         		 On occasion, a black swamp wallaby may hop out for few minutes! If lucky, one the black swamp wallabies may show up, maybe even 2 or 3! They can move fast, don't always stay long and were easily scared off! I have included an image of an older swamp wallaby here - the younger ones have a dark chocolate - black coat, but like humans, they start to grey as they get older, making this one a real senior! You are most likely to see them if you sit at your section of the campground, enjoying the peace and serenity, and they may hang around longer if you are quiet, calm and slow moving.: by taz_au, Views[236]
         		 I was lucky also to be woken by the kookaburras - which only showed up 1 or 2 of my days at camp. I loved this shot - which was one of my last shots before leaving camp, to return home! I was watching and following it, as it flew from tree to tree, for at least 60 minutes, maybe more. I loved this shot the most, as it looks like the kookaburra is an extension of the tree branch! I stood on my car bonnet, just before saying goodbye to this beautiful spot, to get this shot too, as it was high up! This is where the kookaburra stayed the longest -- The extension of a tree!: by taz_au, Views[193]
     
    On the dry mornings, it's great to go for a stroll and catch the first light and the sunrise - A different spot each day! Beautiful sunrises are only a short walk from the camp ground!: by taz_au, Views[252]
         		 The sand had a great drop about 1 foot past the beach of the bays' shelly sandy surface! On both sides of the sand, lay rockyness - often with a sea bird or two! As yo can see in this image, the of the side rockyness, on the far edge of the rocks, in the distance, sits a very calm sea bird, enjoying the views, waiting for it's next meal!: by taz_au, Views[293]
         		 Bush camping by the sea. I love the city life, i love keeping busy, i love doing different things... but... sometimes life, the real world, just gets too much, and you just need to escape! Life was getting way too busy, screwing me around in every direction, starting to make me sick. With lack of money, I found and bought a free camping directory. I thought - I have a few days free with nothing to do, time to get back to an old love - camping in nature! Why not go bush and try free camping, away from all modern technology, and live the old fashioned way for a few days! I chose to go to the free camp not far outside of Batemans Bay, NSW. It was beautiful, even more so with only 1 or 2 neighbours, who were clean a quiet, no loud noise, and the the mobile phone switched off, so no distractions! The campsite was part of Batemans Bay Marine Park .: by taz_au, Views[221]

         		 A paradise: no sign of people in a whole day. : by mambinka777, Views[215]
         		 “This is home, the biggest house in town”. A place against the store fronts under the canopy of the Queen Victoria Building, an ornate late nineteenth-century shopping complex, which fills an entire city block. Warren finishes his day around 11pm and comes here, unpacks his suitcase and makes his bed from an old foldable bed pad and few layers of threadbare blankets. He empty’s his pockets and tally’s up his earnings for the day. He takes Bronx and Gypsy for one last walk around the block before they all bed down for the night. “God put me on the street for a reason”.: by ramonandhika, Views[622]
         		 “It’s good for your heart, mind and soul”. “Living on the streets is brutal”, he said. In his first week, someone stole his bag containing all of his clothes, worldly possessions and photos. He lost the only physical reminders from his past life. Since then he’s been mugged, robbed and was almost killed by someone wielding a crowbar. Late one night, an unknown assailant hurled human feces and a bottle of urine. Through it all he remains hopeful. He has a good heart, a big heart, and he prays for all those faceless people rather than wasting time on himself. “I want to go to the Heaven of God where nobody is homeless, no rich or poor people, where everybody is happy and everyone is equal”.: by ramonandhika, Views[662]
         		 “He is not jobless, but he is homeless”. Around ten each morning Warren makes his way to Pitt Street Mall, moving to the same place he sat the day before. He begins his daily ritual of setting up shop. Around three he packs his stuff up, stows it in a safe spot before taking his dogs for a walk in Sydney’s Hyde Park. After, he retrieves his belongings and sets up in another place down on George Street.: by ramonandhika, Views[653]
     
    “They gave me back my reason to live”. That’s the love Warren has for a pair of Jack Russells, Bronx and Gypsy. He became their dad when a mate upped and moved to Queensland a couple of months back. It was the day after he’d tried to end it. He’d stood at the curb of a pedestrian crossing on George Street waiting for the very moment before a bus would pass by. He lifted his foot to take the step but a woman pulled him back by his red rucksack and saved his life. It wasn’t his first attempt. The burden of living hand to mouth on the streets is a heavy one. He’s quite optimistic now, “I was saved for a reason”.: by ramonandhika, Views[634]
         		 “An untold story on the streets of Sydney”. Sydney Australia, like any metropolis has its cracks and crevices. Hidden in behind and in between the passers-by, I happened upon Warren. He’s 56 and for the past two years he’s been living on the pockmarked inner city streets. Life was once good he tells me; an opal miner who moved into construction only to have his business partner stab him in the back leaving him with a debt to the bank for over six figures.: by ramonandhika, Views[646]
