Black Swan

I had never never seen a black swan before these two. Amazing.


If you look closely on the right side, you can see young swans. We saw a family of 7 on Friday 20 February.

We really enjoy the birds of Australia.


When we first arrived in Queensland, we saw these grey and rose Correllas, but we haven't seen them here on the Central Coast, until recently.

These are wild turkeys. Just strolling down the road on the way to school one day. (we were on the way to school....not the turkeys)

It was really hot and humid last week. Teachers had the air con on in the school classrooms. But this week it's been cool and overcast and rainy. Can only help the fire fighters in Victoria.

Zoe brought home a count to 5 worksheet book. One wombat, two kangaroos, three koalas, four possums, five echidnas. And a fill in the blank sheet that states: My mum ____
