Australian wildlife
We have a weird and wonderful wildlife here not just marsupials and thylacines (one of these is now supposedly extinct) there are quite a few feral species like pigs, goats, horses (Brumbies) even water buffalo, one can see Camels as well which along with horses helped open up this country.
Funny thing re the camels apart from them giving children and adults rides at the beach, they are also exported back to countries that we rough colonials originally bought them from, kind of a tit for tat sort of thing.
I did a slide show for anybody that’s interested of most but not all of our native animals and birds.
You will see one of three Kangaroos lazing on the grass while a fisherman wanders by; this is absolutely true of some of the Roos as it is in a wildlife nature reserve (no firearms permitted) years ago I saw some of these creatures on the south coast of NSW swimming but you had to be an early riser to see it.
The grey and pink cockatoos we call galahs and the cute fluffy birds you may think are owls are in fact Tawny frogmouths
Some whales and Pelicans are in this show I just love those whales so sit back and enjoy the show.
Comments most welcome
Hi Mick (I keep getting Mick and Mike mixed up),
ReplyDeleteYou dive too? I didn't give permission for my children to go for diving lessons when a diving program was organized for the club we were members of then, but when they were older, they went for the lessons and got certified anyway and they have been diving. Me, I am terrified of surfacing with the pick up boat/yatch nowhere in sight. I and a friend dived into the sea (swimming) from a government boat and not long after, suddenly realized we were far from the boat, and it is a good thing we were able to swim back to the boat despite the current that carried us away.
Actually here to let you know I have responded to your comment in Flock social web browser

Hi Mick (I think I am getting it correct now because I can see Mick Rogers "is simply not here" as I am typing this),
ReplyDeleteForgot about this. Whales need your help and Canon, a Japanese giant may be able to help: Petition Canon to help whales. Very easy, just do the minimum and a ready email to Canon will be sent on your behalf, unless you yourself wants to edit the message.

I think the duckbill platypus is the most interesting! There are so many of them - what a diversity.
