Meanwhile, in Geelong...

'Geelong’s corpse flower has now bloomed, revealing its putrid “dead possum” stench.

'The corpse plant, Amorphophallus titanum, flowers once every seven to 10 years – and then only for 48 hours, before the flower withers and dies.'

The Age · Corpse flower blooms in Geelong, revealing its putrid ‘dead possum’ stenchBy Liam Mannix
Continued thread

Speaking of Uber, I just took a short trip within Geelong and the driver was a delightful bloke from Afghanistan. Has been here for years, came by boat as an asylum seeker originally. Loves living in Geelong.

I enjoy using Uber in regional cities for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it seems to be a viable full-time job in the country, so the drivers enjoy their work more. Secondly, there's usually not some distant airport that they're all obsessed with driving to, so they expect to do lots of short trips and don’t mind that.
