I thought you'd like to know that the parrots in your piccie are galahs - very common throughout this island continent (they can make a heck of a squawk too! not as melodious as a kookaburra)
hope you're having fun - this has been a particularly lovely autumn in oz - lots of rain, lots of green, now some lovely mild days ahead before winter hits...
so true about the galahs! the magpies are pleasant....and the weather has been delightful. although about the same in New Hampshire I hear. Yesterday in the 80s in March.
Hi Nancy - Looks like you are getting the full Australian experience whilst you are there. Have you seen any kangaroos yet? There is something amazing about coming upon a group of them in the wild (wallabies too) although I know a lot of farmers wouldn't agree.
wow. any sheep around? i immediately heard the kookaburra song that we sang in girl scouts!
ReplyDeletesoooo many sheep! although my camera has been a bit disappointing in properly capturing.

DeleteWhat handsome parrots and the landscape is certainly different. When I see pics of it, it always reminds me of Bryson's book In A Sunburned Country
ReplyDeletethe bird music is lovely here. But then so it is anywhere.

ReplyDeleteI have seen a few Roo heads with ears in the tall grass and yes, though fun for me to see, not so for the farmers.
DeleteWhat fun!
