It was a privilege interviewing Dr Sophie Jensen, the head curator at the National Museum of Australia for this piece. I’m now inspired to unpack my hidden boxes of memories and treasures and display them around my home. abc.net.au/news/2024-05-21/t…

So I stumbled across a frog fight last night in our backyard between these two. Froggy territory war or foreplay? @austmus @jodirowley

If Marty McFly told me on NYE that in 2020 I’d live through bushfires, smoke pollution, flooding, a global pandemic and self-isolation I may have *just* believed him. But if he told me I’d be homeschooling my kids before the end of Term 1 I’d have sprinted for his DeLoran. – at Wollongong, New South Wales

@Coles hey guys, I’ve been struggling for the last 24 hours to use your online shopping portal. Has it crashed? – at Wollongong, New South Wales
So much evidence of bushfire has washed up on Corrimal East beach this morning. Multiple tide marks of black ash, charcoal, burnt bark and sticks. Which fire/s caused it? I’m curious to know. @doctormcdougall @jakecupitt @Rorymacabc – at Wollongong, New South Wales
So great to see Malcolm and Phil from the Austi RFS, a youth-run “beauty salon” and a full “bake bar” worth of treats at the Austinmer Kids’ Bushfire Fundraiser Disco this afternoon at the scout hall. @NSWRFS #AustraliaFires – at Wollongong, New South Wales
Hold onto your hats Wollongong. We’re about to get some serious rain - at last! 🙏🏼 @BOM_au – at Wollongong, New South Wales

How to keep your home free of toxic bushfire smoke (as much as possible) amid the #AustralianBushfire crisis. Courtesy of @ABCscience #NSWfires abc.net.au/news/science/2020…
Our 1960s cottage is housing our family of four, my displaced SIL, nephew, niece and their two dogs. If there’s a silver lining out of this nightmare it’s being reminded of the strength of family - and that our Jack Russell has two new mates 🐶#NSWbushfires #AustralianBushfire – at Wollongong, New South Wales
I’m getting more reassurance about this crisis from @RFSCommissioner than our Prime Minister. – at Wollongong, New South Wales
Commissioner Fitzsimmons just on TV saying he wasn’t told about the PM’s plan yesterday. Found out through the media. Was disappointed to say the least on one of their busiest and most awful days. #ScottyfromMarketing #AustraliaOnFire

Woke feeling completely hopeless & scared to check the headlines, FiresNearMe app & updates from family and friends for fear of dismal, terrifying news. Seeing support from overseas is heartening. Right now it’s their humanity that’s keeping me buoyed and giving any sense of hope – at Wollongong, New South Wales

While we are safe from immediate fire threat, my in-laws have evacuated and are staying with us with my young niece & nephew. They are separated from their dad who chose to stay to defend their home. The sense of hopelessness right night is overwhelming #NSWfires #AustraliaBurns – at Wollongong, New South Wales

Driving home from Merimbula to Wollongong via Cooma, deciding to leave while we have a safe window. The smoke’s awful & we’ve crawled in a convey with other evacuees for over 100km. Not a single cranky driver though - just patience & friendliness 🇦🇺 #NSWfires #AustraliaBurns – at Cooma, New South Wales
This is the view today compared to the same time last year where we’re staying in Merimbula with our in-laws for our summer holiday. We can hear firefighting helicopters landing at the airport below but cannot see a thing #NSWfires
My brother-in-law has been stranded in Bermagui while competing in the annual George Bass surfboat marathon. This photo was taken at 9.15am #NSWfires
Same view, different days.
I just hope we get to see the pretty one again one day and we all can breathe a (healthy) sigh of relief. #NSWfires #Wollongong #Bulli #Smoke #AirPollution @NSWRFS
A bit of an oops moment down at Bellambi Point? Word is this boat lost power and washed ashore this afternoon. No details on those aboard @nickpmclaren @jhuntsdale #wollongong #bellambi
