    Such striking blue eyes, and their feathers black, sometimes a giving deep shiny blue appearance. Male bowerbirds weave intricate display areas (bowers) out of twigs and decorate their bowers with blue objects to attract a potential mate. : by angieharris, Views[757]
         		 Clicking sounds along with the courtship dance, the bowerbird fans and flaps her wings and tail moving in an up and down motion, it was an impressive show to watch alongside with the male satin bowerbird.: by angieharris, Views[1010]
         		 Bowerbirds are very closely related to birds of paradise. This female satin bowerbird is decorating around the outside of the bower with an arrangement of blue artifacts such as bottle tops, hairties, lego, drinking straws, pegs and a variety of plastic objects preparing to attract the male bowerbird.: by angieharris, Views[356]

         		 A hotspot for family outings, the harbour is filled with all kinds of quirky characters. Bella the loving border collie lives to fetch you sticks, just try not to be intimidated by her cattle dog snarl when you pick them up to throw them!: by dallasjay, Views[320]
         		 It sparks great curiosity in me that even in an environment so distinctively redesigned by man you can still feel encompassed by nature. Seagulls have successfully adapted to human alteration of their environment, unfortunately this is a feat not many species can achieve.: by dallasjay, Views[300]
     
    No matter the weather, you will always find life in the harbour. This man agreed that morning walks following a stormy night offer serenity and revitalisation.: by dallasjay, Views[304]
         		 Although constructed to act as a safe haven for this tangled web of sails, the harbour has so much more to offer. People have capitalised on this with their coastal lifestyle.: by dallasjay, Views[333]
         		 4. The yard at where they stop the trains after the last trip for the day. Brendan is finishing his final inspections on the train. Many locomotives in the yard are no longer used because of the unavailability of crucial parts or it is simply not cost effective. Once the examinations are completed the crew leaves and the station is shut down. The steam rail awaiting for its next journey and taking the guests to experience a glimpse of a bygone era. There are other locomotives such as the D3 639 which are not in service anymore because of strict rules or needs to be fixed. People like Brendan is their last chance.: by thebookoftravel, Views[439]
         		 3. Brendan doing his routine procedures on the J515 locomotive once the train is stopped at Maldon station. He does this for all the trains after each journeys and he is very experienced in this profession. One look at his hands, you realize this man knows the steam rail inside out. He is very passionate about the rail system and knows all the trains and their history by heart. Brendan and his colleagues work hard to put the train running as much as possible so more guests can enjoy the journey. Their motivation stems from the love of steam trains and the joy of customers.: by thebookoftravel, Views[760]
         		 2. Meet Brendan, he is “the” mechanic, loco pilot, tester, fitter and everything else to these steam trains. I met him at the station once the train was halted. He explained the various mechanisms of the steam train and how the steam engine functions. The station has a huge garage nearby where the maintenance of trains is carried out. With the reduction in government support the future of steam rail is up to people like brendan and his co workers. : by thebookoftravel, Views[549]
     
    1. The steam train J515 is approaching Maldon station, Vulcan Foundry built this locomotive J515 in 1954 and it is currently loaned from Seymour Railway heritage centre. The rail operates between maldon and castlemain stations, which are part of the broad gauge rail line called the Victorian Goldfields Railway. Opened by the end of 19th century spanning 17km in length, this rail line is a direct link to the gold rush period. : by thebookoftravel, Views[1261]

         		 Flourishing 'Traveller's Palm' in the east still abundant with water. A Jurassic rainforest on highly deformed rocks thought to have reached over 900 C during the amalgamation of Gondwana around 580 million years ago. : by sapphirine, Views[443]
         		 Ferry number 9 and the trade of diesel for right of passage. Small children swim in the water but adults are afraid and hold on tightly to the car. : by sapphirine, Views[256]
     
    The eastern escarpment of Madagascar and the beginning of an expansive plateau. The rocks of these mountains are shared with India, having only broken off from Madagascar approximately 65 million years ago. : by sapphirine, Views[344]
         		 Bondi Beach, Sydney. Don't know why my camera switches to black and white every so often. Can't tell in bright light if it's b&w or color. : by lipowcan8, Views[386]
         		 Took a bunch of pictures of the Opera House, quite stunning.: by lipowcan8, Views[289]
         		 Gotta be the best money in the world, colorful and made of paper/plastic so it doesn't get beat up like other currencies.: by lipowcan8, Views[323]
         		 Quite a shock to walk out of the Sydney airport and see a Christmas tree. Between time passing so quickly and being in non Christian countries it really surprised me.: by lipowcan8, Views[441]
     
    I also play a lot in my own backyard. One day, a stranger comes into the yard. Fiona says it's a goanna. It stays for awhile. : by fionachan, Views[471]

         		 Lean with me. : by jonathanmccaffrey, Views[390]
         		 A gift is given. Casually pacing through the mall, a vibrant yellow movement flickers far off in the direction of my path. I immediately recognise the need for her portrait. Learning from past mistakes, I approach my subject head on. Observing me struggle while determining my shutter, Mary’s persona subsides, allowing me to capture truth. : by jonathanmccaffrey, Views[477]
         		 Innocence strikes. Spring flare ‘14 is Brisbane’s attempt to acknowledge and celebrate Holi; the ancient Hindu festival of colours. It succeeded. Never before witnessing such positivity and acceptance in a public sphere, I am driven to experience this festival a multitude of times at any given opportunity. Partaking in Holi within Varanasi would mean perfection. : by jonathanmccaffrey, Views[486]
         		 Veteran. Take your camera with you everywhere; The first lesson. When stumbling across the path of a Vietnam Veteran's march, excitement fills me. Velvia in hand, I set out to find a willing subject for a portrait. Multiple friendly declines later, my view settles upon a lone Veteran preparing towards the back of company. Conversation proceeds; He accepts.: by jonathanmccaffrey, Views[549]
     
    An Instant forever. : by jonathanmccaffrey, Views[444]
