Was more interested in just being in place in Coorong than taking pictures. Did play around with panos however. Would use a different lens for this one next time but it does capture something.

Back from a rainy couple of days on the Bulga Plateau, NSW.

Just like many of Australia's forests it is under threat from logging. For those interested you can find out more here:

Full set of pictures from Tasmania (including the panorama Instagram will not post). Other wildlife highlights include spotting a Spotted-tail Quoll and Latham’s Snipe, a low-cooing Brush Bronze-wing, burrowing crayfish chimneys and lots of Hoodies! Also saw big changes in the landscape since last time I was there nearly a decade ago. The impact of the fires is very stark.

Most are from the takayna / Tarkine. The coast is my favourite. It stands full-faced and arms-wide into the waves and winds of the Southern Ocean.

Its First Nations history and natural diversity - its rainforests, millennia-old trees, dry forests, rivers, creeks, and heathlands - is astonishing. This richness is contrasted by evident severe social disadvantage.

Lots of discussion with my beloved and new and old Tasmanian friends on how to sustain this global wonder. I pondered while driving around the island what it would take to get a well-funded community-led discussion within the region about mutual coexistence in its future.

Such a national teasure. Can go hours without seeing another person and just having the sound of the wind, water and wildlife.
