I can’t go past a grevillea, especially one as gorgeous as this in the morning sunshine. I’ve got heaps of chores, errands & moving about to do today & have a playlist of 80s music to keep me going! Have an enjoyable day everyone. 🎶🎵👣 #bloomscrolling #flowersonline #bloomsonline #blooms #Bloombloom

This week the UQ ATSIS Unit & Indigenous Engagement Division hosted inspiring young Indigenous secondary students for an InspireU Camp. The future is bright! 🌟 Thank you to team members who spent hours over the last few weeks coordinating the InspireU Camp. #Loveyourwork 💜

Today is International Day of Education (24 Jan). This year’s theme celebrates the power of youth in co-creating education. Empowering young people means building inclusive, innovative & future ready opportunities & learning systems. #EducationDay #InternationalDayOfEducation #Education #Learning

I’ve had a big few days of up skilling in corporate finance, and legals this week. I have one more day of it today & while it’s a cloudy start, this pandanus reminds me it’s Friday, and almost the weekend. Bring it on! ☁️🌿👋🏽😀

Do you get bombarded with emails & texts from retailers about their sales & ‘deals’? Let’s hope the probe into retail practices asks the tough questions about loyal schemes & discounts. See www.themandarin.com.au/305864-what-..., The Mandarin, 21 January 2026.

That moment when the sun comes up & over the buildings in the city, & turns the sky gold illuminating everything below. Even the river had a golden shimmer early this morning & maybe my cheeks from smiling with delight did too. ☀️👋🏽😃

Worked alongside Maiwar - the Brisbane River today.

I particularly enjoyed the specialness of walking with & by myself this morning. Some days it’s harder to get going & other days I simply relish it. I’ve learned it’s more important for me to work with my own rhythm, & do the best I can. I encourage you to do this too! 👣🌿👋🏽😀

OPEN: Neville Bonner Memorial Scholarship, a national award for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander students to complete an Honours year in political science at any recognised Australian university. See: nit.com.au/05-01-2026/2.... Closes 5:00pm AEST, 10 February 2026. Be quick!

Allies before allies were a thing. Will never forget this moment. RIP Rob.

Sometimes patches of what looks from a distance like long grass, contains pleasant surprises… I spotted these this morning along Maiwar - Brisbane River in the city.

Today we honor Dr. King by remembering that his legacy wasn’t comfort or quiet it was courage, sacrifice, and resistance in the face of injustice. He knew progress is never handed down; it’s pushed forward by ordinary people who refuse to accept inequality as normal.

Saw old mate today who was after some love & some food. I’m so glad I have animals in my life. They don’t ask questions & don’t judge & if you watch them closely, they communicate too. 🐎
