Jon FIt looks like the rain has passed us, but we are still getting some pretty strong wind gusts in the Batemans Bay area.
kauer@AvonVilla So how goes the BBLUG? No blog activity since August 2025, so I'm guessing not much 😠

More than 250 years later, in a first for NSW, the Walbunja people have been handed back a 120-hectare heritage-listed private property at Monga, owned by the estate of the late environmental activist, academic and philosopher Val Plumwood."

Philosopher and ecofeminist Val Plumwood was " against the "hyperseparation" of humans from the rest of nature and what she called the "standpoint of mastery"; a reason/nature dualism in which the natural world—including women, indigenous people, and non-humans—is subordinated." ( Wikipedia)
