I'm really enjoying Irreverent! Mission Beach is looking 🤩 Honestly it's a good thing FNQ has crocs and stingers or everyone would move there.

Best bit is hearing Australian birds in the audio track - so often they get it wrong even when a series is set in Oz

My current work task - writing comments on the appalling Toondah Harbour development proposal EIS, is dominating my life right now.
The EIS is massive -5000 pages- so I've been reaching out to experts in various aspects of it (marine ecology, fisheries, restorations, offsets) and my gratitude at how great this community of #moretonbay #stewards is immense. But I'm also SO SADDENED by how many have said "thank you for doing this because I can't/wouldn't be permitted".
Scientists, businesses, whoever....we're too far down the track for this. Writing expert comment on an EIS isn't inherently "political" but you know what is? Letting the development-crazy status quo continue unchallenged

Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon whether or not it becomes more popular than the birdsite.

This morning in the internationally important #Ramsar Wetland Area of Moreton Bay. In this exact location (#ToondahHarbour), a wealthy developer wants to excise part of the Ramsar Site AND the #MoretonBay #MarinePark for 3600 apartments in multi-story apartment blocks, and a 400 berth marina. It's obscene ☹️
