There’s absolutely no doubt the Iranians with retaliate. The only question is weather it’ll be official state sanctioned response or through proxies.

My bet is that most of those mourners are paid to be there.

No way.

Yeah suppose. Iranian government would never spend money on propaganda.

Of course they would. But to suggest that all those people are being paid by the Ayatollah is pretty far fetched. They have a lot of patriotic citizens.

It's all about the "feelz"

Kooka's home has been lost.

This morning I rode with the wind underneath two Wedged Tail Eagles who then turned back into the wind to use the drafts to glide above a paddock waiting for I guess rabbits

I suppose I could have stopped and taken some pictures but I didn’t such was their awe above me.

I reckon their wing span was a metre or more

Stuff like that happens in the Bush.

Green ideas must take blame for deaths

It wasn't climate change which killed as many as 300 people in Victoria last weekend. It wasn't arsonists. It was the unstoppable intensity of a bushfire, turbo-charged by huge quantities of ground fuel, writes Miranda Devine.

Heard of the Kite?

The native Australian bird making bushfires worse by spreading flames

The Whistling Kite, the Black Kite and the Brown Falcon are all known to use fire as a way to flush out prey from savannahs in Northern Australia.

The Rain has come and with it the smell of Bushfire. I am supposing that it’s the water and ash on the ground mixing?

We had a kookaburra come and land on our pool fencing. He didn’t last too long as woofa wanted to play with him

Yep, same in my area. Also would be from the smoke in the atmosphere and the rain clearing the air.

Hey guys, a bit off topic here. I am looking at buying a 4x4 Dual cab ute. Was all set to buy a Wildtrak but after speaking to someone who knows a Ford fleet manager over the weekend, I am having second thoughts. I don't want a Hilux. I like the Amarok but doesn't have Airbags in the back and I have a small boy. Am now leaning towards a Nissan Navara.

Any suggestions or advice appreciated

Triton is probably the next best after Hilux.
