The sunsets out here have been absolutely magical. Today it’s been hazy, so the sun seems very red as it sets on the horizon. Today, I think I saw what some of the birds of prey were that I’ve been seeing around. I think there’s a Nankeen Kestrel, and a Brown Kite. I also saw […]
Day 324 – Maggie Bench
It looks very different out here this morning. It’s all misty. The sun is trying to rise behind some trees on the hills to the east. I can see a faint glow on the horizon. But it feels warm, so you can tell it’s going to be another hot day.
Day 323 – Maggie Bench
Sunrise at the Bench. On one hand I didn’t feel like getting up so early, but on the other hand I wanted to see to see what it was like out here early at least once. There’s mist in the valleys and it’s so lovely. The colours are soft pink morning colours and the parrots […]
Day 322 – Maggie Bench
What an utterly wonderful Bench. Every direction I look there is another beautiful view. The sunset light is making everything golden, and a steady stream of birds seem to come to these two old trees. They are magnificent. So far, I’ve seen a Black Faced Cuckoo-shrike, the south eastern form of the Striated Pardalote, a […]
Day 321 – Murchison Bench
Murchison Gap Lookout. The view is fantastic, and they’ve put this Bench here. It felt like it was just for me, and I needed a photo of it. I could live happily with a view like this. I could look at it endlessly. I love how the mountains in the distance go to different shades […]
Day 320 – Back Deck Bench
Just admiring the beautiful fresh green leaves on the peach tree. Sitting in the sun. There’s Rainbow Lorikeets, Crows and Corellas. The Wrens were here earlier too.
Day 319 – The Stables Bench Two
Another Bench under the same oak tree. They are both beautiful. The sheep are right next door today. There’s a warm breeze. The Black Cockatoos have been around all day yesterday and today. I love it.
Day 318 – The Stables Bench One
A new bench. It’s very windy. This bench is underneath an oak tree. It has Black Cockatoos flying over to the dam behind it and a view of a wind farm in the distance. I also saw two Kookaburras up at the dam, and there’s a family of Superb Wrens in the bushes beside the […]
Day 317 – Private Bench
The whole flock is here! There are white birds swooping everywhere. There are white feathers all over the ground. And there is one Corella sitting unusually quietly above me. I’m going to take a photo of him.
Day 316 – Other Side Bench
Well, today’s the day. The moment I’ve been waiting for for months – to be able to cross the causeway to get to the other side easily. The river’s now around 60 centimetres deep. There is bugs everywhere though. Trillions of them.
