21 Oct 2012 This is one of the most amazing nights I have ever had.   At Louisa Cr beach in the sand dunes we watched a female turtle lay her 100 or so eggs in a chamber she dug in the sand and we watched her lumber her way heavily bac* to the sea.    What an incredible sight, I feel very privileged.

20 Oct 2012  Alpha our rescue lorikeet who has  stubby tail feathers and is therefore  known as a "Runner Lorikeet" and spends more time running along the ground than flying.   We popped up to Mackay to say hello to Gavin and Kelly and Jai (Tayla was at work).                             

A visit to Gavin an and kelly and Jai.

14 Oct 2012   Judy from Tai Chi is heading of to NZ for a holiday and I'm looking after her chooks and peacocks, which will be a lovely thing to do,  unfortunately a dingo got one of Judy's female white peacocks and that one had to be disposed of, a terrible incident, but thank goodness, Judy understood.

2 Sept 2012 - Cousin Neil and his Yamaha, Louisa Creek beach and coal terminal, I met the local kids who were busy building a sand cave, next below is my little possum who's name should be Uniform if I was to follow my own ruling of using the phonetic alphabet for my rescued wildlife, but as Uniform is a bit of a strange name, we decided on V for Victor instead, but then found Victor to be a girl so we had to then change her name to Victoria, as you do?

Good sign

The land beside us, very handy for my critters.
