I recently visited the Denniston coal plateax for the first time since the end of the Save Happy Valley occupation.
Last time I was there, all that could be seen of the coal mining operation at the top of the Bridle Track was a pile of rusting scrap. It was great to see all the work #DOC has done to preserve the site and make it safer to explore, and to surface its history with info boards full of photos and explanations.
"But what is being lost [at DOC]... is science capacity, it's policy capacity, it's resource management space - that's losing heaps of people - and it's in line with the government's directive that we're going to prioritise short term economic goals over environment and sustainability. But in a time of biodiversity crisis I think this is seriously worrying."

Here are a few more photos from inside of Doc, at the #EAA#AirVenture, yesterday. The front and rear parts of the plane are pressurized but the bomb bays aren't. There is a tube going from the front to the back, to deal with that.
"Dozens of robed KKK gathered around a burning cross in a remote field in North Florida in 2014. After the cross lighting ceremony, three klansmen asked for a quiet aside with the group’s Grand Knighthawk, a klan hitman. The knighthawk was Joe Moore, a former Army sniper who’d joined the group and quickly risen through the ranks due to his military background. The men handed Moore a photograph of a Black man that they wanted killed." https://apnews.com/article/white-supremacist-police-hulu-abc-stephanopoulos-kkk-d17077d39b68420c3e6413e0b071a487
