First flight in 2025 (in ages really) from the #BushCapital to #Adelaide for the International Rangeland Congress #IRC2025
I enjoy flying but haven't missed it, particularly the 4am start & 3h frosty drive to the airport😴

Coffee date with a magpie.

The land occupied by #DenmanProspect suburb in #Canberra has a history that makes for a perhaps illustrative timeline showing #LandUseChanges with #Colonisation of #Australia.

And also showing the trashing of the #CanberraMasterplan that had #Canberra as a #BushCapital for a while.

I'll post in a while, universe willing, photos of a tiny fragment of this timeline.

Some #BushCapital #geology with a view from Shepherd’s Lookout near Belconnen, Canberra, overlooking the Murrumbidgee River. Early Silurian Walker Volcanics (dacitic ignimbrite) in the foreground forming the cliff.
@ajft Lots of beautiful orchids on Black Mt - it's amazing to be able to go for a quick walk and see half a dozen species out in spring - just minutes from the CBD of a national capital city :) #bushcapital
Back to base for a couple of days before summer break (so ready) #NgunnawalLands #ANU #BushCapital
