Welcome to BushNotes: first entry in the field journal

· One min read

BushNotes author

Every good field notebook starts the same way: a blank first page, a sharp pencil, and no idea yet what will be worth recording. This is that page.

Journal pages with banksia, honeyeater, and fountain pen

BushNotes has two halves that share one notebook:

  • The docs are the pressed specimens — structured guides and reference material, kept tidy and findable.
  • The blog is the journal proper — observations from the field, work in progress, things that surprised us, and the occasional wrong turn worth writing down.

How entries get made​

Posts live alongside the docs in the same Git repository. Add a Markdown/MDX file to site/blog, or write visually in the CMS at /admin — either way the entry becomes a commit, and the site rebuilds itself.

Tags, authors, and the RSS feed all work out of the box, so you can follow along however suits you.
