The flock of gang gang cockatoos are here today. I love it! It’s a beautiful sunny morning and the sunlight is reflecting of the ripples in the water onto the trees on the bank. We saw Edward this morning.

Day 245 – Private Bench
As I was sitting here, I saw this Red Wattlebird just dive down to dip into the water. He came back three or four times. I was surprised to see him taking a bath in such deep water. In the photo, he’s just come out and he’s flying back to the tree. There’s also a […]
Day 240 – Private Bench
At Private Bench the duckling family is here and the ducklings have grown. I saw them today. There’s five of them left. They’re quite big now. They swam quickly across the river.
Day 222 – Private Bench
It’s misty this morning, but it’s a high mist and I can see the sun trying to shine through. When I got here today, I startled a family of wood ducks. They were just hiding in the bank under the Bench. There was the two parents and ten little fluffy ducklings. You can see them […]
Day 215 – Private Bench
It’s a beautiful afternoon with the ducks gliding by on the river. The river is up again. It’s quite full. It’s not around the legs of Private Bench yet though. I love it when it’s up.
Day 214 – Private Bench
Edward just cruised past up the river. He came quite close again. He hasn’t been coming as close in the last few months. In fact, he’d been kind of swimming away. Today he didn’t seem to mind me being close. He just kept on going on his way.
Day 206 – Private Bench
The Bench has clearly been underwater in the flood. I’m sitting on the back of the Bench, because the seat is now covered in a fine layer of mud which has now dried and cracked into these beautiful patterns. It looks like an aerial photo of a river.
Day 199 – Private Bench
The river is up again. It’s all the spring storms we’ve had lately. As you can see from the photo, the water is right up around the legs of the Bench. I’m sitting on the back of the Bench with my feet on the edge of the seat. I love Private Bench when the river […]
Day 190 – Private Bench
I’m not sure what to take a picture of today. It’s a bit of a grey day. It was windy earlier, but it’s calm now. There’s two Eastern Rosellas up in the tree above the Bench. I don’t usually see them here. I see them more often at the Lily Pond. I still haven’t thought […]
Day 187 – Private Bench
It’s a truly glorious, almost spring, morning. The sun is out, but the air is fresh. It’s very very breezy. Edward’s been around a lot. In the photo, he’s steaming up river, trailing a ‘V’ shaped wake behind him.
