Broken Hill - it begins...
This is a top pick! A drab and misty day is slowly dawning over the massive slag heaps adjacent to the rail siding at Broken Hill station, as the Indian Pacific I'm on awaits departure for the next leg of the journey to Adelaide. It's been a long trip so far, and we won't ...

A Touch of De je vu?

Revenge of the Ants
Last night the wind started to pick up, so we predicted poor weather for today. Ding! It's been windy and rainy since early morning. Although we weren’t able to go out to do group checking this morning- I was lucky enough to help bring ...
Scaring Babblers
Okay- we didn't mean to scare them out of the nest.... Yesterday we went to put up coils and check one nest that we thought had babies. It had babies *yay*. We put the ladder up next to the tree which obviously shook the branch a bit.. the poor ...
