Results from EPA soil testing at the garden in the garden

In March this year I took 3 samples of soil from the garden to be tested as part of the EPAs GardenSafe program. I was already doing this for my Newstead home garden, so offered to do it for NCG also. I took samples from 2 of the Diggers beds and the 3rd from under Continue reading Results from EPA soil testing at the garden

Sunday afternoon in the Muckleford bush was grey and gloomy, devoid of birds.

As I passed a lone Cherry Ballart beside the track, things changed in an instant. This marvellous species is a magnet for small birds and well worth using as a cue for searching. A mixed party of Superb Fairy-wrens, Brown Thornbills, Buff-rumped Thornbills, a pair of Scarlet Robins, a Grey Shrike-thrush and a Grey Fantail were all quietly foraging around the tree and amongst the foliage.

After some brief googling I came across a nice paper from 2009 on the relationship between bird abundance and habitat features at Clarkesdale Sanctuary (near Linton, south of Ballarat)

Generalised linear modelling showed that total bird abundance was positively related to the cover of planted native vegetation, native low shrubs and young wattles Acacia spp. and to the presence of indigenous Cherry Ballart Exocarpos cupressiformis.

I then recalled a note about Cherry Ballart that I posted in 2019, which includes a link to an article in The Conversation by Gregg Muller well worth a read.

Ill do some more research on this topic, so stay tuned.

The Voice Ben's Blog

The Voice to Parliament, its a great idea, but its around the wrong way.

The Voice is just the beginning of a momentous shift in consciousness for us recent arrivals. Before we arrived there were said to be about 1 million blackfellas. They were unanimous in there support for a zero immigration policy. A tiny number of Europeans arrived with a policy of mass immigration, among other things. The interlopers, set up a brutal military dictatorship, upon arrival. Facing ferocious opposition from the locals, the regime was reluctant to create anything resembling a democracy until the numbers were heavily in their favour. So they clinically and diligently set about changing the balance of power, using the simple and effective method of genocide. Combined with a massive project of what we now call branch stacking. Importing vast numbers of pro-immigration immigrants.
Having decimated the original inhabitants and replaced them with millions of their own supporters, the interlopers felt the time was ripe to start a democracy of sorts. But just to make sure, they prohibited the opposition from voting. So, obviously a democracy founded on genocide is not a democracy by any stretch of the imagination.

Every law passed in Federal parliament since its inception in 1901 is invalid, not worth the paper it is printed on, a load of hogwash, a sham,

an insult to the very notion of democracy!
The only way to redress this gross injustice is to allow the last remaining remnants of those nations that were decimated to look after their country they way they see fit.
So yes, lets have a voice t...
