Si Fuller<p>The thing about there being a cyclone about, is it really brings the sky candy.<br>The first is looking east-southeast, toward the developing system.

Bruce Davie<p>Just back from a bucket-list hike along the Thorsborne trail, Hinchinbrook Island in far north Queensland. A moderately challenging 4 days - the main challenges being rock hopping and a few river crossings. Absolutely spectacular and with brilliant waterfall-fed swimming holes along the way. 10/10 would recommend. Saw no crocodiles. Which was a good thing given the river crossings. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hiking</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/bushwalking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bushwalking</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/straya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>straya</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FNQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FNQ</span></a></p>
Si Fuller<p>My son found a bowerbird bower a few blocks from home. I think it's a Great Bowerbird (that's its name, not my opinion).</p><p>This is not a nest. It is a Tinder profile that uses Instagram filters. The male builds this tunnel, and carefully arranges pale grey bits and pieces in an exact pattern, bigger at the front, smaller near the tunnel, shiny out the back. Then he stands in it. The foreshortening makes him look huge and sexy.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>birds</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/WildOz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WildOz</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildlife</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FNQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FNQ</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/mareeba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mareeba</span></a></p>
