Guess who forgot to pack their tripod and ultra-wide lens?

So this is two 35mm shots with the camera balanced on a stool, held up on an angle with my phone (on its side) and the phone stand for the higher angle, then stitched in Lightroom.

Not great by any means, but who can resist a bit of milky way when you're in a dark area?

We had some hopeful visitors this afternoon. They were looking for free food, but we didn't have anything appropriate (bugs, skinks, small snakes).

A Juvenile #AustralianMagpie.
A #LaughingKookaburra (who was not laughing)
and a #PiedCurrawong

Sunset over the Bunya Pines.

Shot from the veranda as the last light disappeared.

It's mostly overcast today, so the Red-necked Wallabies are out grazing during the day.

The first one was just across the road from where we are staying, the other three further down the road.

UPDATE: I've since been told the two bottom wallabies are Black-Striped Wallabies. (they have a black stripe on their back and the red fur extends to the arms)

We are at Bottle Tree Bluff.

Presumably named ironically for the total lack of bottle trees.

Met this handsome fellow on our walk this afternoon.

It's a Lace Monitor (colloquially also known as a Goanna).

Oh, forgot to post the view from the lookout on this mornings walk. Looking roughly south west over the plains.

We have lunched on croissants with garlic mettwurst and mersey valley ploughman cheese with salad, and have selected another track to go for a post-lunch wander.
