here's some cool videos & pics of the Uluru Xmas rain! – at Alice Springs, Northern Territory

You’d be lucky to get a kindy kid logged on in 15 minutes. Bring on the papyrus.

Another epic excursion day, teaching year 2 all about different coastal environments, and of course, the obligatory trip to the rock platform. I’m pretty lucky to have such a rad gig. #enviroEd #outdoorEd

Changing landscapes with year 4 today. One group saw a pod of whales, but not mine today, sadly. #enviroEd #outdooreEd

Another day in the office with year 10 geo today. #enviroEd #outdoorEd

Also, never take your wife fishing. Unless you want to hook something like this for them, whilst giving them a live tutorial on how to bring the dog in, the whole time, lamenting the fact that you handed the rod over. #fishing #catchAndRelease

We couldn’t take them into the rock platform today as planned. The swell was too hectic, even at low tide. We managed to escape the rain for most of the day, though. #enviroEd #outdoorEd

Eco art with year 2 as part of today’s activities. #enviroEd #outdoorEd

Doggin’ out and doggin’ down and doggin’ around downtown with year 7 liveability at Manly Cove again today. It was pretty diggity doggity imho. #outdoorEd #enviroEd

Down at Manly Cove today with year 7, assessing water quality and microplastics pollution. A bit wet and windy, but what an office. Great day as always. Loved it. #outdoorEd #enviroEd

Goodoo country yesterday.

Well, Glen Innes was nice. The people were lovely. It was, however, cold enough to freeze the hind legs off of a donkey. Heading back to the coast now in Gareth Brown, via trout and bass territory, and back down to Syderz.

Up in New England delivering some PL with @BiancaH80 for a couple of days. We stopped close by here for some lunch and bubbles.

Another fun day at the CEC. Running transects and stratified random sampling to assess species richness and abundance on the intertidal rock platform. #enviroEd #outdoorEd

In the US, the UK, Spain, Japan, for example, you can take your dogs on public transport, and into pubs, etc. You can't in Aus ... why? It kinda sucks that if I were incapacitated, socially isolated, elderly, for example, I couldn't take my dog everywhere.

I dunno, but … When making a career choice, one important question you might ask yourself could be: If I met my eight year old self one day and told them this is how I spend my days, would they shit their pants and want my autograph, or would they shy away?

Squid dissection at the Coastal Environment Centre today. Yummo! #enviroEd

Another awesome day outside, this time with an awesome group of year 8 students, considering geomorphology and the biophysical processes that shape our coastal environments. #enviroEd #outdoorEd

Down in Manly today for electric vehicle and energy event. Come on down and get a smoothie from the ‘smoothie bike’! #enviroEd #outdoorEd

The outdoor classroom finds me in Manly this morning. #enviroEd #outdoorEd

Beautiful morning, just not the right conditions for fishing alone. I miss not having my nephew Jayke living locally.
