What a sad day......

Today the world has lost a true music genius.

The Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve (SIWR) is being threatened by strip mining. Cape Alumina Pty Ltd has lodged mining lease applications which include approximately 12,300 ha of the Reserve. Cape Alumina company documents indicate an intention to mine 50 plus million tons over a 10 year period commencing 2010. The greater part of this mine is on SIWR

The proposed area for mining on the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve contains the head waters of irreplaceable waterways and unique biodiversity which will not recover after mining operations are finished.

There is a petition to stop this mining from going ahead.

Here is a link to the petition if you wish to sign...

Jack has been wanting his hair cut like this for ages so now that school photos have been and gone I let him have it done.

He looks very cool. I wasn't quite sure how it would turn out!

Proof of the excessive heat wave here in Adelaide can be seen in this picture of the Noarlunga train line yesterday.

Only got down to 36 overnight too
