Home, Sweet Home

We share our home with a number of passing visitors of the furred and feathered variety ... They're all little Aussies and love living here as much as we do. Spend a few minutes taking a flying visit around some of our favourite spots and getting to know us!

Click on the thumbnails to see a larger photo and then hit the Back button to return to this page.

To restore the resulting image to its original size, just click in the lower right-hand corner of the photo. You'll see a button with arrows on each corner. Click this and the bigger photo appears as if by magic!

	Usually, our Aussie bats only come at night, these three liked it so much they stayed for over a week!
	Two of our Australian butcher birds at the kitchen window ... the little brown one is the baby, the other its teenage sibling! Mum and Dad obviously had other things to do and left this one to babysit.
	Mum's arrived to resume her maternal duties ... that means they look cute so I'll feed them!
	OK ... this isn't for them, but is where we spend a great deal of time throughout the year.
	My glamorous office assistants who like nothing better than to sit and chat quietly when I'm working on the deck.

	Young magpie ... now what mother wouldn't want to protect a face as sweet as this?
	This is Joh, the sulphur-crested cockatoo, he doesn't live with us ... but on a pineapple plantation at Yeltukka, about three hours' drive north of Brisbane ...
	This is the view from Yeltukka!
	While I'm showing you some of the places close to home, I may as well keep going ... this is the start of the Pumicestone Passage between Bribie Island and the mainland, at Caloundra.
	This is a different waterway, showing one of our little cross-river ferries on the Brisbane River in the city.
	And one of the river CityCats -- catamarans that whizz up and down the river giving locals and visitors a great overview of the city ...
	One of the resting spots along the River Walk that goes from the city to new Farm. That's the Story Bridge, and in the mid-right you can see the floating walkway the City Council built a few years back so everyone can enjoy the waterfront, not just those lucky enough to live on it.
	If you'd like to know more about the Land Down Under, maybe so you can visit us soon or perhaps even come and stay longer and work for a while, click the button now!
	It's not all sunshine and blue skies and soft water ... Well, it is sunshine and blue skies, but Phillip Island (on the Victorian coast) can get a bit wild at times. These seagulls were having fun trying to fly level with us.
	While we're in Victoria, this is the view up the drive of Rippon Lea, an historic house built in 1868 and set amidst beautiful gardens.
	Back home again, and a surf carnival held at the bottom of our street at Suttons beach.
	Not many waves for the boats here because we're protected by all the islands you can see in the background ... but lots of fun nevertheless.
	There's that button again to find out more about coming over for an extended visit!
