These lovely birds were regular seasonal visitors, returning each year to nest in a nearby wattle tree. They sang beautifully, though it doesn't show in the photo. :)

The long-tailed parrots come in a spectrum of varieties. This particular version is found in the Eyre Peninsula area. An old shot, copied across from the other site.

Where there are fish in Australia, there almost certainly are Australian Pelicans! Another shot copied across from the other site.

These large birds, also known as Sulphur-crested cockatoos, were common visitors. They become quite tame (and often are kept as pets) but can be very destructive.

When we lived in the mountains, it was difficult photographing these little thornbills: not only were they small, but they rarely sat long enough, constantly flitting. Fortunately they were nearly always around, so there were plenty of opportunities.

Brush Wattlebird enjoying a meal of nectar from a Banksia flower spike. With the Pentax, the focal length needs to be entered for manual lenses - I forgot to change it for this shot with the 100mm from earlier use with a 50mm, hence the wrong FL shown in the EXIF info.

Contrary to appearances, the galah is not attacking the rainbow lorikeet, just the opposite. The lorikeet has dived in at high speed, making the galah leap backwards from the feeder. Lorikeets are often very aggressive when food is involved.

Overcoming its surprise, the larger galah tries to stand its ground against the rainbow lorikeet. But it's game, set and match when a moment later a second lorikeet arrives (see Shot #4).

One of a family of galahs that regularly come to our bird feeder. This one was kindly posing for the camera until, to its surprise and mine, a hungry rainbow lorikeet arrived (next shot).

I've rummaged through old papers and found this route map we used during our 1966 trip. The mountains had been aerially photographed in the 1950s-early 60s: our job was to accurately map their locations. The insert on the newer background map (1989) shows our route and the peaks mapped

Upstream from Luang Prabang there is an impressive view across the Mekong River to the village of Pak Ou from the caves of that name. In the caves there are huge numbers of Buddha statues - some extremely old.

Luang Prabang was one of the provincial capitals in French Indochina. The old "Indochine" is still easily found in many of the old colonial style buildings in this lovely World Heritage listed town.

This New Holland honeyeater was eating nectar from these neighbouring shrubs. I was bemused by the orange patch on its forehead until I realised it is pollen. RMC Tokina 200/3.5 + Kenko X1.4 TC.
