On a rainy day in Canberra I finally start my cross county drive to my on as lecturer in terrestrial biodiversity at @CEB_UWA @uwanews. Prepare for bird and frog updates!
Update 1: turns out crossing borders and moving across states will be even harder than expected. Part due to very poor details provided with tha approvals. Birds today (busy organising):
Update 2: motel owner suggested taking the non-Victoria way into south Australia. I was about the only one
Birding win is not running over the emu that made a sincere effort to meet my front tires
Dog abuse update: the picnic blanket with snacks and water is unacceptable to either dog. Indeed, the dirt and a plastic wrapped dog bed is better
Rural Australia update: no one buys a paper anymore so you can put a newspaper classified ad on tv. Literally an old school classified ad shown on the tv
There were actual ads but didn’t want to harass individuals.

Brilliant 80s thing in caravan park I wish I had: touch lamp! So good in the middle of the night.
Finn doesn’t wNt to sit in his seat. After forcing him to move he won’t look at me
Giant windmills > big galah
