Where are the rest of his legs???

Our Australian Jewish community is welcome and loved. No one should ever live in fear of being attacked for being who they are.

Light will always overcome darkness. Good will always triumph over evil.

We will stand together against hatred and NEVER allow anything like this to happen again. (5/5)

there were strangers protecting strangers, Muslims protecting Jews, people of all backgrounds doing what they could to put an end to the senseless violence.

Because ultimately, we are all human. We are all united and stand together. (4/5)

However, through the bloodshed and terror were also incredible acts of bravery and selflessness and displays of these values.

People risked their own safety to protect their fellow human beings from these monsters. It didn't matter what ethnicity, culture or religion they were; (3/5)

Australia is a multicultural nation where ALL people, regardless of origin, religion or ethnicity are invited to live in peace and harmony.

The violence which unfolded that evening was not just an attack on our Jewish community, but on Australian values as a whole; unity, respect and dignity. (2/5)

Remember this whenever you feel like all hope is lost.

Remember this when you feel like giving up and ending it.

Remember, there will always be hope. (5/5)

Now, long after the fires, the waratah has healed and grown back.

After all it went through, it is still here.

Still hopeful.
Still standing, tall and strong.
Still just as beautiful as it was before.

So did all of the other plants and animals of the bush, big and small.

So can you. (4/5)

But it survived.

It did not give up.
It did not bow down to the flames.
It did not let the devastation destroy its hope and will to carry on and regrow.

Slowly, it began to grow again.(3/5)

Be like the waratah.

After the devastation of the fires, the only world it ever knew was gone forever.

Everything around it was consumed by flames and destroyed.

Everything above ground was burned down to nothing. All that remained after were a few bare branches, charred and blackened. (2/5)

He looks so full and so happy! Look at the little bugger's smile! 😆

No, I do mean noisy miner. Although Indian mynas are an introduced and invasive species, noisy miners are much more aggressive and competitive, despite being a local native species.

The overabundance of noisy miners have been listed as a key threatening process for Australian ecosystems.

Yes, they can be quite aggressive to other birds, even those multiple times bigger than them!

In my experience though, they don't go out of their way to bully other birds to the extent noisy miners do. They're just VERY defensive of their food and have a lot of personal beef with cockatoos.

I can hear the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA from this picture 🤣

I'm not a fan of the rain, but I do quite enjoy the cold, and I've always had an affinity towards northern landscapes, especially ones with fog and snow.
