Bullying, harrassment, no community consultation, police and armed guards at so-called meetings - does this sound familiar?

The march towards "net-zero" has morphed into an obscene debacle that doesnt care about communities, the environment, wildlife or the true meaning of net zero.

The stink of corruption, vile intimidation tactics and threats, is getting stronger stronger.

Peta Credlin exposes the reality of how farmers are being treated.

This is the same treatment that not just farmers, but absolutely anyone in a renewable energy zone is getting.

The only winners are the money hungry grubs who cut deals and have investments.
Its obvious that the Government hasnt got a clue about true net zero, and couldnt care less about people, the environment or wildlife. Anthony Albanese Chris Bowen MP Tanya Plibersek

An economic investigation is also urgently needed on all involved in this race to extinction

Our friends at Save the Moat - Save the Sperrins in Ireland, reporting on wind turbines collapsing on pristine lands.
As the weather continues getting wilder we'll be seeing alot more of these monstrosities going down.
The precious peat moss forests being destroyed over in Ireland for this, is disgusting.
Peat moss forests store a huge amount of carbon, at times more than any other terristrial forest.
When the peat is destroyed, the carbon enters the atmosphere.
It makes zero sense...

Fact check - 12 Gwh Pumped Hydro Eungella Dam ๐Ÿค”

We've been contacted a few times regarding media article's indicating a 12 Gwh Pumped Hydro is approved for Eungella Dam

There is no 12 Gwh pumped hydro project

In Capricornia Energy Hub initial project description, 2 sites of 750 Mwh smaller pumped hydro's were listed, from an engineering point of view.

The 1st one - near Lake Eungella, west of Crediton State forrest reserve, in Broken River catchment

2nd one located on/in or on a tributary Broken River catchment south of Urranah.

For the 2nd site, Gamuda-Ferrovial Joint Venture (GFJV), have been contracted by Capricornia Energy Hub (CEH) for early involvement to develop this pumped hydroelectric storage system.

Our opinion, both need to be shut down.
You dont go around destroying earths natural cooling systems and ancient areas that have acted as a climate change refugia for 20-40 million years, and say its for climate change..... We werent born yesterday Tanya Plibersek Chris Bowen MP
We also add that this entire area is known as core critical habitat for the endangered Koala's and Greater Glider, and the critically endangered Red Goshawk, along with a myriad of other protected species.
This is an area of highest biodiversity.

For those interested, the below link is to the Co-ordinator General projects, Capricornia Energy Hub, where you'll find the facts.

Its always best to double check when something outrageous is published.
Maybe the journo's were a bit lazy in their writing?

Anyway, we hope that eases any worry and upset

We'll release our submission report on Capricornia Energy Project tomorrow.

Its not over Eungella๐Ÿ™

Beautiful Red Goshawk ๐Ÿฆ…โค๏ธ spotted in Central Queensland.
We spotted a pair of them in Eungella area in Dalrymple Heights ๐Ÿฆ…โค๏ธ

"My jaw dropped when I realised what it was."

Australian Wildlife Conservancy ecologist Tim Henderson was thrilled when he captured photographs of a red goshawk in Central Australia โ€“ the first confirmation of the species in the region for three decades.

More to come on this story next week. Stay tuned!

"Green" Infrastructure for Wildlife - ๐Ÿจ๐ŸŒฟ

Meaning - projects that improve access for wildlife and reduce the risk of collisions with vehicles.

Around Australia, you may randomly see the odd "Green Infrastructure for Wildlife".

Green Infrastructure includes:
* Fauna movement infrastructure - wildlife bridges and underpasses
* Roadside fencing - fencing to prevent wildlife colliding with traffic
* Wildlife roadside stencils - signage
* Fauna escape poles - poles placed to help wildlife escape traffic
* Land bridges - bridges connecting forests separated by roads
* Rope ladders - rope bridge across roads for possums, gliders
* Glider poles - poles placed to help gliders through forests
* Fauna friendly culverts - culverts beneath the road

These sound fantastic, and they are, however there are simply not enough of them.

We took these photos in quite a long core critical koala habitat corrider in Queensland. There was ample signage painted on roads, solar signage that flashes for you to slow down, roadside signage, plus the rope bridge that you see in the photographs.

While this is great for possums, gliders and other climbing and some flying wildlife, it isnt great for koalas.

Koalas dont particularly take to unstable surfaces and would prefer to use a solid structure, like a tree, to get across the roads.

When you consider the enormous amounts of infrastructure for humans, (which impacts wildlife when built), there is nowhere near enough wildlife "green" infrastructure to protect wildlife from human impact.

There is also nowhere near enough funding spent on protecting Australia's wildlife, and in many cases, when a conservation group or concerned wildlife loving citizens attempt to get any of the above listed wildlife protection implemented, 9 out of 10 times you'll get nowhere.

A good example is our pursuit for simple signage in the Eungella and surrounding area's, which brims with protected wildlife, has a renowned National Park and surrounded by ancient rainforest, has so far been a futile effort - Mackay Regional Council Transport and Main Roads Queensland ???

In addition, its like pulling teeth with no anesthetic, to ask for funding to protect wildlife, all over Australia (and very much a worldwide problem).

