From the Park Bench

We’re here watching the Australian fur seal colony at Seal Bay. We’re on the boardwalk and there’s a little baby and his mother about two and a half metres from the Bench. They are so gorgeous. We saw this baby drinking milk before and now they’re both taking a nap on the sand dunes.

We slept last night to the sound of the ocean. The water is so clear and blue. On the way to the Bench there was Hooded Plover footprints in the sand. It’s overcast today, but there’s one hole in the clouds, and it’s making a beautiful spotlight onto part of the mainland.

There’s no Bench here, just the softest whitest sand and the clearest bluest water. It is so beautiful. Antechamber Bay Beach. It’s meant to rain the next few days though so it might not stay so beautiful.

We’re at the Mt Loft Botanic Gardens. I just saw really tiny little Eurasian Coot babies for the first time. They were so young, they still had the orange yellow feathers around their faces. These gardens are so beautiful, I’m going to have to put in more photos of flowers and a Bench. There’s so […]

It is windy down by the river today. The willow trees’ branches are swaying in the wind above the Bench.

Sunset on the river, on our own private little jetty. We’ve been here before and loved it, so we came back. All the Welcome Swallows are darting around catching mosquitoes.

We stopped to take a a break on our road trip. Already the bird songs are different. My son spotted this little Bearded Dragon. He’s sun baking beside a hole. I wonder if the hole is where he lives?

I’m over the other side of the Lily Pond today. There’s some lilies quite close to the edge that I want to take photo of. A White-faced Heron just flew over. That’s what I can hear. There’s a lot of birds around today. The Kookaburras were laughing before, and the Blue Wrens are standing on […]

I’ve put in a couple huge days at work lately. So it feels so good to sit on the Bench. I’ve been trying to tidy things up at work before I go away on holidays in a couple days. I’m very excited. I’m going to post from some exciting new Benches. Private Bench is covered […]

It’s a warm morning, and because it’s so warm the sun has heated up all the pine needles making them release their smell. It also smells like dandelions out here today. I had to take a photo of this field of dandelions, even though they are weeds not wildflowers.
