Yeah I have cancelled my debit card and just getting step pay for emergency if I need to use card purchases. Should be all fine
That's good to hear.
This is just the best news. Drought for years caused species to "hang on by a thread"... even be thought extinct.
The La Nina rains have got them back out of whatever hole they were "hanging on" in and start thriving.
Bandicoot, Bilbis, and others seem to have made a brilliant comeback.
Given the choice between drought (El Nino) and rain (La Nina), I will always back rain... and Yes, even though it floods are devastating.
Fun way to announce that the animals are extra wet and horny now
Is there habitat restitution to go with it?
Or do they get vouchers for Maccas?
Go Regent Honeyeaters I hope you do well
Birds forgetting their songs. I guess we can put that in the 'least concern' basket and call it a day.
It doesn't sound like it. As it is it sounds like the numbers remaining in the wild may be even lower than they fear.
Apart from all the open cut mines now, anyone who purchased their own bit of bushland has been allowed substantial clearing of bushland. So far less habitat and far less birds.
FFS!... please be aware of the Koala warning sign on our roads and drive appropriately. The article gives ways that you, as a driver, can take to avoid these poor animals.
Not only have they recently had their tree habitat decimated by bushfire, then there are the greedy cunt developers who clear their tree habitat, all allowed by the NSW government, then there's the bit about thousands dying in those bushfires.
These poor buggas seem not to be able to take a trick... and idiot drivers kill mums and their babies because you're in a hurry.
Been dry as for a while now. I can always tell things are a bit crook when the turkeys are kicking up dust storms whenever they start digging around in the bush.
Really hoping it doesn't stay too dry when it really starts heating up all over the place.
not in dubbo, no
Are you taking the piss? It’s done nothing but fucking rain for about 4 months.
Yep. Last 10 days of November been raining a lot. 100ml+ in Central Coast.
Must live in Tibooburra with no TV or internet lol. It's been raining quite a lot in most places.
Not much in Newcastle area for past few weeks
Old mate must live somewhere in the state’s northwest. There’s been plenty of rain along the coast for months, and I’m sure we’ve all seen the devastation that flooding around the Riverina has caused
Yeah but Australia for you, it could rain for a year one week of sunshine as has never rained
Though it didn't as much media attention due to the flooding further south being much, much worse there was flooding up here too.

I just need some help and got questions for people who have done HSC or currently in senior grades.

Thank you!
When does it end? Will all the Southern Highlands towns like Picton, Thirlmere and even Bowral eventually be absorbed into Sydney’s metropolitan area?

