The Australia BOM has declared a positive Indian Ocean Dipole underway. The +IOD should remain weak and persist into December or January. The combination of #ElNino & +IOD should be good for the NE monsoon in S #India, but can result in dryness concerns in portions of #Australia.

US photographer Berenice Abbott (1898-1991) returned to the United States in 1929 after a time in Europe, and began a series on cityscapes which she called “the spirit of the metropolis" #Womensart

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time! One Nation and Pauline Hanson have ALWAYS been about this.

An insomniac Richard Nixon came to the same spot at 2.00 a.m. on May 9, 1970 to speak with a gaggle of Vietnam war protesters. He was near the end of his Presidency. This Trump appearance has a similar fin de regime feeling.

Thank you Sandra @goatvet for everything you’ve done for Aussie goat producers. So very sad to hear of Dr Baxendell’s passing via FB today. 😔 She was one of the few people who goat producers knew we could trust implicitly her veterinary knowledge about our animals. 🐐🐐

Severe deforestation has led to all Gibbons being endangered. These incredible primates are known for their loud singing through the rainforest, but these melodies have mostly disappeared. 🌳🎶❌ Most species remain in small forest patches, with poaching also threatening. 🥲🐒

Ditch the Dunny Creeper & English Ivy. Use native climbers. Clematis aristata has a HUGE range in SE Aus. SA to Qld. It's very important to feed a whole food chain of insects, birds, & native mammals while having excessively pretty flowers & giving dappled shade.

Baby elephants don’t get much cuter than Comet. Born just last week, she is fresh from the womb but already walking around and doing what infant elephants are wont to do: sticking by Mum and figuring out how everything works. Her mum, Chaimu, is an orphan we raised and returned to the wild. She has a stellar support network around her to nurture Comet through her infancy – and, as doting grandparents, we can’t wait to watch this beautiful little girl grow up in the wilds of Tsavo.
