    On my last night in this hostel in Agnes Waters here, I finally see it, though rushed the time may be, just a few minute till they removed it, is all I had, to see and photograph this large and beautiful a Australian Green Tree Frog! by: tazau Views[1123] By the pond nearby, soon after yet another ever drenching rain, in Agnes Waters, I bide my time for the few hours of light cloud and sunshine, testing my new camera, by slowly chasing dragonflies. by: tazau Views[960] During yet another heavy downpour, through yet another week of storms, roads cut off to get out of town, a praying mantis comes into the hostel, possibly to escape the flooding rain. It has one leg missing, which was somehow torn right off, a few meters away. by: tazau Views[852] After a long walk out, on the road to 1770, I took a turn and headed towards a quiet beach. I walked back quietly along the ever eroding beach, with trees uprooted all the way along, from the 3 bad storms lasting 4-10 days each, in just 5 - 6 weeks. What a difference a day or 2 makes! It wasn't just here that received 3 long bad batterings, but the majority of the Queensland an NSW east coasts! by: tazau Views[999] On my first night in Agnes Waters, I took a walk around in pitch black night, on the semi slippery path, in the hostel yard.

I met lots of along the way, out in every weather. most were small and moving fast, but this was and slow to moving, posing for my camera. by: tazau Views[1109]

    Woke up in the outback pre-dawn to a strange alien language of chattering.  We couldn’t decide if it was crickets or birds.  I went for a stroll on the rust-red desert sand.  Saw a bustard, a flock of budgies and two big red kangaroos ... Read more >
