Australian history may be short compared to other countries but it is full of heartache and hardship. Life in Australia was very hard up until the 1960’s for many people. The bush ranger era was a frightening time and not something to be glorified. I went to Glenrowan a few years ago where the Kelly gang met their fait. It’s a relatively small area where the last stand took place. Below is a link to my experience of my trip to Glenrowan and a couple of photos of the site of Ann Jones’ pub.

Hepatitis A outbreak in several European countries
While the figures are low really this is pretty nasty, not the sort of thing that one comes in contact with generally, hepatitis is always around as it is in its various strains. If the governments could do an advertising campaign and hand out education leaflets in the streets through charities and so on, to heighten awareness of Hep A symptoms and prevention in homelessness communities and travellers that has to be a good help in prevention.

Denmark to tackle deepfakes by giving people copyright to their own features
It should be an automatic thing for our right to “copyright “ over our own bodies, voices and faces. It should also be illegal to take a photo, film or record anyone including their voices without the individual’s permission.

Pay attention now to the world in conflict there is no way out
What terrible news today with the US bombing Iran which now pushes us further into human suffering and even more death. If only our world leaders were spiritually awake, but sadly none of them are. The dread has been with me since I was a young mother, knowing that we will face this terrible suffering and here we are. Why even bring children into this world only to lose them to evil? Before I was married I used to pray that my husband would be medically unfit for war and my children also, I got that wish. This is a past life thing with me because I remember my past life in WW1, and in this lifetime growing up like everyone my generation that lived with the physical and psychological damage done by two world wars and other conflicts.
Today sadly my psychic predictions have sadly come to fruition, as we have watched to building up of war in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine still not abating, These conflicts are going to join up eventually because there is no stopping things now. It’s a terrifying reality for everyone, my heart goes out to everyone that is living in a conflict zone anywhere in the world and for the innocent animals.
I notice very few people actually read my predictions on this new blog and also the updates or predictions that come up. People need to be prepared and to have a chance to put provisions together asap. I just want ordinary folks to be safe and protected as well as possible. You are running out of time.
Down near the end of this particular yearly prediction written in October 2023 I stated that the terrible conflict, meaning war would begin between 2025 and 2027. This is a gradual process, a war just doesn’t happen on a Monday morning out of the blue. It’s a process where all the warnings were ignored and allowed to escalate for reasons known only to those with a vested interest in war. War makes big money.
It’s a business transaction and we ordinary citizens don’t mean a damn thing to the very rich and powerful people that cause wars. It is not our war, it’s a war created by pure evil people who have an insatiable hatred of humanity and a lust for power and absolute control over everything. Mineral wealth in particular is the big thing right now for technology, especially military and AI, and the top dogs fight to the death for it. That being our deaths, never theirs.
Here is my April tarot card of the month, where I tell you that Israel and the US will attack Iran and will install a regime change. I had a very strong feeling that the US would bomb Iran today Australia time and sure enough they did. We can only pray for the innocent people of the world and the beautiful animals. I don’t take sides in a war because it’s the ordinary people and animals that matter to me and we are not responsible for war ever. We must though act like civilised human beings with dignity and respect and not devolve into animal like savages towards complete strangers that we don't even know. They too have families no different to ours.
Peace and blessings to the world and all our beautiful children and innocent animals
Big warm hugs

