We came across this little Echidna waddling / beside a road near Bunyip, Victoria, Australia. / Any hint of movement or noise and he would / quickly bury himself.

Myrtle beech forest at Tarra Bulga State Forest, Victoria, Australia. This photo was taken up near where the Gippsland fires had burnt in Feb 2009. Luckily The park didnt really get touched bar the spot fire near the information building/rangers office. Tarra Bulga National Park surived the Black saturday fires and still stands though a few kilometres down the road it is a different story all together from the top of Mount Tassie right to the bottom of the mountain everything has been wiped out including peoples homes, farms, vechiles, communication towers, forest plantations etc.

Photograph taken at Healesville (many moons ago) on black and white infrared film and printed on black and white photosensitive paper. This shoot turned out a complete mess because I forgot to take the canister out of the camera in total darkness and thus fogged the entire roll of film. Despite the disaster, I quite like how this image turned out – grainy and fogged, it kind of has another world, another time about it.

A Strangler Fig on The Scenic Rim of Queensland’s Gold Coast The Strangler Fig is a tall canopy, widely buttressed tree which grows to 45m in height. The top of this tree spreads like an umbrella. It features light coloured bark. In the rainforest the strangler fig germinates only in the branches of a host tree from the seed deposited by birds. Many roots are sent down and they gradually envelope and strangle the host tree leaving the fig in its place. There are five species of strangler fig represented in the Park. / Leaves:Leaves are simple, large, glossy green above and paler below. Commonly betwwen 4 and 7cm in length. / Flowers: The flowers are on the inside of the fruit and are pollinated by a wasp which enters the fruit through a small hole before the fleshy part of the fruit develops. / Fruit: Fruit is large (about 3cm with a nipple on the end) decorative and tasty which means that it is relished by birds. The fig is dark purple when ripe with yellowish dots, fleshy and ovular. They are a most important food tree for birds References / Hauser, J.

Kookaburra at Sherbrooke Forest, Victoria, Australia. / Kookaburras (genus Dacelo) (or Cookaburras) are large to very large (total length 28-42 cm/11-17 in) terrestrial kingfishers native to Australia and New Guinea, the name a loanword from Wiradjuri guuguubarra. Kookaburras are best known for their unmistakable call, which is uncannily like loud, echoing human laughter — good-natured, if rather hysterical, merriment in the case of the well-known Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae); and maniacal cackling in the case of the slightly smaller Blue-winged Kookaburra (D. leachii). They are generally not closely associated with water, and can be found in habitats ranging from humid forest to arid savanna, but also in suburban and residential areas near running water and where food can be searched for easily.

Pastel painting on Black Acid Free Canson Paper using hard chalk pastels and Faber Castell pastel pencils. The magnificent Daintree Forest is located in tropical far north Queensland, Australia. This world heritage listed forest is over 135 million years old – the oldest in the world and spans 1,200 square kilometres. It is home to the highest number of plant and animal species that are rare, or threatened with extinction anywhere in the world. It surely is the most diverse and beautiful example of mother nature at its very best. “I walked alone into no man’s land / and with my eyes witnessed the beauty of nature’s hand. / Green veils of leaves and trees stood tall / Babbling sounds of water and then a bird’s call. / Standing proud surviving all time, / this magnifcent forest forever in its prime! This is just a very small part of this tranquil and magical forest. Inspiration for this painting came from my daughter’s photograph called Daintree Bliss which is just one of her many beautiful photos:tracyleephoto“ FEATURED IN: FLOTSAM AND JETSAM / IMAGE WRITING

Kookaburra at Alfred Nicholas Gardens, Mt Dandenong, Victoria, Australia. / Kookaburras are carnivorous. They will eat lizards, snakes, insects, mice and raw meat. The most social birds will accept handouts from humans and will take raw or cooked meat (even if at high temperature) from on or near open-air barbecues left unattended. They are territorial, and often live with the partly grown chicks of the previous season. They often sing as a chorus to mark their territory. Kookaburras are known to eat babies of other birds and snakes, and insects and small reptiles and even other small birds, such as finches if they are lucky enough to catch them. / The Kookaburra is the Bird Emblem of the State of New South Wales / Nikon D300, Nikkor 18-200mm ED VR

Kookaburra at Alfred Nicholas Gardens, Sherbrooke, Mt Dandenong, Victoria, Australia. / / Kookaburras make a laughing call, most often in the early morning and just before dark. The calls let other kookaburras know where each one lives. An Aboriginal legend says that the kookaburra’s laugh is a signal to the sky spirits to light the great fire, the sun, in the morning and to put it out at night. Breeding / After mating, the female kookaburra lays up to 4 eggs in a hole in a tree. The male and the female take turns to sit on the eggs until they hatch, about 25 days later. Both parents feed their chicks. Adult birds swallow food and then bring it back up again when it is mushy and feed it to the chicks. As the chicks grow they can be fed small worms or slugs or similar small food which they learn to eat like adults do. Then they have to learn how to find the food for themselves. / The young kookaburras have feathers after about one month. They leave the nest soon after that. / ~ Sydenham and Thomas, Kookaburras.

Kookaburra at Melbourne Zoo The “Laughing Kookaburra” is known by its name for its “laugh” which it uses to greet its mate after periods of absences. It can be heard at any time of day but most frequently shortly after dawn and especially when the colour drains from the forest after sunset. One bird starts with a low, hiccupping chuckle, then throws its head back in raucous laughter: often several others join in. If a rival tribe is within earshot and replies, the whole family soon gathers to fill the bush with ringing laughter. Hearing kookaburras in full voice is one of the more extraordinary experiences of the Australian bush, something even locals cannot ignore; some visitors, unless forewarned, may find their call startling. / ~ Wikipedia
