UPDATE: Logging machines have entered Orara East State Forest — under police guard.
This is the forest promised as part of the Great Koala National Park. Instead of protection, the Premier has sent in extinction machines and police to defend them.

A very nice tree (Angophora costata I think) on our walk through the Loftus creek fire trail. Perhaps there was once another tree limb or trunk here that it grew around? I love how these trees have bark that wrinkles and folds like skin.

"...If we are serious about designing forests for health and wellbeing" (Good Nature by Kathy Willis). Is this really a thing we want to do? Do we have to reduce plants and Nature down to only that which serves us? This book has been such an aggravating read.

Since the koala officially appeared on Australia’s threatened species in 2011 - a step which should offer it more protection - almost 2m hectares of its habitat has gone. Here’s the exclusive, as part of our Last Chance series.

Hailey Bailey Pinna shawl completd in Noro "silk garden sock solo" colour S4 with a size 4 crochet hook and additional chain between each pinnule (eg instead of ch10, I did ch11). Came out so well! I was worried because this yarn is slubby and uneven, but the blocking really helps.

Your forests are our forests. Your air is our air. Our world hurts, our commons is being pillaged.
Trump administration opens half of National Forests to logging. An emergency order lifts protections on over half of U.S. Forest Service lands as the Trump pushes to increase timber production.

Finished blocking my pinna shawl, finished 2 books (How to do nothing & Swept away), dyed my partner's poncho green and remodelled my polymer clay bug earrings after I burned them the first time. A productive day all around. Photos tomorrow when I am not wearing dye bath appropriate clothing :p

23/26 pinnules (not pinna) done. I didn't quite make it but I didn't want to give myself a hand cramp. I should be able to whack out the last 3 tomorrow and block. The excitement is rising.

You know you are going to have a good day when your dog barfs on your bed in the wee hours of the morning. Dog is fine, humans less so. In good news, pinna shawl is now 21/26 "pinna", 5 to go. Trying to crunch through it 2 pinna at a time.

Hailey Bailey Pinna scarf about 50ish percent of the way through. I am hoping to finish it tomorrow but I am on pinna 18 of 26 and they just keep getting longer. Might be wishful thinking. Looking forward to wearing it when it is done though :)

Bob Brown is right - saving the earth is within our reach, but only if we take action.
Previous governments have administered decades of environmental destruction - approving new coal and gas to logging precious native forests. It has to end.
