Well, my time has come!
Nobody needs me.
Nobody feeds me.
But I'll be singing this in my head all day today - and probably for the next week.

So ... we have a world being run by ultra-wealthy men who have never heard the word "no" and go through life doing whatever the hell they want with zero consequences. Yet nobody in power ... absolutely nobody ... is talking about the environment. They do not care. So depressing 😞

I still haven't shared all my photos from Boolcoomatta.
Here are some more yellow-footed rock-wallabies.
Can you see the baby in the pouch? 🧡

In the dim early morning light, my shutter speed wasn't fast enough to freeze the wing action, but I really like the little flick of water off this yellow rosella's tail as it took off 😊

Some sort of goanna, yes. What a gorgeous creature!

Thanks, Bill!

The wildflowers at Hattah-Kulkyne National Park were stunning - especially the massive carpets of these. Now, I don't know much about plants, but I believe these are a native plant called pig face. There were lots!

People seemed to like that earlier shot I posted of the red-rumped parrot about to have a drink at Lake Hattah. So, here's another - with his beak in the water 🙂
