Frank Fisher, who died earlier this year, was an inspiration to many people, an environmental educator committed to ‘social transformation to a more sensitive self-aware world’. Among other things he was professor in the National Centre for Sustainability, Swinburn University of Technology, Melbourne.

Frank established The Understandascope in 2005, the name coming from cartoonist Michael Leunig’s cartoon. It was relaunched this year as a website www.understandascope.org – to continue Frank Fisher’s vision of ‘a more circumspect, humble and considerate society, increasingly sensitive and responsive to the consequences of our actions upon each other and the rest of nature’.

The Understandascope has launched an ebook Everyday Transcendence: the influence of Frank Fisher. Discover Frank Fisher and a link to download the ebook here.

Frank Fisher was a committed cyclist. Here is one cartoon from the ebook.

Native Australian bees have blue stripes on their back ends – not yellow. Now I know!

This artwork is for a large (3m x 3.5m) panel in the Natural Resource Management’s interactive display at the Adelaide Show this week.

The display includes recordings of the sounds of various native creatures and visitors will match each sound with a creature in the picture. The spider will be tricky.
