Barron River wet season mode, love it. I think I'll take the camera to work tomorrow. I remember the wet seasons in Tully, man, when it rained, it really rained. The Tully caravan park was surrounded by cyclone wire fence so the crocs couldn't get in.

Yeah bro I miss being in the wet season with a cyclone or two hanging out in the sea off the coast, it really is a lifestyle I miss.

No fauna or flora in this pic, I'm just a sucker for beautiful sunsets.

FERAL ANIMALS OF AUSTRALIA

FERAL ANIMALS OF AUSTRALIA

Despite all the weird and wonderful animals in this country feral animals are a threat to them.

2 TRAPPED FERAL CATS. THESE CATS KILL NATIVE BIRDS, MARSUPIALS, REPTILES.

I put them down humanely. With a bullet in the head. This is the recommended way to deal with these cats. In the traps they are crazy, completely wild feral animals. I DON'T WANT THEM HERE ANY MORE.
