There are no Kangaroos Down Under!?

Great birding shots again showing us all the other kinds of birds we don't here. My fav one is the Blue Winged Kookaburra.

Haven't forgotten that this isn't finished. The second last leg of our journey:

15 to 18 August - Sydney to Jervis Bay to Sydney

The forecast for those days had been bad. To some extend I was mad about it, but then again we would finally get to meet our Oz friends again
and I was so much looking forward to that, knowing that in bad weather we would be holed up and find a lot of time to catch up on the past
2.5 years.

The way down was still most enjoyable with sunshine and a beautiful coastline:

Got some wildlife as well en route...

Australian Magpie


Humpback whale - very far off, but the only really breeching one we ever saw.

When we arrived at the guesthouse, our friends - melou, her dad and his SO had already moved in.
It was an emotional reunion and it felt so good! melou had organized a very special treat
for us



Not only had melou gone through the ordeal of having our favourite-in-common SA tipple shipped to Oz,
the Esky also never seemed to run low on the stuff in there.

By late afternoon the clouds got thicker and thicker and we decided that we would have to take our maybe only chance to enjoy a sundowner at the beach.
Not a bad view to enjoy a beer with:



We also had visitors in the air.

Square Tailed Kite

Great pics Mel. Love all the scenery, but the eagle is a belter.

That last pic makes me want to go to the beach with a beer or two to watch a sunset. Not going to happen here for a while though.
