#ThisIsAustralia Legendary ABC broadcaster Clarke Hansen has reportedly died.
Clarke was amazing. In the 90s he returned to 774 3LO and filled in across the station.
Funny, lively and so very sharp.
Vale.

#ThisIsAustralia My family’s military service.
Philip Ignatius Callary, a Light Horseman, died at Gallipoli on Hill 60 yet his swag was found at a dairy farm in Adelaide Hills.

#ThisIsAustralia Vale James Valentine, a great broadcasting colleague. As @greenj.bsky.social has said today, James listened to what his interviewees were saying.
Live talk radio can be fraught, challenging and overwhelming.
James navigated it as deftly as he switched over a saxophone reed.

#ThisIsAustralia Compare the Pair.
On 04.01.2026 I planted out 19 tomato seedlings I had grown - five tomato varieties plus three tomatillos - and basil, chillies and trombone.
Picked this morning, the star of my crop - a Mortgage Lifter tomato. Tasty, juicy + firm - the best you can grow at home.

#ThisIsAustralia I cannot claim 100% responsibility for this but I did contact Premier @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social to suggest it.
So far one set in the XPT lifestyle extension project has been returned to the original livery.

#ThisIsAustralia First #tomatillos harvest. Internet said one would not fruit (its friend died) but …. hey presto!
First time growing, we ate many in #Guadalajara and they are magnificent! Sweet + sour + juicy + firm + may be a little bit salty.

#ThisIsAustralia Growing #tomatillos for first time. So prolific, so abundant! You need two in proximity to achieve fruit.
Blossoms become lanterns, tiny fruit inside activated by other plant. Lantern becomes papery husk.
Similar conditions to #tomatoes yet more tart. Perfect for salads with zing!
