i thought ya meant gun shots ,silly me..... nice shots though | |
I love Broken Hill. It has one of the most beautiful landscapes in Australia, possibly the world | |
Are you a local or just passing through? | |
As a local there is some really good photo spots for future reference if your not local. | |
Not as bad as I thought. I used to think of it as full on res dirt like WA | |
Haha fair - thanks! | |
Just passing through but I am meant to return in July… | |
thanks walked around etc broken hill couple times,was back a few years .. | |
Ulmarra is a beautiful place but I have been cursed with the knowledge that there was a lane named after my family there | |
nice pics | |
These are stunning, thanks so much for sharing! | |
Cheers. I’m not much of a photographer, but the area’s natural beauty did most of the work for me | |
me neither but Australia's beauty does help | |

Unlike most spiders, the huntsman does not use venom to immobilize Its prey. It jumps out and surprises its victim when driving and then lets physics take care of the rest. | |
Huntsman | |
Huntsman. Not dangerous, just on the bigger side of the spiders we get | |
A scary one | |
That’s Trevor, he’s chill | |
Male huntsman | |
We had a huntsman and I was keeping it around to kill other pests. I told my housemate to leave it for this reason. Next morning I found out she got rid of it, I was so mad. A couple days later the house was full of smaller spiders again | |
Huntsman | |
A baby spider | |
Huntsman do bite and can sting. | |
I’d be suprised as well to see a huntsman driving lol! | |
Speaking from experience here. A HUGE one (much bigger than this tiny toddler) hanging out under the sun visor of my mate's car nearly caused a wreck when i was getting a ride home from work years ago. Not fun. | |
They can deliver a nasty bite too, dont let these 'spiderbro' types tell you any different. If you have little kids in the house i reckon it's irresponsible to leave these things running around in there as well. | |
Friendly, harmless, tells good jokes. | |
Looks like a wolf spider to me, not a huntsman. | |
Huntsman can get bloody huge but wolf spiders are relatively modestly sized, their bodies are rarely larger than a peanut in my experience. | |
oh no.... we killed it, we thought it was a venomous spider :( | |
We have the same humour this was hilarious | |
"Spiderbro" lolol | |
The way to tell between a young huntsman and an old wolf is the pattern on their back. Wolves have stripes or a union jack type marking on their back | |
Also, wolfs front legs will naturally sit forward, while huntsmen hold them out. A young huntsman will also be more skittish than a wolf is, generally. | |
From the legs, this one is a huntsman. | |
Wolf spider are a bit different, they have longer front legs than the other legs, have larger bodies, spin webs and hunt on the moors in packs. | |
If you ever get another one try feeding it any bugs or roaches you catch. (Catch the live bug and let it go after the huntsman sees it) they will live in that room from then on, and eat any other bugs you take issue with. | |
they're actually nice to have around as they hunt and eat actual pests like flies and cockroaches. When I find them, I usually put them in a container and leave them outside. | |
They love to chill in places like laundry hampers and drying towels and jump out at/on you when you least expect it. | |
Definitely don't kill them, but I generally move them on when they are inside the house. | |
Hey everyone! Looking to go out with some friends this week on the paddleboards. Preferably no more than a 2 hour drive from Sydney and somewhere calm as we are newbies. Where are your favourite places? TIA | |
Balmoral Beach is a harbour beach, and very calm. | |
Manly cove | |
Lane cove national park, the water is calm | |
Narrabeen Lagoon and The Basin are pretty good spots, you can get a ferry to The Basin from Palm Beach IIRC. | |
Fisherman’s Beach | |
Cottage point is a great place for a dip. | |
Malabar Beach is fairly flat and a good option. | |
I love to SUP in Swallow Rock, Greys Point in the Sutherland Shire :) Get there early for a peaceful paddle! | |
As a newbie paddler I second The Basin, the lagoon like side of it once you get off the boat and walk to the left past the trees (incase you're worrying while on the boat to The Basin) | |
You know Alex is an independent, don't you? And he has been working on this project for two years with the government? You know both of those things, right? | |
I'm so glad he achieved a beach. Not to be overly cynical, but with the limited budget and ongoing crises we have I'm so disappointed it was spent on a beach. | |
At least take your shirt off mate, Tones would have been in nothing but budgies 2 sizes small simply strolling the foreshore, amateur hour up in here. | |
Yes I do… and that Stokes is a Lib. What’s your point? | |
I also know when politicians of any stripe are willing to jump in the harbour fully clothed in front of a huddle of cameras, it’s not just any normal presser. | |
That's a very European looking beach | |
Public amenities are important too. Health and recreation helps the budgets in other areas. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t also spend on hospitals and education. | |
Sydney Water had just finished its long term monitoring. Sorry you're so cynical. | |
How many other politicians have launched a harbour swimming pool. Weird agenda, dude. | |
It's shit and small at Barangaroo. Completely man made. | |
Building a beach at Barangaroo is pointless. It's probably not going to be used much and it isn't like beaches accessible to the area are in short supply. | |
It was just someone who can't actually effect any meaningful policy change's pet project. I'm glad he achieved his goal of a shit beach in one of the wealthiest areas of Sydney. | |
>Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t also spend on hospitals and education. | |
And in reality it does. There is a finite amount of money and in budgets it really is a zero sum game. Any dollar spent is a dollar not spent somewhere else. This was all done while the health systems, infrastructure, education resources, etc. are all crumbling around us. | |
Yeah, I meant the about the *being covered in rocks* part of it. | |
> the health systems, infrastructure, education resources, etc. are all crumbling around us. | |
* all receiving more government funding than ever before. | |
There are city residents, plus office workers can use this in their lunch break. Not to mention tourists. I can’t see this costing that much, especially not compared to projects like sports stadiums. | |
And yet still not being enough. Nurses, doctors, teachers, among other public servants have been calling out for years for the need for increased resourcing. The smattering of extra funding too little too late is a political stunt at best. | |
Of course. Everything, everywhere - always needs more funding. | |
Just pointing out the NSW government has spent record amounts of money on each of those areas you listed. For more than 10 years. | |
Is there need for more? Always. But you can’t completely disregard local community amenity projects like this (which was primarily campaigned for by a local community group, not by Alex). | |
Campaigned for by a local community group that Alex is the local member for. They lobbied for it to Alex. Let's not understate this. | |
And you're implying investing in health and education infrastructure is somehow different to community amenity projects, which is simply not the case. | |
Also you're completely misrepresenting the gravity of the health crisis we are in right now in NSW. Rural Australians, who are as much citizens of NSW entitled to a level of quality living as inner city populations, don't even have access to basic healthcare. This is while one of the wealthiest areas of the nations that had just had one of the most wealth oriented redevelopments in this nations history gets an unnecessary beach. Nurses are killing themselves in metropolitan hospitals, in part, because of how bad it's getting having serious implications for their mental health. | |
But I guess it's worth fighting for a beach in Barangaroo, which has greater than three times the national median household income. Those very needy buggers. | |

