As colourful a park as I've ever seen.
great watercolor like effect!
Photo taken just outside of Broken Hill, Australia in an area named ‘’The Sculptures’’, stark and beautiful nothing for 100 of miles excerpt wild goats, emu’s, roo’s and sheep and cattle.
I meet more relative's here they ran a ‘’cattle station’’ (Cattle ranch) which around 1,000 hexacres or 2500 acres. Had huge dinner of goat, rice, roo and assorted other goodies, sine they are aboriginal and Poms it was an interesting time to say the least and i loved it so did Red.
Our family now has another culture and race to join the tribe we now have.
We shall rule the world soon.
nice shot!
Have you ever had a chance to meet shona1 while you're in Australia? Another Australian member is Waykwabu.
I’ve not met either, Buzz. Shona is a ways south of Broken Hill, Waykwabu is in WA a couple of thousand miles west of us.
don't forget to plant a flag and claim oz for the tribe before you leave. it's worked before ...
You had better hurry up, things are getting sticky back here.
I was at first going to post a 'laughing' emoij reply, but then I realized it's not at all funny.
no shit. kav's a veteran and a NA, they might not let him back in ...
Morning Kavika..glad you had a good time with the rellies and on the station..throw in the Vegemite and we are unstoppable..
Currently I am in Queensland out Toowoomba way..has rained since Tuesday non stop and not seen the sun at all.. it's midnight and it's 26c and a bit humid..lot of water laying in the paddocks...
Have been busy spraying cane toads that infest the area..one squirt of Dettol and they are dead..
Here are some pics of the Hibiscus growing in my cousin's garden.
is that less expensive than leaving vegemite accessible on the ground?
Morning....they thrive on Vegemite...like all us Aussies..😁
those aren't the frogs you lick and then start tripping, are they?
Nah...they are the ones you lick and then you cark it..😁
Big, ugly and deadly. This is what you get when an invasive species is introduced to an area.
What is that? I can't make out what it is.
A cane toad...an introduced pest that has spread across northern Australia and slowly coming down south..
They are virtually indestructible and kill and eat native animals and plants and are extremely toxic to animals that do try and eat them..
Dettol kills them dead and when I am in Qld I do my bit to exterminate them..😁
Introduced, and no predators of it. I thought they learned the lesson from the rabbits not to screw around with the balance of Mother Nature.
Nope...they were introduced to get rid of another pest...sugar cane beatles in 1935..
Cane toads ate them and then moved on to other plants and animals..and now are in plague proportions...
bloody hell, even the pond frogs are killers in oz ...
Still...
In the dark the silence howls like a banshee
Light...
Creeps across the sky. The bringer of spring
Hear..
The bird-song I have waited for...
Spring is here!

Arvo...what a stunning colour and flower..
I can't decide whether it's blue or purple ...
Definately blue.. mother nature at her best...
Very beautiful iris - reminds me that I should shave.
Arvo...always a good feeling when you look out the window and you see the flying roo...
... at a safe distance.
Yesterday I spoke of spring,
With the birdsong and warmth that it brings.
Today the fog and cold of rain and ice,
coat the trees. But inside it's nice
april, typically the snowiest month in colorado ...
