This mornings walk was interrupted by a pod of dolphins at Rose Bay! I’ve never seen dolphins this far into the harbour, and it was such a treat!

They happily frolicked around to the delight of everyone (except the commuters late for work on the ferry that couldn’t leave the wharf til they did 🤭🐬)

As think of all those impacted by the Lindt Cafe siege 10yrs ago, we must also reflect upon whether Govts have truly listened to and learnt from this tragedy.

The social media firestorm amid Aprils Bondi Jtn & Wakeley attacks demonstrate there is far more work to do

'It's always with you': The day terror came to the heart of Sydney
It is 10 years today since a lone-wolf gunman walked into the Lindt Cafe and took 18 people hostage, demanding politicians declare Australia was under attack from Islamic State.

In possibly the most Bondi moment ever, the kids “lemonade, bake sale, friendship bracelets & toys” stand down the road includes a banana duct-taped to a Kmart frame…

Perhaps the first lemonade stand to hit the $10mil mark! Aim for the stars kids! (Context: www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...)
Banana taped to wall sells for nearly $10 million at auction
A piece of conceptual art consisting of a banana duct-taped to a wall has sold for $US6.2 million ($9.57 million) at an auction in New York.

The NINETY SECOND woman lost to violence this year in Australia and the 18th Indigenous woman.

#DomesticViolence is a scourge and will continue unless we adress systemic misogyny. 💔💔💔

A glimpse of last Saturdays farmers market produce with this amazing peach and nectarine upside-down cake! Only the second time I’ve made this (& many thanks to my 1st taste-tester @drruthmitchell.bsky.social) but it’s so good! Lemon and yoghurt cake balance the fruit well.

Here is a penguin

It’s an Adélie penguin

It’s my placeholder penguin til I can sort my photos from an epic day out walking on the sea ice around the Swain Island group ~40 minutes away from Casey station
