from side-show alley...

Dave's brilliant final words on side-show alley='What does Scott Morrison do? He does the appearance of things. Stare too intently and the illusion shatters – just like any good piece of marketing. He is the appearance of a Prime Minister.' Our man in the iron mask - upside down. https://t.co/AdJBIW2Z39 pic.twitter.com/WXAJBGRPmC

celebrating jacarandas...

The University of Sydney used to have a magnificent jacaranda in the main quad. It served as the backdrop for many graduations and weddings. The tree lasted 88 years till 2016. But in 2014, cuttings were taken and grafted on other jacarandas. Successful clones meant life renewed. https://t.co/xwHbpPDbey