Australian winters shouldn't feel this unbelievably cold
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-21/australia-winter-cold-insulation-freezing/105421176
Lol, try living in Canberra or down the Snowy Mountains, that’s cold ðð❄️☃️ I woke up to minus 7.8 this morning and still waiting for the dreaded minus 8 still to come. We used to have gas ducted heating in our house until the ACT government made it so expensive to use because of the BS climate change they also stopped people having combustible fires to heat their homes too. Electricity prices have skyrocketed too. So heating your house in Canberra is very expensive now, many people have switched to using solar panels for energy efficiency but at night time you don’t get free electricity and you need to warm your house o you will freeze. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
Off to spotlight everyone to buy thermal lined curtains and snakes for the doors. ððĨķA good idea for open doorways is put a heavy curtain up to keep the heat in the room and stop the drafts coming down the hallway. Perhaps even a heavy curtain at the front door on the inside to close when you are home for the evening. Insulation tape around windows and door frames to prevent the cold from coming through also.
I have noticed some people commenting online about using bubble wrap on windows in winter to use as insulation too. I guess you have to do what you have to do to leeward, but don’t neglect ventilation to prevent black mould from building up on your windows, because that will make you ill.
The writer of this article is a twat because fossil fuels will never run out that is utter BS. It is impossible for this planet to run out of fossil fuels or water either for that matter and everything in the universe goes in cycles that can be scientifically proven as well astrologically proven. And it’s the Dutch that wear clogs not Scandinavians, sheesh.

Australia’s first lab-grown meat will be on menus within weeks
https://www.theguardian.com/food/2025/jun/18/australia-approves-sale-of-lab-grown-fake-meat
Franken-food just what the world doesn’t need. Not something that I would want to eat nor do I think it’s a healthy option. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

Inside Dargan Shelter, the Blue Mountains cave home to artefacts linked to the Ice Age
This is an awesome discovery for Australia and hopefully we will learn much from this site. The region gets very cold in winter including snowfall. It would be very hard to survive in freezing winters back then. Summers are cooler than Sydney due to the altitude. The Blue Mountains are a beautiful place to visit and a must do for tourists, The Blue Mountains and Katoomba are buzzing with people all year round due to the beautiful scenery and tourist attractions. So if you come from overseas, please put this area on your itinerary.

BEST OF 2024: We're just not built for winter in Canberra
https://region.com.au/were-just-not-built-for-winter-in-canberra/778945/
Australian houses are definitely not up to standards of European, British or US and Canadian standards. They are single brick buildings with poor or no insulation. But the buck stops with the government allowing cowboys to control the industry going way back to early 20th century. It’s not just Canberra that has poor building standards it’s national and always has been the case.
Read the comments too because you will see that people that have lived outside of Australia are better informed on what is acceptable housing standards and what is abysmal housing standards.
The world standard is a house must be at least 18 degrees centigrade inside to meet human standards. Australia fails the pub test on that.
The supposed ideal temperature for your home in winter in Canberra is 18 to 21 degrees. But bear in mind if your thermostat is 20 degrees upwards then you are chewing through the power and your bills will be high. Insulation, closing curtains and doors helps keep the heat in. Buy thermal lined curtains that keep the cold out in winter and the heat out in summer. People with ducted gas heating no longer use it because it’s so expensive thanks to the climate change propaganda and the cost of gas’s heating has skyrocketed in the past few years. That is a political driven policy there is no other reason for this apart from greed.

Levitating liar
If there is one thing I can’t stand it’s a liar and especially if it is deliberately deceptive and misleading gullible trusting people.

New bio-based hot glue made from industrial leftovers outperforms commercial adhesives
https://phys.org/news/2025-06-bio-based-hot-industrial-leftovers.html
The age of Aquarius brings forth new technologies and inventions, this is the dawning on a modern Industrial Revolution. I wonder how long before this glue will be used in manufacturing and general use. It probably will have to go through some strict testing before being commercially available.

Scotland's travellers suffered 'cultural genocide', says report
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp8de3ld05yo
Wow, I never knew about this and I lived in Scotland throughout this period. It was never spoken of anywhere that I knew of, I only ever encountered one traveler child at school and that was in 1968, she was there only a few days and left, I had only just started school that year.
What makes this situation even worse is taking children out of the country and never seeing their families again. Can you imagine what it must have been like for parents to have all their children taken away and never seeing them again? This is pure evil and the Scottish church involved in this abuse too. The psychological and emotional damage caused would be immense and no healing for the lives destroyed. The adoption records should reflect the numbers of children removed surely unless they were deliberately hidden to prevent any future tracing of the children and parents.
This should never have been allowed to happen and a blatant violation of human rights and rights of children. This is unforgivable abuse and all those involved in this historic abuse must be held accountable.
I hope the Scottish people get behind the travelling community and support them in this horrendous crime. Ask yourself just what it means to be human and look into your hearts.

