The majesty of Gurruwiling - Arafura Swamp - a globally significant wetland & the largest paperback swamp in Australia! I reckon the photos speak for themselves and yes, it was awe-inspiring. The problem is introduced buffalo destroying the wetlands and important nesting habitat for birds and crocs. They were absolutely everywhere and the rangers huge job is to control their numbers. With 1000 sq km to cover its a huge area to cover. Gosh, can you imagine this place without Jabiru, Maggie Geese and Crocodiles!? I can't!

Ranger groups and First Nations need support and awareness on these issues. Thank you also to Country Needs People for their advocacy and storytelling!

Celebrating National NAIDOC Week - 50 years of deadly!

I start with the wonderful Arafura Swamp Rangers from a recent trip to Arnhem Land. The remit of the rangers is pretty big - fire, feral animals, weeds & better yet, a new Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) to celebrate.

The Arafura Swamp IPA was dedicated in 2025 and covers nearly 1.5 million ha (roughly the size of Sydney), including 336km2 of Sea Country.

A huge thank you to the ASRAC team, ASRAC and Traditional Owners who supported our visit there. And of course to the fab Country Needs People for supporting First Nations Rangers and much needed storytelling.

What's one positive of being home all week with a stupid lergie?!? You fiddle with your photos and come up with a Dragonfly appreciation gallery! I love love love dragonflies. They are magical to me, and they can mate while still flying! The first is a dragonfly frosted in the alpine region of Mt Kosciuszko, not dead just in a sort of torpor state - to wake when the sun heats him up. A sparkly fairy eh!

This is quite simply, a Southern Brush-tailed Rocky Wallaby appreciation post! Photographed when in the field with the fabulous folks of Barbaloot Conservation.

I recently had the delight of joining Barbaloot Conservation on a survey of their population of endangered Southern Brush Tailed Rock Wallabies. Barbaloot is part of Blast Group; Blast Group creates regenerative models to care for nature and Barabaloot is just one of their projects. This property in central Victoria can boast a genetically diverse, thriving population of southern brush-tailed wallabies - a crucial element in helping guarantee their future.

And these wallabies are quite simply, incredibly beautiful, curious and well, adorable. Huge thanks to the Barbaloot team for having me and for your amazing conservation efforts.

What makes you feel better when you catch a cold on a trip? Looking through your photos! I adore the Kimberley, this spot is Dambimangari Country and it is incredibly special. Was lucky enough to do a seaplane trip and boat trip around Horizontal Falls (which is part of the Buchaneer Archipelago). Was especially happy that Traditional Owners were a part of the trip we did. Fascinating stuff.

The first shot includes morning fog and smoke haze from dry season burns. Bloody amazing I thought!
