Pristine rainforest and 'dirty' diesel generators in the World Heritage listed Wet Tropics of Queensland.

"A luxury lodge in the area, burns about 400 litres of diesel a day in the summer months to power air conditioners, fridges and wastewater treatment plants. It is very expensive, very dirty and very cumbersome to run a diesel generator to operate a resort".

Re #introduction. Having been here for a few weeks now realise it makes sense to tell people what I am likely to #toot about. Follow me if you want your feed lightly peppered with:
#music gear, interesting and eclectic #music links, #archaeology #history #neuroscience and #philosophy of #mind a bit of #auspol especially where it relates to #policy and of course #digitalhumanities #archives of #theatre which is the field of my #PhD (nearly finished). I post pics of #animals and #plants fairly regularly. I like to interact with people who #comment but don’t want to #argue sorry I have an #anxiety condition. If that’s your cup of tea or #dram of #whisky then come aboard. Pic is the creek that runs through our block where we live in the #daintree #rainforest
