#exetel sent me two false notifications that I had an outage on #NBN in #caboolture - their bot can do nothing, call centre is closed 8pm and open 8am Brisbane - Caboolture is not listed on https://www.exetel.com.au/network-outage #storms #supercell #internet #outage #brisbane #moretonbay

traffic jam from Wamuran to Caboolture and Sunshine Coast to Caboolture round 9am today was dreadful - obviously everyone is driving to Caboolture to catch train or get work or attend school or go to hospital or go shopping - jobs, services and shops need to be more in the regions to stop this traffic jam - sadly everyone commutes from their regional centres to hubs to get infrastructure and services and shops - poor urban planning leads to congestion on roads which will only get worse as population increases up to #brisbane #olympics and beyond #trafficjam #caboolture #moretonbay #sunshinecoast #somerset

Queensland council blocked from evicting homeless people sleeping in tents at city park
Supreme Court finds City of Moreton Bay’s eviction of rough sleepers placed them at ‘serious risk of harm from being exposed to the elements’
Dugong life near a big city
They "found heavy metals, pesticides, microplastics and herbicides in the tissue and circulating blood of Moreton Bay dugongs. Extreme weather can compound these urban risks.
"We know that with every flood event or cyclone there's direct damage to seagrass beds. Even if there is enough seagrass to eat, dugongs are still affected. They show increased levels of heavy metals, pathogens and microplastics after floods, and "there is a drop in body condition compared to that time in other years."
"...This population may be faring better than those further north. They're exposed to agricultural runoff, which could severely affect the dugongs".

The City of Moreton Bay claims homeless people “consented” to having their tents and belongings – including a woman’s daughter’s ashes – thrown in the bin. This is what passes for policy now?
We’re criminalising poverty, bulldozing dignity, and calling it governance. Fines over $8,000 for sleeping rough, yet zero accountability for systemic failure.
If this is the norm, we’re in deep moral decline.

I filmed a sea eagle taking a few dives into the water, trying to catch a fish for dinner. Elegant birds to watch.

Our family loves going out on the river or bay in our little 4.3m caper cat #sailing catamaran, designed and built in #Brisbane. We're thinking about upgrading to a slightly bigger, but still trailerable, keelboat of some flavour. Somewhere around 6m, like a farr 5/6000, kestrel 18, sun 2000, castle 650, etc.
Under 1.3 tonnes towed with a cabin to get out of the sun, and a sit-down cockpit. Any suggestions?
City of Moreton Bay Clears Homeless Camps, Discards Belongings.
The City of Moreton Bay Council has started removing tents and personal belongings of rough sleepers as part of a crackdown on "illegal" homeless encampments.
Early Wednesday morning, council rangers and police began dismantling campsites north of Brisbane, leaving those without shelter with even fewer options.

There are 4,521 people on the “social housing” waiting list in #MoretonBay, the longest in #Queensland.
You'd think that after all the money that developers have funnelled into #MoretonBay over the years, council might greenlight more humane—and durable—solutions to the #housing crisis.
But no. Apparently, property values in (checks notes) #DBay are more important.

found #snapsendsolve app very useful for reporting to and getting removed by local government #graffiti in #Caboolture #moretonbay - much quicker than ringing call centre and waiting weeks for a callback - also good for bent Keep Left signs on median strips, fire hydrant cap removed, potholes - some spots get graffiti back again so I report it again and get it removed again 2 or 3 times or more at same spot
Moreton Bay Council has ordered homeless people to vacate their camps, citing public health risks that require six months of decontamination. They have until Sunday to pack up and leave. #Homelessness #MoretonBay #HousingCrisis

Recreational vessels (small fishing boats, tinnies, charter boats, sailboats, and yachts) crash into migrating humpback whales and their calves. Many of the boats operate at very high speeds through the nursing and resting ground for humpback whale mothers and calves,
