Rocky Mountain High 🦃
We had our first real Thanksgiving this year. An amazing two weeks with family in the Rocky Mountains—snow, games, and food. So much delicious food.
Can’t wait to go back.

Don’t eat too much candy. 🎃

Sleepy.

My in-laws were asking about the yellow buoys we can see out from the beach where we’re staying, which reminded me of a shark net explainer I drew a few years ago…
-
My office for the next few days.
-
Hey there, mate… It’s been a big couple of days.
-
Some friends and I were having a laugh trying to generate images. This was supposed to be one of them in the gutter with a parrot on his shoulder.
It’s just great.
-
Some Christmas Parrots and a Cockatoo.
-
Happy New Year!
-
I’m sure I could make your hand fit mine, if I deliver these custard trays on time.

Fluffy.

After 5 days my fingerprints have returned sufficiently that Touch ID works about 5% of the time…
-
The end of a great week of GUE DPV Cave training in Ginnie Springs with Kirill and my teammate Bori. The most fun class I’ve taken in ages.
-
An update, I have one “Ginnie Finger” today. Limestone is grindy. 😬
We made it to 3700 feet in the Heinkel section of Devil’s in Ginnie today. I think the hardest part was dealing with a bouquet of empty stages and multiple scooters in the Eye for deco.
One day to go… we dropped everything before the Heinkel and swam through today, but tomorrow we’re taking scooters through.
-
While I don’t have “Ginnie Fingers”… after a week of diving in High Springs I can no longer use Touch ID to unlock my Mac. 🫵😬
-
It’s a bloody long way from Brisbane to High Springs.

-
First thing.

Old mate is having a day.

On October 14 we are being asked to vote on one simple thing
Should the following amendment be made to the Australian Constitution:
Chapter IX Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples
129 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice
In recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia:
i. there shall be a body, to be called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice;
ii. the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice may make representations to the Parliament and the Executive Government of the Commonwealth on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples;
iii. the Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws with respect to matters relating to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, including its composition, functions, powers and procedures.
The question on the referendum is simply:
A Proposed Law: to alter the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.
Do you approve this proposed alteration?
Whatever else you’ve seen, heard, or believe, the only things that matter are the amendment and question above.

We’re coming down to the wire… If you’ve got a few bob laying about, please consider donating to Steptember and helping kids with cerebral palsy.
-
Some workmates and I are participating in Steptember this year, hoping to raise money for Cerebral Palsy.
If you have a few spare bucks, please consider donating.
-
A day on the bay.
-
No strawberry sundaes, but there were cows…
Breakfast and lunch at Montville and a great day walking around Kondililla Falls—more of a trickle at the moment!

An unexpected guest.
