Relaxing round home

Sadly have not being doing a lot lately unless gardening and the odd short walk in the bush count. Speaking of which I have managed to see an echidna and a red bellied black snake within 5 mins walk of the house lately but did not have a camera on me for either of them.


At least four different species of parrot are silly enough to visit us fairly regularly, although I could do without the sulphur creasted cockatoos since they ate my sunflowers.


The dirty creek below the house.


Haloween, the eldest told me she was a vampire bat, but I think she meant vampire.

This little critter and its relatives are regularly patrolling the garage and clothes line.


A little dinosaur and an even smaller person.


Not overly enthused about the photo.


Brought myself a chainsaw and murdered a lot of trees, mostly not intentionally, this was a nice turpentine that split in two a couple of meters off the ground. Half of it died and the other half was looking like it wanted to take out a significant portion of the neighbours house. Luckily they have heaps of branches so it was relatively straight forward to climb it and lop off the top in sections until it was short enough to feel comfortable pulling it over with a few ropes. I then chopped it up and split it and gave it to one of the neighbours for firewood. It was probably quite good I gave it away for free as it turns out it is a pretty awful for firewood.
