Downtown Townsville.

A cramped part of the city at dawn.

Beauty and The Beast.

I have always thought cane toads were ugly, but didn't realise quite how ugly until I saw it next to a frog.

Messy Frog.

There are heaps of frogs on the verandah at work after the rain we had the other day, so I guess I had better be on snake alert!

Corellas Before The Storm.

These birds have a tendency of arriving very noisily before a storm. I think they look great with the black background.

Rain For Us?

This is part of the storm that delivered 12mm of rain, the first we've had in months!

Side View.

Lorikeets are hard to spot when they're feeding on these flowering gums.

Water Mushroom.

This is in the local park, and it's just as well we don't have strict water restrictions.

Full Lorikeet.

I was lucky to catch this bloke sitting still for more than 2 seconds.

The Outhouse.

Part of the derelict old house we came across the other day.

Side View.

A side view of the Cambridge ruins, built around 1860.

Lorikeet.

These are the noisy hooligans of the parrot family.

Time Expired.

This is part of an old tumbled down house we came across on one of our drives the other night.

Take Off.

We disturbed this little family group as we drove past.

Another Landscape.

It always amazes me how quickly the countryside changes around here.
