For those who liked the Rainbow Lorrikeets.
#1 Is at a suburban cemetary.
Those are all wild birds.
A good place to shoot wild life, mostly birds, is Bicentenial Park out at Homebush Bay. Especially in the morning. The pelicans make great subjects. (Pic #2)
One the western side of Sydney is the Blue Mountains National Parks.
It is a very scenic spot and has good tourist infra stucture, although if you are willing to do a bit of hiking you can get away from it all.
Pics #3 & #4 show what to expect. Katoomba is ~101KM (66miles) from Sydmney and has a good train service. There are townships on the southern ridgelines and there are day trips, from Sydney, available which look pretty good to me (we havn't been on one)
Thanks for looking.

Which wall in your house did you hang #2 on? That is a tremendously good shot.

Wonderful pictures, and I'm sorry that this is your last post in this series. It is always great to see pictures from other countries.
