We don’t usually see Wallaroos around the house, they’re usually found a kilometre to the east where the country is more open, but this male (males are darker than females) came to visit for a short time.

The Red-necked Wallabies have become relatively common around the house. They’ve supplanted the Eastern Grey Kangaroo to a large extent though, perhaps, this is just a seasonal adjustment and the Greys will return. But, for the time being, with the Red-neckeds being less common, it’s a pleasure to have them around.

Joey in pouch sneaks a look at the camera while Mum stays alert looking out for trouble. They don’t seem to mind too much as I pass them with the dogs (on leash).

I found this tiny chap hopping around the kitchen floor. He was gently ejected to live another day (before the puppy started playing with him).

Early evening approaches, the sun sets, the light turns to flat gray.

Three of Sydney’s icons: Luna Park in the foreground, the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the middle ground, and Circular Quay to the rear behind the bridge.

On a business trip to Sydney I booked into a hotel, sight unseen. This was the view I got at sunset.

… and the room vibrated as trains passed underneath the hotel!

Koalas aren’t uncommon on the campus of the University of New England these days. They can usually be spotted by finding poo pellets under a tree, or by the number of international students congregating under that tree and taking photographs.

This image was taken from my office window.

You never know what you’ll see next on this photoblog. Today, a tiny bug. The bug was about 3 mm (0.1 inch) in length. It’s sitting on facial tissue and the fibre from which the tissue is created can be compared to give an idea of the scale.

This Eucalyptus sp. has had a hard life. Perhaps chewed several times in its life by sheep, it’s almost a dwarf specimen at only about 2m (6.5 ft) in height. It was made notable by the large flowers it produced.

The river’s been in flood again. Here, just before sunset as I drove home, it’s just below 60 cm (2 feet) above the causeway so I drove across.
