  1. Hey just wondering if anyone else here loves mysterious universe.

    If yu haven't heard of it it is an podcast from some aussie dudes focussing on strange or paranormal events and information.

    Theyre not true believers or total  skeptics, they explore details of the ridiculous and the more plausible. It is often funny and sometimes very thoughtful and thought provoking.

    I have become fully hooked. They provide links to info on everything they cover from ufos bigfoot, government conspiracies, to new info on gut bacteria and how artificial fragrances can be toxic.

    So much entertainment. Get into it

  4. Hi there,

    Im not far from lismore and yeah the rain has been epic. Im ok, being up on a ridgeline certainly helps. My road has been chewed up real bad by the water and a couple of trees came down, but my garden is fine and house is fine. Looking at the road reports it looks like it will be a while before I can get to town easily, lots of landslips and roads torn away and still water everywhere, but I have plenty of food, Im all snug in bed watching the rain out the window.

    Internet is really suffering at the moment, Iguess because everyone is stuck at home, but once I get to town I will post some photos

  5. Had to drop a couple of trees after the hectic rains up here.. both appear to be the same type of acacia.. can anyone help me ID them?

    Most of the seed pods were dry and empty or too green to get a good seed, but the one I found was very flat and oval shaped like the photo below..

  7. Great post! Just what I need.

    I have a friend who is coming to her first EGA. Shes going to be in Melbourne and needs a lift up to and back from the event (shes from QLD)

    Anyone who can help please let me know.

    She is a Biochemist/scientist/fulltime uni student just bursting with information, I personally think she should be giving talks but maybe after she has attended I can push that agenda on her :) 

    But Im sure you will have an interesting time whoever ends up helping.
