Washing Beetles

So named because they emerge in their 1000’s in summer and are attracted to anything moving in the wind that is white. Like your washing.

Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog

I was just getting setup to mow some grass in our garden compound and bent over to pick up something that was in the way and spotted this little guy. The eastern dwarf tree frog is tiny, only 2.5cm long. Kind of lucky i saw him, because if i didnt, he would have been killed by the mower. Now he lives in among the potatoes.

Another one.

Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoo

This is the first time these guys have landed in our yard. Had them fly over lots, in quite big flocks even, but this is the first time they have landed and let me photo them.

Partial Eclipse Of The Moon

I was so unprepared for this, last minute I was rushing around trying to work out how to use my camera on manual mode. I for there in the end and got 2 shots of the partial eclipse that were ok.

Mum and the Kids.

Its pretty cool having this family of magpies living next door, they come and visit most days and do not swoop, they are ok around people, though mum, pictured on the left, will stay between you and the babies.

Shack Works

Been busy trying to get things done on my radio room. Windows now have fly screens, the security door and main door are in, the main door is being varnished, cables have been pulled though the floor, temporarily. So much yet to do, but making progress. The plan is to get the trim finished this week and get it to undercoat and have the flooring down. Need to move some stuff out here so the wife can setup her xmas tree inside. If I push hard for the next 2 weeks I could be at the point of building the desk for the starship enterprise.
