Some flora and fauna along the way ....


Here is another mosaic ....
We were amazed at the wildflowers and wild life we saw beside the road.
1. Firstly a great herd of jersey cattle down near Narooma - one for the Cows!
2. Wild daisies - I thought they were everlastings until I got up close and personal.
3. Do you like butter? I LOVE buttercups.....
4. The elusive Blue Wren - I managed to capture this one before he flitted away. He was on the boardwalk railing on the common in Sale.
5. Cool fungae - growning on the side of a post beside the STEPS on the way down to Erskine Falls
6. Fire Weed - I pull it out whenever I see it near home - poisonous to stock. Growing in the regeneration area near the Apostles.
7. We saw several echidna's snacking on ants in the sandy soil. This fellow was nicely placed amongst the gazannias at the lookout at Peterborough. We watched him for ages and took one or two photos!
8. Spotted this swan on her nest in a dam by the road - make a U Turn now says Alice!
9. And lastly the day before Rememberance Day - a Flanders Poppy in a garden plot outside an RSL Club at Colac
Now to organise the other 600 or so photo's.