Appins soon to be connected with rosemeadow by a big new development. Soon it will be almost a part of campbelltown
Progression is necessary as the world evolves... what do you want Picton to stay a prehistoric town as it is ?
Crays return to Murray River after 'Cinderella' transformation
Yay for crays!
My brother in law was part of this. Awesome project and brilliant reaction to the problem.
Good news story for the day.
Why are their front legs and claws so pale? Never seen colour like that before. Is it just a peculiarity to this strain of Cray?
They either had shed their old skin or their old claws & legs fell off & they regenerated new ones.
Yeh right, so will they darken to match as they age? Interesting
They're fixing a pipeline. Very loud, can't sleep so I thought might as well post it here. Very annoyed.
If it's emergency work, yes they can. Put some earbuds in and do your best.
Basically, they'll have up to 12:00am to make as much noise as they like, though they should still be using acoustic panels to try and block some sound.
After midnight, they won't be allowed to use an excavator hammer, or demo saw etc... But will still make plenty of noise.
It's not their choice. They don't want to be there either.
You can complain but all that will do is get the workers in trouble, it won't stop the works from being completed.
Forget emergency work… used to live in a place that backed onto the site of a new sub-station for the train line.
Over 12 months of nights where there was loud, intrusive sound and couldn’t sleep because of it. They did offer some nights to have in a hotel, but they were far and few between. I am all for progress so didn’t put in complaints but it is just part of city life.
The city is taking care of my pipeline we have a proper government i cant do this anymore why do bad things happen to good people
I remember growing up in sugar cane country, the trucks would rumble past at all hours of the night, shaking the windows of the house on the way past
Righto. I'll try
I live in Maitland
Oh geez. I got no excuse for you then. This is just rude. Complain to council.
Now re-establish the royal comission into child abuse, and start rounding up cops and politicians who illegally strip-searched children.
Add them to a child abuse watch list.
Rich people will get away with it. The cunts always do.
But....but...he took scomo's bins out!
I agree with this decision.
NSW Rental laws should not change from town to town.
I agree more should be done about the housing crisis, but incentives for landlords seems a more reasonable approach.
Either have this law be passed statewide, or not at all I say.
> Either have this law be passed statewide, or not at all I say.
Agreed. The hilarious part is that it isn't even for the entire shire, Bryon Bay itself is exempted.
Are you serious...
Why am I shocked, but not surprised
Going on a trip to Blackheath. Any lookouts, walking tracks, restaurants, historic locations you enjoyed? Anything you didn’t? Tips and tricks? Anything welcome!
Blackheath, great little town.
Blue Mountains Heritage Centre is a good starting point, Govetts Leap is a pretty good view and walk I’m told. Porters Pass is also pretty nice.
Up at Mt Victoria, there’s a couple of nice little spots, namely Victoria Falls, Pulpit Rock and Bushrangers Cave, plus a museum.
Down the road at Katoomba, Scenic World and the Three Sisters are pretty popular with tourists, and with good reason. Leura Mall has a couple of nice eateries and a lolly shop to die for
From Blackheath you can head down towards Megalong Valley which has a pretty nice winery down the bottom and a tea house, it also has the 6 foot track but that’s more of a activity you need to train up for.
If you’re feeling up to it you can drive further out toward Jenolan Caves for a cool tour! I’m pretty sure they’ve reopened again after a few road closures!
Otherwise if you stick more towards the Katoomba area for the day there’s a lot of small easy walking tracks to do. Just avoid Yellow Deli it’s run by a cult and there’s tastier food options around.
I highly recommend Lockleys Pylon walking track, outside Luera.
Stop for a pie at Mountain High Pies at Wentworth Falls.
Best pies in the Blue Mountains.
The pool - go to Blackheath swimming pool.
Lost city is pretty cool, same with split rock.
Katoomba Street has a lot of pretty neat historical places; The Savoy is basically the same 50s diner it's always been, Pickwicks and the basement of Macarthurs has some mad antiques and collectibles to browse, the whole Carrington hotel scene is pretty dope, and the Elephant Bean has some kickass coffee.
Traffic can be off the hook on weekends check rta live and try and avoid coming down the mountain lunch time or after on Sundays
Personally I love the chinese restaurants in the area.. Leura Chinese, Lawson Chinese in the Bowling Club and Katoomba's Chinese restaurants all good in my books.. but most if not all punch above their weight imho
I don't travel much within blue mountains but I find the view of Katoomba from the top of the library is really nice and something I don't hear about much.. you get to see all the buildings from a nice vantage point and everyone looks like the sims or little people just walking around enjoying their lives.. that and three sisters echo point are nice look outs imho
i actually have no idea of any historic locations in the area.. there is an art gallery in katoomba that is about all i know really for touristy stuff
Love seeing Yellow Deli getting called out rather than "that quaint little themed place on the corner"
Took the train down to the Gong to watch the Hawks-Kings game. I've been to the Showground upstairs but it's my first time at their Ent Cen.
Good match tonight
it would be absolutely incredible if someone could ship me a packet so I could do some tests and figure out what's going on
Very brief, to the point explanation of why I'm intrigued by this: Spinach should not make you trip. No contaminants that could potentially be introduced to spinach should make you trip. The only way this could possibly happen would be through some seeeeriously shady shit, which I'd like to understand before costco try cover it up.
Thank you for reading my incredibly odd request
I read a report that said an 'unknown/unidentified' weed/plant had infiltrated the spinach crop, and when the spinach was harvested, the additional weed/plant was unknowingly included too. I doubt there will be a cover up, Australian food standards authorities don't usually let these things slide, especially since 9 people (so far) are hospitalised.
If you are an actual researcher (as opposed to someone that just wants to go tripping) contact the Dr featured here from the poison information line. I’m sure he will be able to give you more info on what’s going on (he’s I great guy, I was camping with him last week )

We had some issues a while back with needles being in packets of strawberries, so I personally wouldn’t be shocked if they were intentionally laced with something.
[removed]
Sounds like a workers stash fell in the spinach machine. That or a drug shipment got products mixed up
I can't help you with a packet but agree, this seems super weird. Hallucinations from lettuce? There's a pretty big pls explain to do I think.
The health warnings suggested it is causing anti-cholinergic effects, if our resident horticulturalists can track down which plant can cause that then you probably have your answer
I'll be honest, that sounds a little suspicious to me. Hallucinogenic plants, although plentiful and prolific, are not easy to miss! There's so many of them, but if this one managed to sneak into peoples spinach unidentified and it's still not known what it is, that is an agricultural and pharmaceutical "miracle" of sorts
