Not been here much of late so I thought I'd share a few photos from beautiful Lombok, Indonesia. The mountain is Mt. Rinjani, the largest in the Indonesian archipelago

😢Don’t mention the war . I read AlJazeera online everyday and then read abc Perth . Like living in a different world . More interest in the weight of a tragic teenager from a wealthy Perth burb than the death of 42,000 in Palestine .

I acquired a taste for these during my time living here. They seem to be unique to the coloured community here. I've never seen them in Perth, even in shops specializing in SA food

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

A pretty shameful oversight that at last night’s Walkley Awards there was no mention of the record numbers of journalists who have been murdered by the IDF over the past year.

These announcements are satire. SURELY.

I'm emailing out cartoons like this one every weekday. Sign up to join in the fun because at this stage we have to laugh or we'll cry
