Girls in short pants with what appears to be water pistols, dangerous! I originally typed pistols as pistils, strange what growing does to you.

Here's some pics from the "Twisted Forest" in Murramurang national Park. The tress are spotted gums but because they are so close to the sea, they are stunted and misformed by salt and strong on-shore winds.

Oh my but this looks like a ..... lol

And some pics taken in my garden in Canberra. The raven comes down regularly.

This is my garden - my sanctuary.

Hi All, Another Aussie here.

What a great thread you guys have got going here but i feel our most important Fauna is missing.

Remember this Trifecta.

I'm sure you all do....lol

 

[Guest 26753]

And who could forget the ubiquitous Australian Magpie! The first pic says it all, and the second shows my affinity with this critter lol

 

[darwinsbulldog]

hehe yeah magpies are probably my favourite aussie bird too!

 

[Guest 26753]

Best thing about feeding Magpies is that they will never swoop you once they get to know you. I have between 50 to 100 Magpies coming down for feeding, and being the softy that I am , they get pet mince to supplement their diet which helps them through the tough Canberra winters, and increases the survival rate of juveniles.

 

[darwinsbulldog]

hehe just be careful, if they begin to rely on you too much especially if it's a learned thing over generations, they won't do as well in the wild should their food supply from you stop. how long did it take you to get them to be so friendly mate?
