The thing I miss most about Australia when I'm not here is the magnificent bird noises - so loud and expressive. No surprise that 2 of my 3 votes for Australia's Favourite Animal Sound are birds: magpie and black cockatoo. My other vote is the poddlebonk because they sound like lovely hot summer nights to me

Lesson for all of us from Costa Rica in how it is actually relatively quick and easy to restore deforested land and endangered animal populations, with progressive thinking and a Govt prepared to listen to sense rather than big industry and cronies.

One of the residents on the land we are staying on is not too sure about our presence.

This photo is taken on the unceded lands of the Garumga Clan of the Dalla Tribe.

Found an injured baby possum (nose to bum maybe 15-20cm) in daughters back garden earlier today. Possibly fallen out of a tree.

Had an injured back leg and bloody tail but was alert and hobbling. Managed to chuck a towel gently over it and get it into a box (it bit me in the process). Took it to the vet who later said they'd had to euthanase it.

Wondering if vets just do that anyway? Should i have tried RSPCA?

Just saw a shadow move towards our fig tree grove from a distance, went closer to investigate and eventually found this specimen high up in the branches! 🦎 No wonder the birds were sounding the alarm! 🚨 This beautiful Goanna could easily empty their nests πŸͺΊπŸ”œπŸͺΉ check out how they wrap their long tail around the tree for balance; from head to tail I'd guess this one to be approximately 1.8m long. Beauty! 🀠 (Where is a DSLR with a decent zoom lens when I need it... πŸ™ˆ)

Day 6: Mouse for and
This is a spinifex hopping mouse from central Australia. It generally lives in tunnels about a metre underground. They have really amazing kidneys that save nearly all the moisture so their urine is solid.
Painted in a concertina watercolour journal that I made myself. The paper is 300gsm hot press, 100% cotton by Boahong.

My post.
These are a few of my favourite things! I spend a lot of time transporting kids to sports, and volunteering at these sports, organising though, not coaching! Love reading, aim to read 50 books each year. I get a lot of satisfaction from volunteering locally and working on regional agricultural statistics. We have travelled a lot through WA and love finding new places off the beaten track to explore. We still discover new places within 200km radius of Esperance!

Photos are random from camera roll.
