geothermal pool in Latrobe Valley...

Latrobe Valley hot aquifer was 1st reported in 1962.
'Importantly, in almost every case, the water itself is returned to the aquifer after delivering its heat. In other words, water is not consumed in the production of geothermal energy, making it renewable and sustainable.' https://t.co/3QmD9zjG0N pic.twitter.com/Q0TenZFlAD

Ghosts of Christmas at Melbourne airport...

Ghosts of Christmas Past, Ghosts of Christmas Present and Ghosts of Christmas Yet To Come?
Yes...It's quite busy...

David Milner's latest 'ouch'...

The state of Australian federal politics, David Milner's uncut version.
Notice the introductory spew of alliteration:
'a rapey, racist, rorty rabble', describing 'Canberra's disease' in the political chambers of power so graphically.
It's worth a read... https://t.co/Or6FP81fAU pic.twitter.com/UcjV3t7I1N

Utterly brilliant as always...
For me, the standout comment: 'We are a nation entrapped by the myths we tell ourselves about ourselves... We are conditioned to love our coal and disdain our brains.'
Overall, the article = a fantastic 'ouch', scorching a burnt political desert.👏

I normally cherry-pick one or two sentences from your piece to retweet but this week’s entry is overladen with exquisite gems and excoriating truth-bombs. It must simply be read in its entirety as a magnum opus.

I wouldn't wish Morrison merry syphilis, so Albo is a much bigger man than I.

more storms?...

More storms for my Mornington Peninsula today?
Why not...
Add it to my crazy world...
1. Took outdated script to chemist.
2. Unintentionally parked in disabled carpark.
3. Signed document @ tax agent they forgot to give me yesterday.
4. Ensured tax agent didn't double charge. pic.twitter.com/0Pdxb8qQ76

tracks...

Intriguing scene...like silent history waiting to be valued...
Sometimes, I feel I wander metaphorical tracks...my metaphorical tracks left behind...
They are a time capsule where I wonder at the 'buildings' I may not have noticed before... https://t.co/gfW9nFGkyd
