Australia - St Lawrence, Biggenden & Bunya Mountains

Perhaps St Lawrence was watching over us, at St Lawrence...

Whilst Freddie the Tree Frog was looking up at us, once we'd found him hiding under our tent

There were loads of birds we'd not seen before at Biggenden, in South Queensland
And some that we had, including these Rainbow Lorikeets

And a bird Alf Stewart was familiar with, 'Flamin' Galah!'


Going to the Bunya Mountains, a fire marshall stopped us and said, 'There's a bushfire crossing the road further up, so you'll have to go round', as if it were the most normal thing in the world!

The view from the top of one of the peaks was well worth the climb.  We could see the earth's curvature quite clearly

Though it had started to get a bit chilly

Sometimes these Ozzies don't half exaggerate

And sometimes they're spot on, in their simplicity

We took a longer walk to see some bigger falls

Where no water was even visible!  Maybe 'Fools' should replace 'Falls'

At the campground in the mountains were more wallabies, some with joeys in toe, or pouch, rather

This mad Blue Finch type bird danced round our feet
Awww!
