I never worked with him, in fact I always worked at the opposition network in Sydney. But I’ll never forget the day he made a beeline for me at a funeral (of all places) & blew me away with his praise & kind words of encouragement & then his sense of humour. I spent my childhood with him in my lounge room telling me everything I needed to know (never imagining I might try to do the same when I grew up), so that day, as we mourned a much loved colleague was the ultimate personal “Brian told me so” moment, & so very special to me. Vale & thank you Mr Henderson.
Trying to pluck up the courage to watch “The Newsreader” @abctv & wondering how accurate it might be. And then the husband arrives home with this – salvaged from the destruction of regional television news by metropolitan centralisation & “commercial reality”. I was lucky enough to work in regional TV in Albury and Newcastle. And I still believe that a vibrant local media is incredibly important to regional areas to tell local stories with local knowledge and local empathy. Those years in regional telly taught me many valuable lessons in front of a forgiving audience & I’ll always be grateful for it but….. here’s proof I worked too close to the last gasp of the ‘80’s. Thank you @nbnnews (where this pic is from) & so many wonderful people who worked there like @craigsidell & @david_threlfo for making me a better journo
About last night…. He’ll kill me but so worth it. . #jimmyandsteve #birdnerdsrusfarm
Husband of the Year bought me a new toy 🚜 Imma bona fide 👩🏻🌾 now Soil rehab just got real #birdnerdsrusfarm 🌱 💚
So yesterday this happened & I finally got to say thank you for the amazing job she did 20 years ago. On September 11, 2001, I had gone to bed early, preparing for my ten month old nocturnal party animal to wake me up at least five times, when the phone rang. I picked up, half asleep, & my executive producer @sabra.lane 🙌🏻 from the Sunday political interview show I then worked on said: “Sorry to wake you. Get out of bed and turn on the TV” & hung up. So like thousands of Australians I sat horrified with tears rolling down my cheeks watching @shortblack_ & wondering what sort of world I was bringing our baby boy into. And there was Sandra, watching it unfold too, processing it with the same shock as the rest of us but working live on air delivering the news to us all with none of the resources that television production teams have today for rolling coverage. Knowing what she must’ve been facing at a purely professional level, in the horror of it all, I was in awe of what she was doing and remain so to this day. You were incredible that night Sul. It’s a mark of the amazing human you are ❤️And thanks to the very excellent face fairy @kim_anderson1 for the pic
Not today’s dusk, because today our tanks are filling up 🎉 but this ticked all the Dorothea Mackellar boxes a few days ago #birdnerdsrusfarm
Sooooo proud of The Husband. While I was at work on Sunday, he caught his first swarm, with zero experience & zero idea of what he was doing, despite his fear of bees. He dialled 1800 @johgriggs7 for advice because he didn’t want to bother me & off he went on his own & caught them 👊🏻 #accidentalbeekeeper #gojimmygo #birdnerdsrusfarm 🐝
Nothing in the feeder since the mouse plague. But he comes every morning for the gee up. #birdwatchers Ah the serenity #birdnerdsrusfarm
Covid may have rained on her 21st parade a few times now 🙄 but this legend of a niece is still jumping for joy #swipeleft for evidence & that is pretty much how she approaches life regardless of the hurdles. Happy happy birthday Millie Moo 🎉❤️ 🎊 ( I know I’m a day late but all the best aunties are)

Can’t see him today #thankscovid🙄 but more than 40 years on, I can still see him doing this. Back in the day, Don liked to run ideas up the camp flagpole (& horrify my mother at the same time) Happy Father’s Day, to all the excellent Dads & to my thankfully construction savvy one! ❤️ #fathersday

It’s free, it’s fascinating & it’s a treasure hunt that’s excellent for Australia. Tell the kids it’s like Pokémon Go but with more characters. And you don’t even need binoculars. I’m very happy to again be an ambassador for the #AussieBirdCount which begins on Oct 18. Register via the link in my bio, & count the birds in your backyard for @birdlifeoz You’ll help out the feathered friends of #straya & you may be surprised by how much you’ll enjoy finding your inner birdnerd 💪🏻
Paddock Patrol. Cracking day for it. Happy Spring 💚 from #birdnerdsrusfarm #ramboandsteve 💪🏻💪🏻
