Weekend in Walhalla I - birds

This young kookaburra was our constant companion during breakfast -

a spoonful of mince wasn't enough for him

A currawong eyeing off our breakfast

This wonga pigeon stood perfectly still in this position for so long

we weren't sure if it was real!

Nature and Decay, juxtaposed, birds and rusted out hulks in back country, both so wildly different from the other and yet both have their own beauty. Quite an eye to be able to see and convey the wonder and joy in both :D Thanks for the glimpse for those of us that cannot get to where they are...

Ace things about Melbourne

* Brunswick Street

* It has a lane named after rock band AC/DC and a swimming pool named after a Prime Minister who is believed to have drowned at sea
* Its vibrant multiculturalism
* Royal Botanic Gardens.
* Shady Caroline Street in South Yarra
* The disco balls hanging above Rankins Lane in the city
* The domed reading room of the State Library.
* The eucalyptus trees and old lamps beside the river near Fed Square.
* The huge mural spanning the length of the side wall of Dimmey's discount department store in Green Street Richmond
* The laneways, especially Degraves Street and Centre Place.
* The old terrace houses in the inner suburbs.
* The Royal and Block Arcades.
* The street art (commissioned and otherwise).
* The Victorian architecture, especially the interior of 333 Collins Street, the Olderfleet Building and the Melbourne Safe Deposit Building on Queen Street
* The view of the city at night from the Swan Street Bridge.
* The Windsor end of Chapel Street
* There's always a festival or major event happening.
