It's not a fee for the beaches per se but the fee for entering the national park which covers the territory (though it is in effect paying to see beaches as that's the main reason to visit).
There’s also basically no reason to ever go there unless you’re in or supporting the military bases located there.
It does have some rather pretty beaches, best to plan on checking out all that's there to make it feel worthwhile though as they sting you $20 to see them.
When they tried Roombas for the yearly vacuuming of these rocks they all fell off the edge and caused a lot of hard work retrieving them, after that they changed the name of the place and went back to vacuuming it with teams of people.
Yep, and you can see a bit of Civic to the right of it behind Mt Taylor.
Canberra can be seen in the distance, you might be able to spot Black Mountain Tower just below the horizon on the left hand side.
For an idea of scale look for the guy sitting on the top of the rocks on the right hand side...
On the horizon you can see some snow remaining on Mt Bimberi (left) and Mt Gingera (right), respectively the highest and second highest mountains in the ACT.
Good to see some progress there, it's not going to make a huge difference at this stage but if it helps progress a more ethical meat option it will be useful in the long run.

big chill

I kid, you can claim single digits are cold as long as you keep that humidity up north...
Although I can’t imagine an Internal Combusion Engine sub being at all stealthy
Diesel electrics can be very stealthy, with the potential to be even more so than nuclear subs when trying to hide (given equivalent level of technology elsewhere in the design). What they can't do is continue being stealthy for anywhere near the time a nuclear sub can as eventually you need to come near the surface and run the diesel to recharge the batteries. Diesel electrics are also comparatively range limited - while they can travel a considerable distance nuclear subs are effectively only limited by their ability to supply the crew.
I'm going to say somewhere near this location looking towards the Gold Coast. Haven't spent time in that region so can't confirm but I'm liking my odds based on the skyline, terrain and view angle.
Can't say I've ever really thought about it, though looking at pictures it does look familiar. Not sure how one differentiates it from native tussock grasses though.
I have stronger feelings about things like blackberries, fireweed, lantana, and crofton weed as these are ones I've had to put work into removing before (and blackberry is a pain for encroaching on single track networks or blocking off path walking). Running bamboo too to an extent, but while painful to get rid of that's one that I think can be a nice sort of plant when in an appropriate location.
If you start believing that racism is the cause of all your woes you'll see it everywhere, particularly if - for example - you're still salty about losing a vote to be deputy leader.
It is amusingly ironic though because the Greens both appear the least likely party to actually be racist and the most likely party to have enabled such a mindset during her time with them.
No. That is one question they ask. It is not how they define intimate partner violence.
It's not how they define it in the report but it sure sounds like if you answered yes to that one question they went ahead and classed you as using/experiencing intimate partner violence anyway. It's right there in the report:
To understand the use of intimate partner violence, respondents were presented with a series of questions following the prompt, ‘As an adult, how have you behaved towards a past or present partner?’, and asked to respond either ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Respondents were also able to skip answering these questions. The questions included:
- Have you ever behaved in a manner that has made a partner feel frightened or anxious? (emotional- type abuse)
Similarly, men were coded as ever having used or experienced forms of intimate partner violence by 2022 if they had responded ‘yes’ to any of the types of violence at either the 2013–14 survey or the 2022 survey.
Still a pretty chilly day today with snow flurries visible around Tidbinbilla/Johns peaks

Mt Coree trig point looking good today - luckily the wowsers hadn't shut the gate yet. Looking good around Bulls Head too and Mt Franklin road was open until the Snow Gum gate.
Mt Ginini trig point looking good today - luckily the wowsers hadn't shut the gate yet. Looking good around Bulls Head too and Mt Franklin road was open until the Snow Gum gate.
I like the callout to On the Beach, fits well with a post apocalyptic Australian game (it's a good book, albeit not one you want to read if you're already feeling down).