Why is this? - lack of funding allocated to wildlife, and a devastatingly low care factor.

No environmental minister should whinge or feel they are being picked on when critised of not doing their job, ie: to protect nature and the environment. They simply are not doing their job Tanya Plibersek

Why arent they doing their job? - because their party has an agenda to make billions of dollars on coal, oil, infrastructure developments etc, deliberately poor environmental laws, and they have lost their connection (if they ever had one) with nature.

This must change.

Our biodiversity is vitally important for our own human survival. Many have forgotten this, or have never known or understood this.

How do we make it change? - through wider education, through tougher wildlife and environmental laws, and for the allocation of funding for more wildlife "green" infrastructure.

The word "green" has become a joke, but thats a story for another day.

In conclusion, when erecting green infrastructure for wildlife, particularly the endangered koalas or other species spiralling to extinction, include solid treelike climbing structures, or maybe plan to avoid core critical koala habitat altogether.

Maybe, just maybe, humans can get by with less wants, and limit themselves to needs-only.

Two Question's

Theres alot of confusion and misinformation, beliefs/disbeliefs etc on climate change.
We would like to start a educational conversation on climate change, to converse in an intelligent way, and so we can provide the best information and facts for the public.
We would appreciate if you could have a go at answering the following 2 questions please.

1. Do you know what climate change of earth is?, and

2. Do you believe human activities have contributed to our current climate change conditions on earth?

Who really cares about Koalas anymore ๐Ÿ˜ช๐Ÿจ

MacIntyre Wind Project - Biggest in Australia, and one of the biggest in the world, located Cement Hills, Queensland.
Zoom in on the pictures to see

We went for a drive out west to see where some of the hundreds, if not thousands of wind turbines, and their additional infrastructure went to, which we photographed and posted not long ago.

This is the MacIntyre Wind Project its massive, covering approx 36000 hectares.

We couldnt get right up close as the in roads are blocked or on private property.

Driving into the area, Google Maps decided to take us on the scenic route, but that turned out to be a positive.

For every road, remote, bitumen or dirt, leading towards the wind project, there was signage warning to be careful of wildlife, in particular Koalas crossing for at least 50kms leading into this wind project.

As you can see, the area is eucalypt forest, or in other words, Koala habitat.

We understand that alot of these wind turbines are on private farm properties, 10 properties confirmed last year, who's owners have cut a 25 year deal with the massive Spanish renewable energy company, Acciona. The Farmers for Climate Action said an annual average payment of $40000 goes to the private farm/land owners per turbine, as reported in The Guardian in 2024 (https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/article/2024/may/29/macintyre-turbines-queensland-southern-downs-windfarm-largest-southern-hemisphere)

Its stated the turbines are on "rocky grazing country".

In October 2024 - 27 turbines have been connected to the grid.

Our opinion - from all the area we drove, all the wildlife and Koala warning signage, all the environment we saw, didnt the planning "professionals" (we say that loosely) see the forest? Or the Environmental Minister?

You see, this area will have approx 162 turbines, and an additional nearby turbine site will bring the count to 360 turbines in this area.

Those turbines need transmission lines, hundreds of kms of them, plus any additional infrastructure.

Where do you think they'll be going? - through the eucalypt forest thats where.

Does this project have wildlife spotters? Wildlife rescuers? How many species have been safely removed and rehomed?
Any?

We cant estimate the environmental impact at this point, but we can tell you, in person, the skyline looks like an ugly turbine city.

Soon there will be far fewer birds, absolutely a mass decline in insects and pollinators, the soil moisture will significantly decrease, wind turbines are known to worsen drought conditions due to the soil moisture reduction, and this area has suffered terrible droughts already....
We wonder if the private owners who cut the 25 year deals get told this?

The macropods will leave, as will most other species due to grasslands and plants impacted by moisture loss, causing food source loss, and much much more.

Three separate scientific studies have found wind turbines elevate the surrounding temperature at night, and pull the moisture out of the soil which causes plant decline or death.

Theres alot more that can be said about this turbine topic eg: noise, toxicity etc.

But what about the endangered Koalas?, was there an ounce of care involved ? Tanya Plibersek Australian Labor Party Chris Bowen MP ?

We highly doubt it. So far we havent found one wildlife spotter or rescuer that was employed to protect and save the known wildlife in the 36000 hectare area or in the additional 100kms of transmission lines and infrastructure..

Who cares enough about the Koalas to actually save them? Only the wildlife loving people of this world.

Chris Bowen MP - news filtering out that Bowen has either been kicked off X (Twitter) or "rage deleted" his account after a whopping amount of non stop public objections, questions, accusations of "misinformation" on his renewable energy and energy in general narratives.

On top of that he was being fact checked by X resulting in numerous "Community Notes" being levelled at him

"Community Notes" on X are statements, photos, ads, etc that have been fact checked because of suspected misinformation/lies, kind of like a truth serum. An example of a Community Note is attached.
Community Note is at the bottom of picture.

Yes, one of the worst of Australia's environmental destroyers being brought to his knee's by X - fact checkers truthseekers.

