Cooktown in Far North Queensland has only 3 days of food left and is low on water due to flooding at their water treatment plant. The town is preparing to receive 300 evacuees from another town.
Cooktown is an isolated town in Cape York at the best of times. With the wide-spread flooding and road closures in the Far North it will not be easy to restock the town. #FNQ#flooding
My son found a bowerbird bower a few blocks from home. I think it's a Great Bowerbird (that's its name, not my opinion).
This is not a nest. It is a Tinder profile that uses Instagram filters. The male builds this tunnel, and carefully arranges pale grey bits and pieces in an exact pattern, bigger at the front, smaller near the tunnel, shiny out the back. Then he stands in it. The foreshortening makes him look huge and sexy.
