More of aus pix. long overdue =)
The lovely scenery at Seal's Rock

the reason this is in the flora and fauna series (not the scenery one which i will put up too, like dunno how long after =p) is because there is a gull in there! i was like crazy over gulls..my sis can roll her eyes and testify to that. love it when they're flying.

a simple still one. this seem to look different from others, like black beak instead of orange

spot the penguin!

they're soooooo cute.. at phillip island. too bad can't take pics of the real ones. a bit the voyeuristic looking at them mating though, purring and squealing in the night o_O and i saw one like dormant lying there for quite some time and the mate came (i cant tell which is male/female) but the other one still lay there til the mate going to walkaway only the former made some noise. then both of them recognised each other and had their happy reunion and ahem, got it on.

obviously this is a picture of millions of pink flamingoes at this cool Earth from Above exhibition by the River Terrace near Federation Square, Melbourne.

the water at deloraine river was so clear that you can see the duck's feet.

more duckies at some park near launceston

love this picture, wanted to catch the ducks in flight but too slow. nonetheless, the glistening water made up for it

omg the black swan look so evil. look at its red eyes!


so funny to see them on rooftops

tasmanian devil so cute right.. not like the crazy tornado creature u see on looney tunes


spot the real koala lol


now spot which is the wallaby which is the kangaroo. answer at bottom of post.


poor caged animals at the zoo.. its conditions not very optimal


another animal peculiar to australia- the wombat
i just like taking flowers and plants so much since they're still subjects.
there's a lot of hardy plants which i can't name while trekking thru cradle mountain. this is one of them. i don't even know whether i tilted the photo to the correct angle it was taken!

it looks like some horrid insect nest, no?

a more pleasing to the eye shot of this beautiful, nameless flower. im no botanist

more glistening water

there was a dry spell in tasmania, saw a lot of dead trees. not unlike that of Gondor.

maomao tree

looks like walnut

maomao flower. hahaha i make such a bad namegiver.

finer maomao flower --they look like what i imagine dandelions to be

yellow flower. so the stating the obvious

weird shaped trees.. like some science experiment- phototropism

oh and i love this picture too. the cobwebs look so fine and delicate.
ans: the top one is the kangaroo, the bottom is the wallaby (can you see its young?) a wallaby is just a smaller sized kangaroo. like its height reaches my waist?
1st prize is a dSLR. omg.. so want one!
