Grab your favorite pens, pencils, crayons, or markers and add some color to Bluey and Bingo's house. What's happenin' at home today? The Heeler house is a two-story Queenslander home located at the end of a cul-de-sac in a Brisbane neighborhood. It features a front yard, a back yard with a large poinciana tree, and a view of downtown Brisbane.
Knock, knock! Tell Bluey and Bingo all about where you live. Who do you live with? What is your house number? What does your front door look like? Where can you usually be found (the living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, or dining room?). Draw what you can see out your bedroom window!
Waking up and looking out the window at the beautiful shoreline is great, until the water gets a little too close for comfort…
Bryony Nierop-Reading is a UK woman who has spent years up close and personal with the effects of coastal erosion — that’s when land is lost or displaced by natural forces like waves, tides, and storms. In 2009, she bought a home on the coast. She thought it was a safe distance from the shore, but it took only 4 years until the water became unlivably close to the house.
In her new home across the road, she sees the same challenges. In fact, in just two weeks, as much as 32 feet of land were lost to the sea. That’s the length of a school bus, or the height of a 3-story building!
It’s no wonder she’s so determined to fight for awareness and action around coastal erosion, especially as task forces meant to deal with the issue are being shut down, leaving counties to handle the problem themselves.
But Bryony the Brave is determined to stay put for as long as possible. She believes living so close to the issue helps her stay informed, motivated, and ready to speak up.
