Former leader Ardern has left New Zealand. She’s not the only one | CNN Twenty years of memories spilled across Jacinda Thorn’s yard. Teddy bears and textbooks, a jumble of whisks and frying pans catching the morning sun.

Catching up later today with my 23-year-old daughter who is leaving for Sydney “for good” and why not! #LuckyCountry www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/w...

Homes lost and towns on edge as major fires burn across Victoria Authorities say the Longwood fire in central Victoria and fires in the Otways in the state's south-west are of greatest concern to firefighters as blazes continue to burn across the state.

Devastation across VIC is ongoing. The scale of property, wildlife, & habitat loss is vast. The lucky will be insured, but many of us are not lucky. Koalas & habitat are also not lucky. What will @albomp.bsky.social do about #FossilFuel driving #ClimateChange bushfires? #AusPol #LuckyCountry 🇦🇺 🐨 🔥

Rocket Park in Woomera.

Remains of the Redstone rocket that launched the WRESAT satellite.

#Woomera reminded me of the orderly layout of #Canberra ... erm, except for Rocket Park! Also that Australia was the 3rd country behind the USA and USSR to build and launch our own #WRESAT satellite ... before the #LuckyCountry focused on digging holes! 🙄 #van #vanlife #roadtrip #sa #southaustralia

Yesterday, @amyremeikis.bsky.social asked for contributions on “how do you think John Howard fundamentally changed Australia?”.
For those who might be interested, this was my all too brief tuppence worth #auspol #LuckyCountry (as per Donald Horne)

White supremacy
will soon be
yesterday’s news.

And yet, I want to remember:
my adopted country
has treated me with kindness.
I was welcomed by
the original owners of this land.

What is the point of a roundtable to find where we can be more productive when on the other hand, a Government is throwing away money for free?

It's worrying when a Government starts to look stupid.

Really appreciate our government, emergency services, bureau of meteorology, #abc and other news orgs as Australia calmly prepares for cyclone Alfred and floods. Such a contrast to the shambles in the USA #auspol #luckycountry

Looking forward to celebrating Australia Day on March 3rd. The date Australia gained its independence. I'll be having a BBQ on the roof of my apartment building. Feel free to join in from wherever you want. #Australiaday #Australiadaytoo #hot100 #luckycountry #auspol

Peter Allen sang "No matter how far or how wide I roam I still call #Australia home".
There's nowhere I'd rather be.
Some of my ancestors have been here for around 40,000 years, I'm a proud old Australian. #luckycountry
#AustraliaDay

Likely unenforceable, probably a legal quagmire, but good on ya Australia. #luckycountry

I love our little Kookaburra visitors, even when they poop on our balcony. This little one was very noisy until the camera came out. He checked me out carefully. Gorgeous 🥰 We live in the lucky country 🇦🇺

The #LuckyCountry

“If we’re lucky enough to live in this country & to have what we have, then we don’t just get to #recycle & feel better about ourselves… waiting for us to admit that we are the engine of the #harm.

And so that takes #courage.”
