Greetings from Corryong …

 

A wag at Salon dubbed 2025 the year of the hive mind, mainly on the basis of shows such as Pluribus and Sinners (those with a taste for bad 2024 action flicks might want to throw in the profoundly inert Jason Statham blathering about the bad queen bee’s spawn and the need to protect the hive in The Beekeeper).

Of course none of these match the hive mind at the lizard Oz, which launched a truly despicable jihad to round out the year.

Now a new year looms like a pox and soon it’s back to herpetology studies - in due course after the pond has finished its high country tour.

Meanwhile, may the happy holydays continue for correspondents trying to crank up the energy for the exhausting, debilitating business of yet more reptile wrangling …

Oh, and enjoy the view…




Buckle up. If anyone thought 2025 was a bummer, 2026 is shaping up to be a doozy, with a high quota of cockies at large, and reptiles determined to act as galahs …

Buckle up!

And here’s that Salon link …

  1. Ah, Corryong: one of the many places in Victoria I've never even thought of visiting ... Though I have at least passed through Wodonga-Albury.
