Stone the crows mate!



Take a gander at this one. Struth, it's a whopper!





With 45 crocodile sightings in the Cairns area over the past 12 months it pays to be environmentally aware.



We hear a great deal about the need for us all to be responsible supporters of environmental conservation. It seems however, we also need to be aware of personal safety in our own back yard!




Have a read of the story
about the crocodile in this photograph in The Cairns Post. Although he has his head in a bag, this handsome chap is 4.35 metres long - and that dear folk, is no tall tale.




The highlighted links in this article offer great stories and will take you on a wonderful voyage of discovery. Come back and visit me soon. You are very welcome.

Where ever you live, have a great day!

Have you cleaned up today?

Australia celebrated ‘Clean up Australia Day’ today. No lighting up the Barbie or relaxing by the pool. Not even wading into the surf or spine bashing beneath a tall shady tree! So, what is this celebration all about? How do we celebrate as a Nation?

Take a look at this site and see for your self. All around our Nation today people picked up rubbish and junk around their neighborhoods, transferring it all to garbage processing plants.

Amazingly, 1 million people today in Australia moved out of their comfort zones, collecting and disposing of many thousands of tons of rubbish and litter. Together, we can all make a difference to our environment. Individually, we can continue this good work by being responsible with how we dispose of all our rubbish, at home and also when we are out and about. This may mean making some behavioral changes when we handle disposable items. Even our gardens, streets, roadways and public parks will be so much nicer when collectively we remember to responsibly deal with our litter.
