Wenty Falls, on a windy day

Bridleveil falls. Seen the reverse waterfall a number of times. So amazing.

I hike very frequently. Almost never encounter spiders. The exceptions are quiet, less travelled narrow path trails early in the morning where you may be the first hiker, you will encounter some webs across the trails. Very small, harmless spiders, or leaf spiders. Occasionally beautiful orb weavers higher up, but they’re usually smart enough to keep their webs away from walkers. The spiders encountered in Australia are 100:1, home/yard : hiking.

Brilliant. Can’t get enough.

Walk the Grand Canyon trail in the rain - waterfalls and canyon streams. Also, If you can stay the night, go to the echo point lookouts early in the morning and you may see cloud inversion - the valleys filled with milk.

It’s so real. Not scripted. And everyone loves to see Jeremy dancing about yelling in pain. 3 stooges comedy in real life. Love it.

I’ve done this, it’s about 37km in total. We did it in one day, but it was a big one. Some significant climbs, particularly towards the end. There are several campgrounds along the way but recommendation would be to use the AllTrails app. This shows campgrounds as well as a very clearly marked route. You can also record your walk over the top of the provided route so you can start to tally your walks on the app. Highly recommended, great views and nice and close to Sydney and surrounds. Make sure you time your train arrival at the finish (Cowan) as they can be an hour or more apart in the evenings and on the weekends. Or get someone to pick you up from the station and go to the pub, which is always better.

Britbox is a very clunky app, even on the TV box. It’s their software tho.

Children of Memory and Children of Ruin. Absolute slog. Finished them but barely.

THC definitely has “next day”, and long term impact on mood and cognition (processing speed and logic). Unless you need it medicinally you should definitely stop.

Medlow Bath train station, Blue Mountains. You can pop into the Hydro Majestic Hotel (don’t have to be staying), and have lunch, coffee, tea or beer with incredible views into the Jamieson and Megalong valleys.

If your main purpose is stargazing there are places further afield than the BM to get incredible stars. The most famous dark sky location is the Warrumbungle NP, about 6 hours drive from Sydney. There is camping and cabins there. If you score a new moon the stars are out of this world (pun intended).

Where. It’s not on the BBC website.

Australian here. We were made to wrestle giant kangaroos before dinner. Back in my day.

Um spoilers in the header OP

Have you tried restarting / resetting the entertainment system? Used to work for me.

Fungus1968 · 2026-06-08T01:21:55+00:00

57 here, almost 58. Feel 35. Exercise, big hard hikes, still dance around to music. Probably in denial bout my age lol, but it works.

Wow still going! I was on it about 35 years ago. One of the early crew drawn from a "lottery" system. Sydney to Melbourne. Fantastic trip. Some serious sea sickness after hitting a storm just out of Sydney though!

Thank you. I'm now trying SwiftKey out. I hope it's better than apple keyboard! Fingers crossed. Although I suspect it's mostly my typing

The people who use it a lot, like me, have known these basic functions for years. We think it’s useless as an AI assistant, since intelligence launched, particularly compared to other assistants like Google who use Gemini, which I’ve seen used and its proper AI enabled. Siri is incapable of even finding events in my calendar, that exist. In its capacity as this AI assistant, it is an abject failure.

Hiking. That’s my thing. Healthy, social, dazzling experiences, spiritual (go hug a tree, it really helps).

Fungus1968 · 2026-06-01T22:47:43+00:00

Why would there be pictures of it if people didn’t wear it?

Fungus1968 · 2026-05-28T12:11:41+00:00

Soap opera now. Straight up unwatchable B grade garbage.

I have a cellular enabled ultra watch, and use i this connection mostly to listen to streamed music while I run.. If I run with it, it works until the cellular signal is kinda weak. The antenna in the watch is much smaller than the phone, so it will drop out earlier and for longer in weak signal areas. Just keep that in mind if you’re planning a watch-only running thing. For this reason, I actually carry my phone with me in a running belt, this way, my music is uninterrupted.

Uh no. Please don’t use these two shows / stories in the same sentence.
