So much in one day… Thanks to Alex Cearns for taking me where my favourite animals live.

Rock wallabies specialise in rugged terrain and have modified feet designed to grip rock with skin friction rather than dig into soil with large claws. There are at least fifteen species and the relationship between several of them is poorly understood. Several are endangered. This photograph was taken at a Granite Gorge, Far North Queensland.

Over the Australia Day weekend I and three buddies sea kayaked around the North end of Wilsons Promontory blissfully unaware that a few short days later this paradise would be burnt to a crisp by Victoria’s recent and devastating bushfires. This fire continues to burn as I write this (20/2/09) and has so far burnt about 30% of the park (basically all the land visible in this picture). If there is no rain soon and the winds turn from there current easterly direction to a strong northerly the entire park could easily go up. This shot was taken on the beautiful and remote Bennison Island in Corner Inlet and offers the perfect vantage point to see what is now gone (view large). The peak on the far left hand side of the frame is called The Cathedral and the fire started there after a lightning strike on the 8/2/09 exactly thirteen days after this shot was taken. The prevailing winds in this area are usually westerlies and these conditions would have resulted in a small localised blaze that would have seen the fire peter out as it hit the nearby ocean. Instead there have been uncommonly sustained easterly winds blowing up to 70km/h spreading the fire straight along the entire length of the Vereker Range (the mountain range on the horizon) and coming north to consume every bit of land between there and the coastline contained in this shot. In 2005 a back burn that reignited burnt 13% of the park, this fire fortunately has thus far avoided these particular areas but if they are re-burnt so soon after this previous fire many of the larger tree species will not have the mojo to regenerate a second time and as there seedlings have not had enough time to mature to the point of producing seed entire species could be lost from large areas. As it is the fire is currently ravaging an area that hasn’t been burnt since the terrible 1951 fires that destroyed 75% of the park. The close succession of fires back then resulted in the permanent loss of all the blue gums in the park. These huge beautiful and majestic trees were once the dominant upper story flora standing over a once open forest floor. The impenetrable tangle that now exists has made my many off track ramblings around the Prom a far more involved pursuit than was once the case. Currently there are 150 ground fire fighters one skycrane and two water bombing helicopters fighting the blaze although ground crews have been forced by the impenetrable scrub to concentrate there efforts to creating and reinforcing current containment lines. Out of interest the footprints on the beach are probably from a Black Wallaby – Wallabia bicolor who despite that huge looking expanse of water has made it to the island across the mud flats at low tide. The small knoll abutting the coast in the center of the frame is called Barry Hill and is in one of the most remote and trackless areas on the promontory. However between 1913 and 1940 this was the location of the Ranger Station at the Prom (it even had its own telegraph line). Now the Prom has easy road access this choice of location seems odd but back then the dominant mode of access was via boat across Corner Inlet from Port Welshpool. If I lived in an ideal landscape photographers world I would have unlimited time to shoot every scene in the ideal light of dawn and dusk but sometimes these criteria are impossible to organize so I do the best I can with the light available in this case late morning. The timing determined by the vagaries of tide (being in a sea kayak) and the fact that camping on the island is not allowed. Despite the less than ideal light I thought the pertinence of current events justified its inclusion. 100% of profits from this shot will go to WRAP Wildlife Rescue and Protection Incorporated which will aid the innumerable animal victims of the recent fires (I’ve put up my margin more than usual because of the donation aspect, basically it’s not worth doing unless there’s a bit of money in it for the charity).

Featured Austarlia Your Standing In It Group 21/06/09 Wallabies are part of a group called ‘macropods’, which means ‘great-footed animals’. Kangaroos are the largest members of this group. There are many different kinds of wallaby Wallabies are found in Australia, and there are different kinds of wallaby found all over the country, in all the different habitats. Like all macropods, wallabies have strong back legs with long feet. They hop on their back legs when travelling fast, using the tail as a balance. This is like bouncing on a spring. It is an energy-efficient way of travelling great distances. Their front legs are small. They are marsupials. The pouches of female wallabies, like those of other macropods, are front-opening. The pouches of some marsupials, such as wombats, are backward opening so they don’t fill with dirt when the female digs a burrow. Wallabies are smaller than kangaroos. They often eat the leaves of bushes as well as eating grass. Wallabies are active at night and rest during the day. There are three kinds of wallaby called nailtail wallabies. They have a nail-like tip to their tails, but the reason for it is not known. Nailtails are found in grassy woodlands in the northern parts of Australia. They are shy and live alone. As they hop, they move their front legs as though they are pedalling, and are nicknamed ‘organ grinder wallabies’. Some wallabies live in rocky parts of Australia. They are called rock wallabies. Their hind feet are furry to give them a better grip as they hop on rocks. Their tails are slender for better balance. Among these are the Yellow-footed rock wallaby and the Brush-tailed rock wallaby. The yellow-footed rock wallaby is grey, with yellow and orange legs,feet and arms.It has a stripy tail and a white cheek stripe. It lives in large groups. It was hunted for its fur, and has had to compete for food with feral goats and rabbits, so there are fewer of these wallabies than there were. Taken on Phillip Island Victoria Australia, it surprised us how many of these guys we saw and they obviously are used to people,quite content to sit for a few shots before going on their way !

Simpson’s Gap is located 23 km from Alice Springs in the West MacDonnell National Park. Rare Black-footed Rock-wallabies are found here and are often seen if you look hard enough at the rocks walls and tall grasses. The Simpsons Gap area incorporates large areas of Mulga and is a major stronghold for over 40 rare plants. It forms part of the MacDonnell Ranges and is located on the Larapinta Trail. Orton effect applied The area is an important spiritual site to the Arrernte Aboriginal people, where several dreaming trails and stories cross.

The Yellow-Footed Rock Wallaby: The word wallaby is from an aboriginal name given to this animal by the Eora tribe that lived around the Sydney area in the past. This Australian marsupial has to be the prettiest wallaby. It can be recognized by its gray-brown fur, lighter colored chest, orange to yellow limbs and tail, a long dark stripe from the ears to the shoulders and white stripes on its cheeks and yellow behind the ears. / Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 / / “Okay…Make My Day! ©” was featured in Art and Stories Made Fo…

My Thai wife Diew and daughter Mindy had never seen a wallaby in the wild, if you could call Pebbly Beach in southern New South Wales ‘wild’. It was a long time ago, before Steve Erwin took Bindy to see a crocodile….up close, and even before the Chamberline baby was snatched by a dingo in the outback….so I didn’t think much about it. When I rediscovered this old slide, I couldn’t resist having a bit of fun with it. Diew was a bit like..”Do these things bite?” I, of course, said something like “Nah, completely harmless.”

Oh my! I was attending the opening ceremony of our new Gateway to Wollongong ceremony this morning where these two cute Aussies from Symbio animal park were the stars. I had taken lots of photo’s, but decided on one last one before I left. Imagine my delight when they decided the show their love for one another right as I took aim. This is what right place right time is all about. / I edited out the background in photoshop as it was a glass window with lots of people refelected in it which really detracted from this cute pair / Taken with my Canion 40DSLR camera / f stop/8 / aperture-1/100 / ISO-400 / focal length -33 mm / Thanks for visiting

I watched as this ibis stole food from the wallaby and managed to get a photo of it doing so. The photo was taken at the gorge wildlife park in Adelaide, South Australia.
