Mission
Entertainment with Purpose.
Emotive storytelling of an expeditionary nature. Contrasting landscape, science and human interaction to find out how we read planet Earth.
“Study the science of art. Study the art of science. Develop your senses- especially learn how to see. Realise that everything is connected to everything else.”

How do we study the impacts of management practices like culling on ground nesting bird species such as the endangered night parrot in Australia? Nest predation experiments.

Emma has been working 12-hour days for over 3-weeks in +35 degree heat and all in the name of science. Documenting the work ethic, enthusiasm and passion of Emma and her volunteers has been incredibly humbling. Every day sets a new challenge and that excites us. What will tomorrow bring?

Why?
To support science, discovery and public engagement.
Where?
Ethabuka, Simpson Desert.
What?
1) explore how carrion is used by Australian vertebrates, arthropods and microbes;
(2) determine whether the presence of carrion has cascading impacts on surrounding live prey; and,
(3) examine the effects of carrion on soil nutrients and subsequent plant growth surrounding the resource.
The project currently spans three study systems across Australia, representing temperate, subalpine and desert biomes.

Today we travelled over 1200km in order to make some good headway in reaching our final destination, the Simpson Desert.
We were also a witness to what can only be described as a magical display of thunder, lighting and heavy rains, rains sorely needed in the Outback of Australia.
Tomorrow we continue north-west as we draw closer to supporting Emma and the team in pursuit of science, discovery and communication.

Both plant and animal life endemic to snow-bound areas develop ways to adapt. Among the adaptive mechanisms for plants are dormancy, seasonal dieback, survival of seeds; and for animals are hibernation, insulation, anti-freeze chemistry, storing food, drawing on reserves from within the body, and clustering for mutual heat.
Hmmmm. An excuse for chocolate perhaps? 😉
Happy weekend. Happy learnings. And for those out exploring this weekend be mindful of these ingenuities and how precious our natural environments are. 📷 @steeperdeeperfaster // @pointsnorthheli

Did you know horses once roamed across frozen landscapes over 14,000 years ago? We didn’t.
As a geochemist and vertebrate palaeontologist Penny has a great interest in studying isotopes in fossil tooth enamel to help solve the mysteries of times past. We first met Penny as part of the Natural Trap Cave project and both her efforts in putting in those long days often required and her enthusiasm for both science and discovery was palpable. Learn more about Penny and her involvement in the project. Link in bio. // @urochester @mypubliclands @paleololigo //

For us, we move beyond doubts and expectations by asking why. No matter what project we work on, we always follow the very process we aspire to celebrate and share with our audience.
Step 1: Ask a question or identify a problem.
Step 2: Background research.
Step 3: Form a hypothesis.
Step 4: Experiment and observe.
Step 5: Draw a conclusion.

Snow's ability to reflect sunlight back into the atmosphere is very high, reflecting 80 to 90 percent. Snow's high reflectivity helps Earth's energy balance, because it reflects solar energy back into space, which helps cool our planet.
The thermal properties of snow have important consequences for climate, as well. Beneath just 30 centimeters (1 foot) of snow, the soil and the organisms within it are protected from changes in the air temperature above the snow surface.
Every element of nature has a purpose and acts as a support mechanism for a greater cause. For us we enjoy sharing in the act of discovery but we love to celebrate the science that is nature.

“When you and I are together is where it begins. Husbands love your wives without condition. Fathers and mothers love your children. Love each other without condition. Then if you have a pet dog – love them without condition. If you have plants – love them. The land you’re living in – love it the same way. Once you’ve got it strong within yourself, then start on your neighbour. And just keep growing. Street. Suburb. City. Country. World. It’s not easy, but once you reach that level of caring and sharing – that is really Kanyini.”
~ Ngura: A sense of belonging to home and land.
~ Walytja: Family connecting with life.
~ Kurunpa: Love, spirit or soul.
~ Tjuukurpa: The belief about creation and the right way to live.
“Every action of doing will create a reaction. You can be kind in your mind to everything in the world, but it’s the action of being kind that reverberates and matters.”
Robert James ‘Bob’ Randall passed on May 12th, 2015. He was a great man. We are grateful for the time we shared with him and have ensured to spread the meaning and importance of #kanyini not only in how we live out our lives but also in the work we do. Happy weekend. Happy learnings. //@sammmyconnelly @hayden.griffith @canon__official @redcamerausers @djiglobal //

#Anangu are guided by Tjukurpa (law) to keep both culture and country strong and whilst it may not be obvious to a passer-by it was easily felt as we went about in acknowledging country.
For Yankunytjatjara Elder, Bob Randall, when speaking of the past, “we did not think of anything as being different from us. As we walked over the country, we didn’t worry about permanency of shelter. You don’t need a house when you can leave it behind. You wouldn’t imprison yourself into one little box. Our way of living was ‘ourness’. No one is without in that way of thinking.” 4/5

In spending time with Bob we learnt about his belief systems, connection to land and how this translated into his way of be-ing. “Growing up, our oldies used to tell us we were connected to everything else, every other living thing, and the proof of that is being alive. It is my responsibility to care for everything around me. My people have a name for caring this way, we call it #Kanyini. It is caring with unconditional love. 3/5

The stark, flat and unforgiving expanse of blinding salt-lakes surrounded by sand hills are what define the Central and Western deserts. The Anangu people have lived and managed this country for thousands upon thousands of years.
It also happens to be the home of the second-largest living bird by height, the emu.
For Bob, he tells us, the emu not only has a prominent place in Aboriginal mythology but are also a member of his family. Just as the “trees are our family as with kangaroos, goanna and all the other animals. You’re never lost and you’re never, ever alone.“ 2/5

Sometimes we just have to accept that going to bed may look a little different when on the road.
A while back we had the privilege of spending time with a great man as he shared with us his #stories of both person and place.
Join us this week as we #explore the lands of the #Anangu people in memory of Yankunytjatjara Elder, Bob Randall, who passed 4 years ago, come May. // @djiglobal // no. 1

Cave creek flows perennially through Clarke Gorge from the Blue Waterholes 1km upstream. The spur has a flat top, which along with a number of similar relict features in the gap and in the Goodradigbee valley, belongs to a former valley floor leading outwards and gently downwards from the flat interfluves of Cooleman Plain.
Once covered by a shallow sea, we were excited to be taking a step back in time in order to follow this journey of water from the treeless plains through to limestone gorges, caves and subterranean rivers.
