    The coordinates work in Zoom Earth.

    Big f8cking trees confirmed. Swept away, smashed and laid over. Oz is chock a block full of examples.

    Many Geologists, I’ll repeat, will concur… but not say so.

    Another tree stump. You can see this from all across the world. It is the same perfect cut.

    Hmm! I sometimes wonder if it’s just me being persona non Grata or a glitch in the works?
    I post my pics and nothing. No error message and they don’t appear on my screen, for more than a half hour, should I re post them or just stop bothering?

    They appear eventually as I see. All good then.

    CNBC

    The Biden administration is formally withdrawing its vaccine and testing mandate for businesses, after the Supreme Court blocked the requirements earlier this month.

    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration will pull the rule for businesses effective Wednesday, Jan. 26, the agency said in a statement posted to its website Tuesday. The Supreme Court’s conservative majority, in a 6-3 decision, ruled that OSHA had exceeded its authority.

    “Although Congress has indisputably given OSHA the power to regulate occupational dangers, it has not given that agency the power to regulate public health more broadly,” the court wrote in an unsigned opinion.

    The Biden administration is ending its legal battle over the mandate — at least for now. OSHA will ask the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit to dismiss all cases related to the mandate, according to a Labor Department spokesperson. The administration had faced dozens of lawsuits from Republican-led states, private businesses, religious groups and national trade associations. The 6th Circuit has jurisdiction over those cases.

    Steve T – loving your work on giant trees.
    I know of one on one side of the Tully River gorge.

    Steve, your lat-longs work in gulag maps, too.

    The Tully Gorge tree is at -17.77007, 145.65271 … but completely obscured on gulag maps satellite view by rainforest, but it does show up in 3D mode and when you’re there, standing on the south side of the river, the rock formation in unmistakably ancient giant wood on the north side.

    Steve, this link shows glimpses of the petrified wood of that Tully Gorge tree.

    It should open at image 23, which shows the best view.
    I have photos from the 1970s somewhere with the rock visible all the way up, but CO2-fertilisation has caused a lot more vegetation in the last 40-odd years.
    It’s also visible in images 2, 4, 12, 13, 24, 29, 41 and 45 of that link’s set of 59 images.
    There are hundreds of metres of ancient giant wood fibre along that side of the river – all just one tree.

    Just on the change-the-date nutjobs, while I’m banned from News Corpse for excessive truth, I got this in to today’s Cairns Commie paper under a mates name…

    The Editor
    On Australia Day we must all remember that the date January 26th has nothing whatsoever to do with James Cook or the First Fleet.
    They arrived on 28/04/1770 and 18/01/1788 respectively.
    The 26th of January 1949 is the day Australian nationality came into existence when the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 was enacted.
    That was the day we were all first called Australians, regardless of racial origin, and allowed to travel on Australian passports as Australians.
    That’s why Australia Day and so many citizenship ceremonies are held on January 26th – it’s a celebration of Australians coming together to all be Australians.

    How many lockdown parties did Boris Johnson and staff attend? Here’s a guide

    You need a guide for BloJo’s lockdown parties?

    While UK grannies died alone, and family members were barred from the funerals of their loved ones.

    It’s a good insight into the political class.

    What was the weather like in 1788?
    Scientists have discovered that 1788 was a La Nina year, when the east coast of Australia experienced unusually higher rainfall. … March of 1788 was very wet; July experienced a 40-hour-long gale that produced huge seas and the bad weather continued battering the settlement until August.

    Well, I did go out for Aust Day celebrations yesterday, local club, nothing fancy. Very poor turnout on a day when it would normally be pumping. Poor sod at the door just doing her job as required by gummint. Without a fuss I said I wouldn’t mask up, didn’t carry my mobile for vax cert and was happy to go elsewhere if required. Went out of her way to get me in. Good egg, she gets it. Other places that would normally be pumping weren’t. Only one member of the band turned up. He did OK. Word will get around. But not to everybody
