I’ve been holding off re-posting my yearly update of Bushfire Resources in case I jinxed it, but today’s prescribed burn smoke haze reminded me we’ve avoided any catastrophic fire season this year. It might be down to the unseasonably mild summer we’ve had .
Happy to not have to re-post. Happy Wintering, Perthfolk!
I argued for a plebiscite
We bickered to and fro
I played the man, ignored the ball
by post I voted No
And when I went to parliament
I shouted once again
“We’ll all be rooned come Christmastime”
I Am Australian
I am Katter kicking crocodiles
But letting blossoms bloom
I’m Broad amending motions
Just to keep it in the room
I am one of thirty eight percent
I lost the vote and ran
I’m Abbott In Absentia
I Am Australian
Edit for context: See ‘I Am Australian ‘

Apparently, 10 years and 1 week ago today, my first Facebook post was “taking a break @ home”.
Still using both. (First tweet was 10 years and 2 weeks ago : https://twitter.com/bonwag/status/8121611 )
Many services have come and gone (MySpace deserved to die, Google Wave didn’t ) and these two have become something very different from what they were, but I think this internet fad might stick around for a while longer.
Unfortunately, it’s that time of year again – to post a list of useful online resources to use if you’re concerned about bushfires in Perth.
Here it is, the yearly post celebrating the 22nd anniversary of the first post on Bonwag! As always, it’s been superseded by Facebook (and Day One – a personal diary) in recent times, so has been lightly tended, but one day, Facebook will die, taking my posting history with it, and Bonwag will still stand!
Here’s to having survived another year.

Looks like another in-depth analysis of Eurovision voting is in order. Stay tuned until after the spoiler period has passed in Western Australia…
