Australia Photo ~ Bush Stone Curlews, Queensland, Australia If you hear a mournful wailing sound in the night, these are the birds responsible for the eerie call. Curlews are nocturnal ground feeding birds, which during the day shelter where their plummage will best camouflage them. This family of birds have taken to resting in the grass just outside our […]
Australia Photo ~ Kookaburra This Kookaburra flew ahead of me as I walked through the shady glady gum tree woodland this week. “Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree, Eating all the gum drops he can see. Laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra Gay your life must be!” “Kookaburra sits on the electric wire, Jumping up and down, […]

I spotted this out of the window… “What?” You may ask! A Masked Lapwing (also known as a Masked Plover or the Spur Winged Plover ~ Vanellus miles) So I took a closer look (when the bird had gone for a walk) and look what she was sitting on 🙂 Then, a few days later – on […]
With the coming of the school holidays here in Australia and their associated car trips with children, to help alleviate the ‘Are we there yet?‘s, I’ve created an Eye Spy game with the aid of either of our maps ~ the Map Journal, which is A2 size, or a little Mail-It Map that is A3 size. […]
What is this woman doing – Walking along with a stick held aloft? 🙂 … Water divining? Nope ~ Just out for a leisurely evening stroll in the bush 😀 But it can be spoilt when unknowingly one walks into one of these! Spiders in Australia A spider draped across my path waiting for dinner to drop […]
