These are all delightful shots! I love the Sulphur Crested Cockatoo in particular.
Thanks, Carol! I had one as a pet when I was stationed in the Philippines. Loved that bird!! Very active and smart.

Beautiful and interesting set Keith, those Galahs are gorgeous parrots. We saw quite a lot of them when we visited Australia. 
Thanks, Sylvia. Yes, they are gorgeous. I like them a lot!

Thanks very much, texan. I appreciate it! Did you see the short (very short) story I wrote for a SWFeral Post concerning the life of sentient trees?
Yeah, that was my main interest going to Australia. The birds.

No I didn't see the story...I will see if I can find it.

The Kangaroo has a baby in her pouch. The baby is exploring the outside world, sticking his hand out into the breeze.
The Koala spent the morning in a rain downpour and looks like it.
My favorites are the birds. The Galah's are the pink and grey parrots.
The last is a Sulfur Crested Cockatoo.
The big red eyed guy is an Emu.
I hope you like them as much as I do!

Thank you. Brought back wonderful memories of my visits to Australia. Went to Sydney, Brisbane (saw a day of the Ashes test [Slater c & b Gooch 176]), Ayres Rock (I guess it has changed its name), Darwin (for the parks with the rock pictures, Lightning Man, etc.), Alice Springs, the Great Barrier Reef, etc. Still mean to go back again.

You're very welcome. Went to Brisbane, Cairnes; dove the Great Barrier Reef, Darwin, Melbourne and on to NZ. I went especially for the birds, but my wife and I are both divers so the Great Barrier Reef was really something special. It was a great trip but not nearly long enough. And we both would very much like to go again!

I don't dive. However, my wife and I went snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef. Those days one could climb Ayres Rock, which we did. Enjoyed the drive from Ayres Rock to Alice Springs. On the next trip we took the train from Brisbane to Cairnes. I love train journeys, and I promise myself that I will do one from, is it Adelaide to Perth? The long one.
Also went to New Zealand (my elder brother was a cardiologist, now retired, in Christchurch). Took the Trans-Alpine Express to Greymouth, and was absolutely stunned by the variety of the scenery and vegetation one passed through. We saw a fair number of kangaroos on the journey between Brisbane and Cairnes and, of course, in the various zoos that we visited.
Loved your pictures. Keep them coming!
