It's #AustraliaDay today. Let's talk #indigenous #mythology !

A fearsome #creature known as Kinie Ger once terrorised parts of #Australia Its head had a long snout & spotted fur & its body was human.

He hunted animals of all kinds, attacking unprovoked, while using a spear.

The smartest animals, owl & crow, decided enough is enough & banded together. When Kinie Ger paused at a waterhole, they attacked. They spear it & it dies.

The animals cheer while its body transforms into the first quoll.

This is a drawing by Jurij Mikuletič of a Kinie Ger.

It shows a monster standing hunched on human legs. Its arms are long and end in claws, its back is bent and speckled by fur. The fur has spots as does a quolls.

Its head is massive and resembled that of an evil wolf - with a wide gaping mouth withs harp teeths, small beady eyes and cat-like ears that are turned back in aggitation. — This is a drawing by Jurij Mikuletič of a Kinie Ger.

This is a photo of a spotted quoll. A marsupial of small structure on which the Kinie Ger myth is based.

It shows a small, about rabbit-sized marsupial with a round but agile body with dense medium brown for, speckled with bright white spots all over. There is a long fur-covered tail.

Its snout is long and open wide in the photo, showing small sharp teeths. Its ears are upright and forward, and it has whiskers around its mouth and eyes.

It perches on a tree; the background is blurred. — This is a photo of a spotted quoll. A marsupial of small structure on which the Kinie Ger myth is based.

Big day for a good boy.

Its been a big day for this little guy. His family have settled down for a picnic dinner besides the lake, but for this young dog, living his best life has been just too much.

The joy tank is empty. He is down and out, and not even his favourite chew bone laying centimeters from his nose can rally any more energy.

Sleep well, little fellow.

Monochrome photo of young lab pup laying fast asleep on the grass. There are picnic chairs around him and a small plastic bone in front of his nose.

Friends in the path of the heatwave: if you’ve got laptops or power banks please make sure they are charged now. You’ll want them full in case you lose grid power and need to draw power to keep your phone topped up. #heatwave #australia

I don't know who first came up with this, but it's really hard to un-see it.

I’m looking for my next role.

I come from an 😜 / agile background - focused on fast feedback, small steps, and teams that can actually ship. I’ve worked across fintech, SaaS, cyber security, and early-stage startups, most recently as the first engineering hire helping get a product and cloud-based delivery setup off the ground.

I’m based in Canberra and open to remote roles across Australia.

Appreciate any leads or boosts.
