This beautiful lady is Solenopsis invicta. Measuring barely over 2 mm long, she is a member of an incredibly successful species.

Unfortunately, she is far outside her native range, and doing incredible damage to her local ecosystem.

It isn't her fault that she's a fire ant.

Just been for a run in the rain which is always fun. Had to divert from usual path as Kedron Brook is spilling over for third time in 3 wks. More rain tomorrow and Friday due to an ex TC hovering over #Brisbane.

This room was decent, if slightly old-fashioned in places. Reception could be better. Room 1061 was already occupied, sadly. Great emergency coffee. Bathroom floods a bit. etc

if you're the kind of Australian who's interested in having a physical street atlas for the current year - be warned, UBD Gregory's is shutting down.

Rumor is Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth will get one more edition in August[?], but for everywhere else (seemingly including Melbourne and Tasmania), what's on shelves is probably the final edition.

now please excuse me while i tag spam

Disappointingly, the BCC has rejected 3 applications for government funded community batteries.

They are apparently ~1.2m². If so I'd be happy with it in my front yard.

If you're in Brisbane write to the mayor https://ofpm.brisbane.qld.gov.au/site/wss/form/contact-lord-mayor

Or where the batteries were to be placed:
The Gap thegap.ward@bcc.qld.gov.au
Nundah Northgate.ward@bcc.qld.gov.au
Newmarket
