Animals were the stars of today’s show, starting with a brave (and thirsty) wallaby – a wonderful introduction to Australia’s wildlife.:
An evening walk featured water dragons (lots!):
A rosella:
A lyrebird (of “car alarm” fame):
Honking frogs (no pic, and I can’t upload the audio file, but it literally honked – about every 15 – 20 seconds). A beautiful blue wren:
And… a wombat. It sat at the edge of the path with a look of “if I don’t move and don’t look at you, you won’t know I’m here”:
Our morning had started with another visit to the Three Sisters, looking rather different in the morning light:
And more Chinese. I definitely need to work on my posing:
And then the short walk to Echo Point where we saw some wonderful plants (species unknown):
Then we’d headed off:
Stopping at a lolly shop in the middle of nowhere, but clearly doing good business:

A wonderfully animal-filled day.
Random other stuff from today:
I need one of these (although, to be fair, it still wouldn’t get much use):
Stopped at the wonderful little “Yellow Deli” who have nailed interior design – people like corners, nooks and crannies and this place is full of them:
