AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

A kookaburra!!! I've never seen one - thank you for this!
And the rest of these lovely birds, I've only seen some of them in pet stores, which is so sad. I'd love to see them out in the wild. Thank you again, Gemma.

I saw rosella on a recent trip to Sydney - but as yet have not seen a Kookaburra.... sigh... That is a stunning photo - really caught the bird's focused gaze.

Ohh! Excellent birds and photos! I love them all, but i'm totally jealous of the kookaburras! What a great close up of him, really nice shots!
