Professor & Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous Engagement), The University of Queensland (UQ). Views are mine & don’t represent UQ. Reposts don’t mean I agree.
I attended the Sustainable Minerals Institute (SMI) 25 Yr Celebration at Customs House. SMI works to highlight ways mining can reduce harm & address Australia’s record of Indigenous heritage destruction. We heard from people in the field, researchers, fmr SMI directors, & the Hon Peter Beattie AC.
This yellow is almost like gold and gives vibes of hope, happiness & warmth like the sunshine. I had lots of good vibes & happiness today. Hope you did too! 🌼👋🏽😀
It’s always a pleasure to visit the UQ Gatton campus with its working farm, veterinary hospitals & specialised agricultural research facilities. I met with students & staff & also had a visit into the Gatton township to say hello to a few orgs. #UQGatton #Gatton #Rural #Regional #RuralLife
When you notice a brush #turkey casually walking through a car park…. I had to laugh when one of the teenagers collecting trolleys said to me it’s probably got my road sense than some of the humans walking & driving in the car park. 😂 #brushturkey #bushturkey
Look what I found on the path outside my house. The green is a beautiful iridescent green! Gorgeous! I think it’s from a Mallard Duck or a Pacific Black #Duck. There’s quite a few of both in the neighbourhood park, along with some #Australian Wood #Ducks. 🦆🦆 🦆🦆🦆
Delighted to attend the #Kambu Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Corporation for #Health 50 Year Anniversary Gala Ball last night. Thank you for all you do. Happy Birthday Kambu!!! 🎂💫👏🏽 #Ipswich #Qld #IpswichQld #Queensland #ACCHO #ACCHOs

I got my body moving in Brisbane this morning after my long haul flight from Vancouver & some sleep. Canadian singer & songwriter Michael Bublé’s song ‘Feeling Good’ came my mind as I walked - share.google/UHjPHrza6ZKI.... Not sure how I’ll feel by this afternoon or tomorrow though… 🎶👣 🌿👋🏽😀
A good couple of days at the University of Victoria, Canada.
Students & staff visiting the Victoria, Canada region from other regions of Canada & Australia participated in being welcomed onto the lands of the Lekwungen speaking pp, the Songhees Nation & the Esquimalt (Xʷsepsəm) Nation, and Dr. Angela Jaime, VP Indigenous at University of Victoria on Day 1.
A full day Sunday with UQ colleagues & students travelling from Vancouver to Victoria via road & ferry & doing the prep we needed to do ahead of our uni business Monday, plus with the Butchart Gardens open until 10pm we were able to do an evening visit. 🌸🌼🌺🌿👋🏽😀 #bloomscrolling #bloom #blooms #flowers
Ventured out in the rain last night to see the Toni Childs concert at The Vancouver Playhouse & met women from the HKL Org. Childs partners with HKL, a movement that encourages pp to reconnect with the virtues of humility, kindness & love. Flowers were given out at the concert. 🌺🌸🌼👋🏽😀
Some added brightness via potted plants adds some extra sparkle to a cityscape & my day. May you have some extra sparkles in your day! 🌺🌸💫👋🏽😀 #bloom #bloombloom #bloomscrolling #blooms #flowers #Flowerpower #bloompower

I spotted these in a local op-shop on the weekend, along with numerous others of similar height & size - 44 / 10-11. One of the volunteer / staff members said one person donated them all, but they weren’t sure if they’re ever going to be able to sell the ‘killer heels’. 👠😮
They look sweet & by the behaviour of the little birds, I’d say the nectar tastes sweet too. May you find some sweetness in your day today! 🌺🐦👋🏽😀 #bloom #bloombloom #Bloomscrollong #Blooms #Flowers #FlowersOz #NativeFlowers #Qld
Happy 45th birthday to Soft Cell's version of Tainted Love, released on this day in 1981

Public health advocates have posed more questions for the Queensland Government on #foodsecurity in remote communities - lnkd.in/g5wX3h43 following a response to questions raised in an article last week - lnkd.in/gTBDYWaC. It’s about time food security was addressed!! #PublicHealth #Qld #AusPol
Good to see some of UQ’s student leaders this afternoon, inc a few of UQ Union’s leadership team. UQU represents students at UQ & runs services to enhance the student experience eg great cheap eats, activities, events, and clubs & societies. Good stuff! ✅ #StudentLife #Students #UniLife #HigherEd

I spotted these galahs & cockatoos on a block of land where an old carport stood until December. They’re picking at the roots of the new grass & clover that has covered the dirt. It’s normal behaviour & they find the new roots juicy. 🌿🐦👋🏽😀
Funding cuts have decimated their academic teams at Museums Victoria and Monash University. Pat, now an unpaid emerita professor, finds it nigh impossible to win new grants, notwithstanding her continuing publications. mnth.ly/pNrEHn9
Lovely bones
Who will succeed the ‘godparents of Australia’s dinosaur-era mammals’, whose discoveries on the Victorian coast mean the spread of prehistoric life across the globe may need to be reconsidered?

One of the wattles in my neighbourhood is in full bloom at the moment & looks stunning! Tomorrow I’ll pick some from an overhanging branch for a vase in my house. 🌼👋🏽😀
