Downunder does Mt Lofty. The final@stage of the TDU past our place five times today …choppers, coppers, cones, cars and cyclists everywhere. And a perfect day for the the whole circus …and all the other MAMIL brigade

You’ll be hearing a lot about damaged roads in the next few weeks, here’s an idea of how severe that damage is.
More rain, more mountain snow to season-high levels this week and the storages are all full. So how big will the #flood be in the Murray this year?
Extraordinarily proud of this young bloke, who is living proof that the fourth generation is the best yet … and by some margin. Go hard @RadarReporting … love your work!
As a fourth generation ABC employee, forever cursed to be chained to the National Broadcaster, I hope it’ll still be here in another 90 years. The ABC is far from perfect, but it’s an organisation like no other, and I hope it can continue to offer something for everyone. #ABC90

When I asked NSW farmer Ben Jackson for some footage of his newly-green paddocks, I didn’t expect he’d go one step further. I give you... sheep forming the ABC ‘worm’ logo. And a bit of a rain dance from Ben! 💃🏻 🐑 👏🏻 @BreakfastNews @abcnews @ABCRural
Back in the saddle and the reason I look worried, is because it’s like the apocalypse has arrived on what was beautiful Kangaroo Island. On air tonight tracking the most extraordinary fires ever seen on the island - a disaster for the community, farmers ...and the environment.

ABC Leigh Radford @CaptainRural has told @debstribe he's watching the Cudlee Creek fire from his home. "I'm looking North East from Mount Lofty of the fire, it is massive! This plume of smoke coming from the fire & the wind is not good under these conditions." @CFSAlerts #SAfires
Brilliant to hear a true advocate of Australian agriculture talking with conviction in Adelaide about the future of farming in this country. So many issues and the NFF working hard to promote the interests of farming. Hats off to you Fiona Simson! #royaladelaideshow #nff
This is a brilliant initiative and will be fascinating to see what a difference eliminating cats from even a small part of the state will make for wildlife #NoCatsinAus
