Whatcha lookin’ at, kookaburra?
Posted on April 30, 2011 | No CommentsThe kookaburra watched me from the neighbour's roof and apparently decided I wasn't a threat, for it flew gracefully to the balcony rail.

HMB Endeavour in Brisbane
Posted on April 29, 2011 | No CommentsImagine our surprise as our Citycat pulled up to Riverside ferry terminal and there this beauty lies.
