Eight local species experts and nine Jabalbina rangers joined QTFN for a two-day biodiversity survey of Lot 83 on Eastern Kuku Yalanji Country on May 1-2, 2025. Through on-ground surveys, acoustic recorders, and camera traps, we recorded at least 529 new species records for the property. A highlight was 14 tree kangaroos found through thermal drone surveys, including two mums with young at foot. There were many geographically-restricted, undescribed, and already one new invertebrate species found.

People are talking about the Arctic route on the news, the Northern Sea Route (NSR) — a striking but tragic consequence of global warming. While it offers shorter shipping paths, it poses serious dangers to life on Earth. Sad when people are hyped about it.

At the District 9620 Interact Conference on Sunday 20 July 2025, we talked to inspired Interact members about the world of Rotaract and the different Rotaract club's we have in District 9620. We connected with them for a couple of hours and had a blast. We were proud to represent the Rotaract Club of Brisbane International at this district event in connecting with students, teachers and district leaders.

I came back after a month to see the result of cutting the invasive vine next to the pedestrian bridge. I’m happy. Trees saved!!! The video below shows it best.

Volunteering as a business mentor might not plant trees, but it definitely stops people printing 47 versions of a terrible business plan. So while I settle into my new role as Associate Director of Student Wellbeing here at King's and get so much wonderful mentorship from everyone around me to find my feet, I support new entrepreneurs on the other side of the globe get it right the first time and save forests from death-by-spreadsheet ;) I've mentored Celine since the beginning of the year to start her own business supporting uni students write Bachelor and Master's theses effortlessly. We meet once a month for an hour but I swear the happiness we both gain from it lasts a lot longer :)

Today from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, I took part in a weeding session around the basketball courts. We focused on a fence that had become completely overgrown with vines and weeds. Over the course of the morning, we worked to carefully remove all the vegetation covering the fence, helping to clean up and improve space.

Last Thursday we helped the groundskeeper weed around the basketball courts and clear the fence from 9am to 12pm. We focused on a fence that was overgrown and cleared the whole thing.

This morning I helped with landscaping at Kings
