#StarlightSunday Jupiter here we come! Posted @withregram • @europeanspaceagency Our Juice spacecraft returned to Earth to complete the world’s first Lunar-Earth gravity assist. 🌍🌕 Flight controllers guided the spacecraft past the Moon and then the Earth, ‘braking’ the spacecraft. This manoeuvre may seem counterintuitive but will allow Juice to take a shortcut via Venus on its way to Jupiter. 📹@europeanspaceagency 📷ESA/Juice/JMC

#WildlifeWednesday When in Australia, learning the lingo, especially basic pronunciation, is part of the assignment. 🎶 He can't fly but I'm telling you, he can run the pants off a kangaroo...🎶 #visitbigvolcano #wildlife #australianwildlife #australianbirds #birdlife #emu #oldmanemu Posted @withregram • @usembassyaustralia how to pronounce emu

#FlyingFriday "The roaring presence of the Hawaii Martin Mars coming in low over the Saanich Peninsula for its last flight on Sunday was exactly how Dean Christie remembered the plane sounded when he watched it scoop up water in the B.C. Interior four decades ago." https://www.msn.com/en-ca/travel/news/thousands-greet-martin-mars-water-bomber-as-it-flies-over-vancouver-island-on-last-flight/ar-AA1oEK5K #waterbomber #flightlife #Canada #britishcolumbia #firefighters Posted @withregram • @colchrishadfield This huge water bomber served 50 years battling forest fires, now off to honourable retirement at the BC Aviation Museum, escorted by the @cfsnowbirds. video: Kim Kjertinge

#WildlifeWednesday “In order to see birds, it is necessary to become part of the silence.” ~ Robert Lynd #visitbigvolcano #australianbirds #blackcockatoo #australianwildlife #nativebirds #bigvolcano #farnorthcoast #northernrivers #northernnsw #rainforest #treescape #seeaustralia #newsouthwales #discoveraustralia Posted @withregram • @wireswildliferescue Peck-tacular! 🦜 The Red-tailed Black Cockatoo's powerful beak allows them to crack open the tough seeds of eucalyptus, casuarina, acacia, and banksia trees. These birds are so beautiful, with females boasting yellow spots on their wings, neck, and head, along with pale yellow tail panels. In contrast, the males are entirely black with bright red tails and dark grey beaks. Sadly, like much of Australia's wildlife, these birds face habitat loss and climate change threats. Join us and the @sydneysockproject in supporting Australian wildlife! For each purchase of socks featuring the Red-tailed Black Cockatoo, a portion of the proceeds is donated to WIRES to aid in wildlife rescue and rehabilitation efforts. Purchase at ⤵️ Link in bio

Upgrades by Tweed Shire Council to two local public parks on Tweed Heads yesterday. #visitbigvolcano #publicparks #tweedheads #childrensplaygrounds #jackevansboatharbour #free access #free attractions #familyfun #tweedcoast #newsouthwales Posted @withregram • @tweedshirecouncil 👍 Today marked the official opening of two newly upgraded community spaces at Tweed Heads: the inclusive playground at Ray Pascoe Park and Places to Swim at Jack Evans Boat Harbour! 🙏 We were honoured to have two of Ray Pascoe’s daughters and their family and friends join us, along with many local families, as we unveiled the upgraded and inclusive playground. Read more in the full media release (link in bio). 🎉 Celebrations then moved to Jack Evans Boat Harbour, where stage 3 of the Goorimahbah - Place of Stories precinct upgrade, Places to Swim, was opened by Councillors, members of our Aboriginal Advisory Committee and Equal Access Advisory Committee, as well as staff involved in the project. Find out more by reading the full media release (link in bio). 🤝💕🤸 These fantastic locations are ideal for our community to gather and enjoy outdoor activities in the stunning Tweed.

#WelfareWednesday A wonderful mentoring and collaboration programme, since 2007, bringing clean water to Kenyan communities. Posted @withregram • @tweedshirecouncil 💦 We're proud to share footage of the official opening of the SIBO Obambo Piped Water Extension Project opening ceremony held in Kenya recently. 🚰 💧The project saw the laying of a 7 km water pipeline to the remote area of Obambo in western Kenya, bringing safe, clean water to more than 18,000 people for the first time. 🙏 This pipeline was made possible by the Tweed Kenyan Mentoring Program, an initiative run voluntarily by our staff, and supported by Council. 👏🎉 The project was first launched in 2007 by Council's former General Manager Mike Rayner with the support of staff, many of whom have donated a portion of their wage over many years towards this initiative. Join us in celebrating along with excited Kenyan villagers at the official ribbon-cutting ceremony held in late June! ✂️ ℹ️ For more info about this project, follow the link in our bio.

With Northern Rivers Rail Trail – I just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉

#WaterfallWednesday When it rains in the rainforest. #visitbigvolcano #springbrook #goldcoasthinterland #waterfalls #chasingwaterfalls #amazingwaterfalls #floods #farnorthcoast Posted @withregram • @reubennutt 1st Jan 2024 - Purling Brook Falls in flood A significant weather system dropped over 500mm of rain at Upper Springbrook and higher totals on other parts of the Gold Coast/Northern NSW in 24 hours, causing flooding and damage downstream. I managed to capture some footage during the chaos, before the track was closed, with river levels still rising. This is easily the most flow I’ve seen here, and arguably the highest level you can view the falls before the track gets too dangerous as one side had already been cut off. #australia #adventure #flood #seeaustralia #waterfall #thisisqueensland #visitbrisbane #goldcoast

#TravelTuesday When it rains. Posted @withregram • @abcperth Hyden, home to popular tourist attraction Wave Rock, has recorded four times the average amount of rainfall for March, just days into the month.   The town, 330km east of Perth has an average March rainfall reading of 23 millimetres, but those figures were eclipsed after the Bureau of Meteorology recorded 94 millimetres in 48 hours.   Some farmers’ paddocks have been flooded and rainfall has bolstered the region’s water utilities, according to the Water Corporation, reaching local dams.