Meteorite hunters make 'amazing' discovery deep in WA outback
Thankfully most meteor debris from space that lands in Australia lands in the outback, and not in suburban areas where the damage could be horrendous. Space debris and meteors can land anywhere such as the Canadian tundra, the Pacific Ocean, Australia, Antarctica and deserts.

UK's oldest polar bear euthanised as health fails
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr588d843e7o
How sad, poor bear, I hope she had a good life, she was safer in the zoo than in the wild really and survived longer than she would in the wild, not to mention safe from hunters. What a magnificent animal and very cute too. It's sad that animals face so much danger in our world, they deserve so much better. Thank goodness for the amazing people that look after the animals in our world looking after their health, wellbeing and safety.

‘Not aggressive’: Petting zoo worker killed after ‘rough-housing’ with kangaroo
Respect animals first and foremost, then use common sense. Roughhousing is animal abuse and the animal cannot give consent. The animal is held in a protective enclosure and therefore vulnerable to human contact because it cannot escape to safety if it feels threatened.
While kangaroos are very cute, please don’t ever think of approaching them, they are very dangerous. Keep children well away from them. Wild animals need a comfortable distance between them and humans to feel safe. Take photos from a distance and zoom in with the lens. That way you are letting the animals know that you are not a threat to them or their babies.
Ever heard of the term being “unzipped” by a kangaroo? That is when they swipe you down the middle of your body with their powerful and very sharp claws. Try holding in your internal organs after that and getting to a hospital on time, people outside of Australia are so unaware of how dangerous kangaroos can be. They are known to drown dogs and don’t think you can stop them because they will do the same to humans if you mess with them. Australian people don’t go messing around with Roos as a general rule.
Red kangaroos do grow bigger than 6 foot tall, they can be up to 7 foot tall. Kangaroos are very powerful animals and their tails are powerful too. They can use their tails to knock down the intended target with one blow from the tail, then they use it to balance their body and use their legs to kick. The average man is not strong enough to defend himself bare handed against kangaroos.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangaroo different types of kangaroos and their behaviour
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_grey_kangaroo
The common Eastern grey kangaroo stands between 1.7 (5 foot 5) and 2 meters (6 foot 5) when high standing, as in facing off to an enemy or another male kangaroo.
Where I live these are practically everywhere especially in winter when they are looking for food. I see them at the bottom of my street. I can assure you people get out of their way pretty quickly and keep an eye on children if the kangaroos come into a play park or school grounds.
When my children were at school, teachers would be rounding up the kids some days to keep them away from kangaroos that entered the playground. It’s just part of life in town and we don’t mind them being around. But we are mindful at dawn and dusk when driving because that’s when kangaroos and other wildlife are very active. There are regular car accidents involving kangaroos and the car is a write off after hitting a roo.

Valerie the lost Australian sausage dog recovered finally
https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/26/australia/australia-valerie-lost-dog-captured-intl-hnk/index.html
I have been watching this news story since I first came across it a few months ago, I am just so glad to see that she has been caught after such a very long time. I hope she will settle down with her family again and be able to live a happy life from now on.
This must have been a terrible time of anguish and stress for Valerie as well as her fur parents. I can understand the trauma involved, our late Tolstoy, a Norwegian forest cat went missing for three weeks and we were utterly stressed and missing him terribly. We were lucky to get him him back home safely. But poor little Valerie missing for 529 days is a nightmare, sadly many fur babies go missing never to be reunited with their families. I am just so grateful that Valerie has a happy ending to her story.
Valerie is back with her mum and dad, happy little sausage ❤️❤️ðķ