This is how a representative democracy works? | |
> investing in health and education infrastructure is somehow different to community amenity projects | |
The billions of dollars for health and education in the budget is different to the (comparatively) tiny amount of funding this project would’ve cost to scrape the oysters and install a shark net, yes. | |
> Rural Australians, who are as much citizens of NSW entitled to a level of quality living as inner city populations, don’t even have access to basic healthcare. | |
No, I’m sorry. There is absolutely a level of public service the Government should provide. There is absolutely no right for people living in remote towns to have the same quality of life or access to the range of all the services in a larger town or the Capital City. That’s why people live in cities. Where the government is failing in providing basic services, absolutely on board for criticising them. But they don’t owe metro service accessibility to every citizen. | |

Tell that to the patients that are having to have surgeries done where surgeons are having to improvise because there isn't any stock of basic surgical equipment. | |
>This is how a representative democracy works? | |
Yeah. Sadly money speaks more than need. The wealthy in Barangaroo will surely appreciate the tiny "beach" more than people who actually need help. | |
>There is absolutely no right for people living in remote towns to have the same quality of life or access to the range of all the services in a larger town or the Capital City. | |
Which nobody under the sun is advocating for. But ALL Australians are entitled to a basic level of healthcare. | |
>Source? | |
Working in a major metropolitan hospital where this has happened. | |
