Still love the name of the newly opened (9th July 2021) Aquatic Centre at Rosebud on the Mornington Peninsula...
'Yawa' = the Bunurong/Boon Wurrung word for 'to swim'.

NSW needs hard lockdown...

I am really battling fears for NSW...A hard lockdown is so urgently needed...Close non-essential services PLUS limit travel (5km)...The contacts are so widespread, the latter must be included...It will only take one covid-ridden person to transmit the virus to regional areas...

Of these locally acquired cases, 35 are linked to a known case or cluster – 25 are household contacts and 10 are close contacts – and the source of infection for 9 cases remains under investigation.

King Island in Bass Strait, just north of Tasmania has a kelp industry. But only kelp that has been dislodged and deposited on rocks and beaches is collected. By December 2018, there were 31 kelp-getters on King Island...https://t.co/V1jkje7BQx

Night sky captured on the Menindee Road, Broken Hill about 8:00pm...
Minus the bustle of urban lights, the outback sky offers the gift of magic and wonder...

outback Ivanhoe has frost...

The photo below seems ordinary...
But this area is outback NSW...usually drought- ridden...
Ivanhoe is a marginal desert town of about 100 (not 350) people - according to the locals...
Seeing a road sign framed in frosty gound is amazing...
