Flysa spent some of the early years of his life managing construction projects in the northwest of Western Australia to assist in the transportation of iron ore. The projects comprised railways, bridges, and wharves. But how did the iron ore get there? To answer that question, we have to go back a few years.
About 4.5 billion years ago, the Earth was formed as a sphere of molten rock from gases emitted by the Sun. Over millions of years, the surface gradually cooled and formed a solid, uneven, crust with constant upthrust from the molten interior (magma). Volcanic emissions from the molten interior, which broke through the crust, released water vapour into the atmosphere, which gradually condensed and fell as rain, covering the lower depressions in the earth’s surface with water by the force of gravity, thus forming the oceans. Cometary impact also contributed water to the oceans. That all occurred about 3.8 billion years ago. All the time the mountains were pushed up by the magma at the rate of a few millimetres a year, which continues to this day.

This morning I went outside to sit in the sunshine and have a morning cup of tea. The manager of my building complex was mowing the lawn and the smell of the freshly mown grass was in the morning air. Most of us know that smell so well and it triggers memories of childhoods and happy days.
In November 2021 Anthony Albanese tried to defend his Labor Party stand to disallow producing ID at polling booths. He contended that because the AEC has not prosecuted a single person, despite that years earlier 18,000 people were found to have voted more than once was proof that the system is working well—say what Albo?
Labor and the bloody Greens don't want ID verification because, well, you figure why. Furthermore, if the AEC were to prosecute any of the 18,000 that Albanese considers as mere "errors" it would highlight the fact that the system is wide open to fraud. Also, if they could prove multiple voting by any person what would they do with that person’s vote? Is the perpetrator suddenly going to be honest and tell to whom his illegal vote was cast so it could be withdrawn? Ho, Ha,Ha, Get real!

When I was a young lass, I was a fencer. No, not the farming type that wandered around the farm putting up wire and posts to keep stock in a paddock. I mean a swish swish, off with their heads type of fencer.
So I was shocked to hear a man had won the women's veterans fencing championships in Florida.
USA Fencing said ...an "important first step toward expanding access to the sport of fencing and creating inclusive and safe spaces that promote equality and fairness for all."
So, just how does this promote equality and fairness for all?
Fairness to all that is, unless of course, you were born a woman. Until the athletes stand up, refuse to compete, or form their own competitions away from these governing bodies, this will not stop.

It is DONE. They had dimmed their gaslights so low, that when pronounced at there brightest — there was no more gas. Announced six weeks and three days ago on the ominous eve of a rare blue supermoon, and conducted on the eve of the Northern Hemisphere’s October 14 annular solar eclipse, no amount of occult observance and arcane magick could prevent this karmic rebound. It is not hyperbolic to stress that a great malevolence has been thwarted and that a spell of ignorance has been broken.
The Voice has been silenced, and the Silent Majority have defiantly found their voice!
Never in our Nation’s history has a referendum been successful without bipartisan support. Since Federation, only 8 referendums have succeeded, and 36 have failed. This was the latest entirely foreseeable failure, and the most satisfying — failure number 37. The political pollsters were right in their foreshadowing — there was no unexpected “shock.”
Australia's Big End of Town gambled heavily in the Voice Cup last weekend. They lost. Only the Nanny "State" (Canberra) voted "Yes". But their horse ran last in every other state and territory and now has to be put down.
This costly ($400M) and divisive exercise showed that Australians do not want politicians meddling with their federal constitution. We have learned to distrust proposals supported by big government, big business, trade unions, woke celebrities and the ABC. And the more we heard of this racist proposal, the less we liked it.
The Victorian era marked the height of the Industrial Revolution, a period of immense technological advancement and industrialisation. The Laxey Wheel is a true monument to the era's industrial and engineering achievements, which revolutionised various industries, including mining.
The Laxey Wheel, also known as Lady Isabella, is a large waterwheel located in the village of Laxey on the Isle of Man, which is a self-governing British Crown Dependency in the Irish Sea. The Laxey Wheel is one of the most prominent tourist attractions on the island and is known for its historical and engineering significance. Least we forget the TT Races, but more on that, another day.
It means a great deal to me, as a proud daughter of a Manxman, and I always feel that my late Dad was a " Can Do " sort of person. He never shied away from something that was troublesome.

Real history is no longer part of the school curriculum. It should be because we have much to learn from it. The adage that it keeps repeating itself is a salutary lesson in common sense.
Most Australians would not know that the reason that the US Marine Corps was formed was specifically to fight Islam. A nearly 240 year history of the fight against Islam is sadly, largely forgotten.

The Voice was neither about “closing the gap,” nor “listening to achieve better outcomes.” Such simple notions were crafted to appeal to the feel-good virtue-signallers, and they were never sincere.
Conversely, the NO Campaign never truly addressed the real diabolical agenda, preferring to bluntly deflect with “racist and divisive” and “too risky.”
It is all these things, but it was fundamentally a Davos’ inspired UN-WEF collaboration, a plunder-project, that was essential for advancing Schwab’s Great Reset. It was truly this, and nothing else.
WATER:
The human body is mostly water. Some folk drink it only in an emergency; they reckon it rusts your plumbing. More than seventy percent of the earth's surface is awash with it and as Australians know only too well, it often rages across the land sweeping away towns and drowning all in its path. Nevertheless, it's something we can't live without and fad provides the lucrative, commercial hook.
The fashionable quest for pure, crystalline, unadulterated, potable water knows no bounds for trendoids and aspiring jocksters. The price they'll pay for it defies sane logic.
The bottled water craze has created big business.
Over the last few weeks I have noticed that people are losing their sense of humor. So I decided to write something to remind people that if you can't laugh, you may as well fook off and be done with it.
That is the problem with muslims. They never developed a sense of humor. Like the priests of the old Catholic church who were so full of hell and damnation that they forgot to look at the glory of the good and the positive things in life.
I mean, how could I ever post the joke about the two muslim mothers looking down at their kids and lamenting " Kids! They blow up so fast these days. "
It's like my old Gran used to say, if all you've got is lemons, eat the fookin things because they could be all you get today.
Lemonade? Hah! We would dream of lemonade only we were too weak to squeeze the juice and Father McGee would have whipped us stupid for daring to say such filthy things as " squeezing the juice. "
He was like that.
