Hi all, Here are a few more photos taken in Australia. I've been living and happy to say working in Melbourne for over two months now and am settled in nicely. Must admit to missing the Hayley concerts though... still hopefully I won't have to wait too long before seeing her again! Bit of a wildlife theme for these photos, enjoy!  The mall in Darwin where I spent a few days back in June and again recently  Me and a young Wallaby! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif Standing in front of a termite mound, these structures are huge!!  A most upstanding yellow-eyed pelican (I think) in Adelaide  An Emu (may have already posted this one) And a few more... |

Taken at Melbourne Zoo...  A Wombat  And again!  Zebras, beautiful animals in my opinion  Don't make him angry!! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif  And finally, a recent spectacular sunset taken from my apartment in Melbourne  If anyone thinks these would be more appropriate posted in the "going to Australia" thread feel free to move them. Best wishes David  |

Hello everyone and thank you David for your latest contribution from Australia. Here are a couple I took the other evening when a neighbour had a rather smokey bonfire. Best wishes Grant |

Hi Grant, Great photos. But . . . are you sure their house wasn't on fire. That is a lot of smoke. . . . Here are a couple I took the other evening when a neighbour had a rather smokey bonfire. Bill |

Hi Bill Hi Grant, Great photos. But . . . are you sure their house wasn't on fire. That is a lot of smoke. Bill No, the house is still standing! I was working on my computer when I smelled the smoke and looked out of my bedroom window. First thought was to go complain but then my photographer's head kicked in and I photographed the scene instead!  Best wishes Grant |

Hi photographers! Stunning pics from your time Down Under, David! Glad that it's going well for ya! Hi Grant...I was going to say "nice pic of the foggy morning" but it was really smoke ! Does he from next door always burn like that  Thanks for sharing your pics, Ross! It looked like a lovely day! Enjoy the warm weather! Here in Pennsylvania, some of the maple trees' leaves are beginning to change color, and there is a touch of autumn in the air! Cheers all, Joe |

Hi Ross
Thanks for the photos.
Oh for it to be Spring again in England. The weather for the last few days has been dreadful due to the remnants of hurricane Katrina deciding to pay us a visit!

Hi Ben Fantastic views. Has the field ever become flooded? Martin Hi Martin It may look it in the picture, but the field is not right by the water edge. Just beyond the field is the Camel Trail, which, to my knowledge, has never been flooded. However, due to all the news you hear of climate change and rising tides, we may wake up one morning in the not too distant future and find we have a new place to launch our boat at the bottom of the field  Cheers Ben |

Hi Ross Thanks for the photos. Oh for it to be Spring again in England. The weather for the last few days has been dreadful due to the remnants of hurricane Katrina deciding to pay us a visit! Martin Katrina? That has taken a long time to get here. It hit New Orleans in 2005!!! I think the latest one was called Danny! That's the one that soaked me three times on Wednesday. Even the worst of winter is not that bad!  Martin |
