I’ve already smashed out 150km from Newcastle to Forster today and have another 40km to get to Taree where I’m sleeping tonight.
Sore knees. But worth it with scenery like this for 50km through Myall Lakes National Park.

Sunrise over the Port of Newcastle, the world’s biggest coal export hub.
Awkward Australia!
We can’t keep killing ourselves that getting domestic emissions down while continuing to export massive amounts of coal and gas will create a safe future for our kids and Country.

Compassionate, honest, and accountable independent pollies like @allegraspender.bsky.social give me faith that Australia can not only meet the climate crisis challenge, but also become a better place in doing so.
I dropped in to thank Allegra today for all she does for our kids and Country.

Cruise ships are one of the worst things on the planet for climate and our environment.
A single ship like this can emit more toxic air pollution in a year than all the cars in Europe combined. That’s not leisure, that’s poisoning the planet. 👇🏽

With my brother Lee at the Aboriginal flag in Newtown. I stayed with him last night just around the corner.
Catch me at the Manly Ferry terminal at Circular Quay at midday if you’re around.

NSW Southern Highlands today.
I’ve cycled through thousands of hectares of canola, wheat, cattle and sheep. Not the wall-to-wall wind and solar that Barnaby Joyce, Angus Taylor and Matt Canavan carry on about.
This is the real regional Australia.

Fantastic to have multicultural participation on the agenda at #CitSciOz25.
With nearly half of Australians either born overseas or having a parent from a non-English-speaking background, making citizen science accessible and inclusive isn’t just fair - it’s smart science.

The Tumbarumba–Rosewood Rail Trail I rode on today is one of Australia’s best examples of rewilding old infrastructure.
So many of these disused lines could become corridors for Nature and we humans alike.

Words matter. Trump doesn’t lead an “administration” anymore, he rules a “regime”.

I tried to leave these olive branches at the Israeli embassy today to ask it to choose peace not persecution.
The cops politely told me the Israelis would go nuts if they weren’t removed.
So I left a few token branches and gave the rest to the Swedish Embassy across the road.
