G'day Tony
Thanks for your kind words.
...Your paper bark tree works alot like our Birch tree.:thumbup:
Yes it appears to. I have in the past described it as our Aussie version of Birch bark.
G'day PJ
...butter + fish + bbq =
.....
Add a squeeze of lemon, and you've got my favourite way of eating fish.
When they are done this way in foil, the fish steams and the meat falls off the bones
G'day Brian
.....I wish I could spend our winter in Oz.. I don't suppose you'd be up to adopting a somewhat ...older kid would you
. Those kookaburras are some cool looking birds, they remind me a bit of our Kingfisher. A friend sent me pics of his son feeding one on there holiday trip.
If you ever get over here to visit your friend in Penrith, let me know as I'm only a couple of hours +/- away. You & your family would be welcome to stay with us
Your right about our Kookaburras looking like Kingfishers as they are a member of the Kingfisher family. IIRC, its the largest member of that family.
G'day Beef
.... Those lorikeets are so full of personality aren't they? Jumping round with their constant chatter.

G'day Glock
That halibut is undersized!!!!!!
??????
The picture is of a flounder, which here in NSW has a minimum size of 25 cm (10 inches). Listen to my sons words on the video when he asks if the flathead he has caught is a keeper. I tell him it's not cause it's too small. As well as the ability to catch fish, one of the things I am
also stressing to my kids is the rules that govern fishing here & to return undersized (& in the case of some species, oversized fish). I can assure you that I only keep legal size fish :thumbup::thumbup:
G'day Marion
Glad you like the pics
G'day Joe
I love me some Australia. Your post just gets the blood boiling with wanton travel. Talk about one of the most unusual "animals gone wild" places in the world. Some day I hope I'm blessed enough to come over there and share similar experiences that you have done. Thanks for the post
The uniqueness of Australia's Flora & Fauna has resulted from 10's of millions of years of seperation from any other landmass in the world.
It really gave Mother nature the chance to experiment without interference from any of her other "children".
Knowing your interest in reptiles & the Great Outdoors, IMO Australia would be well worth a visit :thumbup:
Kind regards
Mick