It must be a hard pill to swallow for any politician who has, or plans to, lie/twist the truth/hide facts etc anymore, as they have for decades, to suddenly be getting fact checked.

Whats the truth Bowen? Did you get the boot, did you spit the dummy, or did you get sick of being fact checked?, or all of the above?

Its a beautiful tree fern frond within the forests of Eungella area.

Did you know that some young fronds can be eaten raw, but if you wash and cook them, they are not so bitter.

But, we shouldnt eat any of them now as they are getting fewer and fewer due to deforestation ticked off by "environmental ministers like Tanya Plibersek , and forest destroyers like Chris Bowen MP Anthony Albanese and the Australian Labor Party .

Instead, try to grow them in your yard, let them flourish, as one day they could be the last precious ones left standing.๐ŸŒฟ

What are you up to Capricornia Energy Hub ? This company has been very quiet going about their business.
We've been informed interstate company's RIX Drilling and Macquarie Geotech, both Sydney companies have been brought in, along with. employee's from Sydney and New Zealand.
Would you like to confirm that?

Gearing up to attempt to destroy Western Eungella now?

Could they have picked a higher biodiverse area to smash through with THREE projects - a "smaller" pumped hydro, a solar project and wind turbines? I dont think so.

Tanya Plibersek would you mind stepping forward and doing some investigations on why biodiversity seems to be totally ignored, rainforests dont matter, core critical habitat of critically endangered, endangered, protected and endemic species dont rate, even your precious Red Goshawk?
We know Anthony Albanese has hung you out to dry with the dismissal of your EPA, but come Tanya, stop this carnage.

The locals have taken a beating after the debacle with the Pioneer Burdekin Pumped Hydro.
It didnt break them, it made them tough, and savvy to how twisted and manipulative these renewables entities can be....

We wonder what the community thinks about their social and environmental liberties this time.

A huge thankyou to platforms like iNaturalist for having a working platform to upload species to!
Amazingly, out of the 500000 species on iNaturalist, 318000 species were uploaded this year alone!

Its fantastic, especially for Australia as some/most of our Australian Government data bases are so far behind, totally understaffed, and obviously not comprehensive.

We know many of the species of Eungella, Dalrymple Heights, Netherdale and beyond were painstakingly found and uploaded to the database, as no survey had been done in this infrastructure footprint before. Great thanks to those who worked so hard. Gratitude๐Ÿ™

It sort of feels like the infrastructure giants dont want to know what species are out there ๐Ÿค” Tanya Plibersek
Why would they want that? Anthony Albanese Australian Labor Party Chris Bowen MP

Private "environmental" or "ecology" companies hired by corporations to ID species, rarely will publicly publish species lists, for us to see.
That must change.

Our species ID list from the now ended Pioneer Burdekin Pumped Hydro proves Qld Hydros "ecologists" didnt find close to what we found.

With the numerous infrastucture and renewable energy projects, in core critical habitat, forests, precious fresh waters, our oceans, rainforests, numerous species spiral to extinction, because we simply dont know theyre there.

This has to change

The truth is - the environment gets in the way of developers, and even though theres other areas they could build, with little to no impact, they want what they want.

This current Australian Government is a destructive, embarrassing, money hungry machine, purely because of appalling economic decisions.

Toads โŒ๏ธand Native Frogs๐Ÿธ

For those of you trying to rid your property of canetoads, we've had a few questions on how to tell the difference between them when they are in tadpole/toadpole form.

We spoke with the Watergum specialists to find out the easiest way for beginners to tell them apart.
(Note: there are other ways to tell the apart, but we are presenting the easiest way on this post)

On the left is a native frog tadpole. The best way to tell the difference is the mottled tail. The tail is called a frill. See how the frog tadpole tail frill has speckles and is not clear, and has brownish tinges through it, thats a clear sign its a froggy ๐Ÿธ

On the right is a screenshot from Watergum of a toad or toadpole. See how the tail frill is clear and the body is jet black, thats a toad โŒ๏ธ

Canetoads are one of the most severe threats to wildlife. They eat anything that fits in their mouth.
The list is long but includes: lizards, eggs, ants, termites, beetles, millipedes, snails, frogs, baby birds or small birds, mammals, baby wallabies, outside dog food, human food scraps, they are also cannibals and eat their own! Nothing is off the menu.

* Our native animals need protection from them, the best way is to catch the adults at night and humanely dispose of them.

***Dont leave their carcass on the ground, dont bury them, completely remove them as they are toxic even after death.

*Remove all egg strands from waterways/ponds etc and dispose humanely.

* Remove all toadpoles and dispose of humanely.

Please visit Watergum, for more information.
Toad kits are available there too.

Sophie Kovic has a great video on removing toad egg stands at this loooong link - https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2Fapi%2Fimg%2F%3FitemId%3D7212763586849033473%26location%3D0%26aid%3D1988&tbnid=52s-UYsLguPR0M&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2F%40sophiekovic%2Fvideo%2F7212763586849033473&docid=GFPDwid9VhKr_M&w=1080&h=1920&hl=en-AU&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm1%2F4&kgs=d882f8abf053778d
