Updated: Oct 2, 2025

FLORA

Can you find Terry in these flowers?

FAUNA

Black swan

Galah birds

Birds feeding birds

Eastern water skink

King parrot

White Ibis. Also known here as Trash Vultures, Tip Turkeys or Bin Chickens. Not the best pic but they don’t deserve better a shot.

Quills are the best I could do for this a photo of an echidna.

Flying foxes along one of our walks. Not just top right, but centre left...and everywhere else too.

Crikey! What lives in that?! It’s bigger than a Coleman cooler. We didn’t wait around to find out.

FOOD

Terry’s continued search for the best eggs Benedict.

Sandy’s search isn’t as challenging!

Terry’s bday dinner. Duck and one (just one) sesame encrusted carrot! Worth every penny.

Had a good time at a dumpling cooking class.

This iced coffee included ice cream, a couple of marshmallows and a bit of fairy floss (aka cotton candy)..oh, and a beaker of coffee. Delicious!

FUNNY

In the words of Darwin, “Holy fish taco”!

Heavenly gelato. Messina is the best ice cream shop in town.

They look harmless, right?

Yes.

Schnitzel nuggets, yup. They’re good, real good.

Cows in a trees!

FESTIVE

Tibb’s Eve (Dec 23) Usually lobster but it was sushi this year, with a bottle of Lobster Reef wine!
