As we continue our journey through our farm Craig went ofor a walk-about yesterday and got some great shots such as:
The Black Camp Creek with more water in it than it has seen in at least 5 years. The brown colour is a result of its flowing so fast.
Look very carefully and you can see the water dragon swimming away from the rock at about 11 o'clock (just to the left of the dead branch hanging down).
Wild Lilly Pilly berries:
Same again.
Looking downwards along the path of the creek.
A busy bee collecting nectar from a thistle flower. Great shot eh?
This is one of my favourite place on the farm and it shows both the cruelty and wonder of nature. That tall tree in the centre of the picture looks like it has 2 bases and meets at the top; actaully it has 3 and does join at the top. It is a strangler fig. These trees grow up around another tree in a vine like pattern and feed off that tree until it is completely strangled and dies. The original tree inside the centre of this one has long since died and we are left with this unusual looking tree. Just above where it joins into one again there is an emmense Elkhorn fern and also several huge Staghorn ferns.
Craig took this shot for the colours and lines then when we got it back to the computer we discovered a tiny female fairy wren in the picture. Can you spot her?
This little fellow is very pretty but I could not identify him as yet. As soon as I do I will edit this paragraph with the name. Told you I'd be back.......he is a Red Tailed Finch
