Along the road
Somewhere on the "Diamantina Developmental Road" , as are the PiPs. It becomes a long way between anywhere out that way! This needs a musical link. :-)
Arriving
Pink Cockatoo (visit my previous image at PiP2 for more details) landing on a fence with a paddymelon snack. I was very pleased to capture these images, as these birds are uncommon and have recently been listed as "vulnerable". Best viewed large.
Wishing everyone a Happy Fence Friday and a great weekend.
Pink Cockatoo
The Pink Cockatoo (also known as a "Major Mitchell" cockatoo) is an uncommon resident of the dryer areas of inland Australia. It has recently been designated as "vulnerable" and I was delighted to find the pair in these images (see also PiPs). This one seems excited to have found some Paddymelons and is showing its coloured crest.
Wall art
I found this wall art (also see PiPs) in a laneway in Cunnamulla. I'm afraid I don't know who was the artist, but the approach of adding things seen in the bush is interesting (old boots!). In this main image, the bird at top right is a female Zebra Finch, while in PiP 1, the bird at lower left is a male Zebra Finch.
Picnic near the lake
This rustic picnic table and shelter are at Lake Houdraman, a very pleasant spot near Quilpie in western Queensland. See also PiP.
I've finished travels for a while and have a great many images to work through! For now, I'll wish everyone a Happy Bench Monday and a safe and enjoyable week.
Sunset in Cunnamulla
Cunnamulla is a small country town, so the streets become quiet as the sun goes down. This is in a park in the middle of town.
I'll be heading away again for a while, so best wishes everyone and have a Happy Fence Friday.
The Cunnamulla Fella
This statue of the "Cunnamulla Fella" ("fella" is Australian slang term for "fellow" / man) occupies the pride of place in a park in the middle of the town of Cunnamulla. The title comes from a country and western song (see PiPs also) and the song lyrics are based around the names of towns in western Queensland.
