Work hasn't changed too much, I've been able to stay working with the calves for the most part, yay!
I've gone “kangaroo hunting” a couple times but haven't actually gotten a picture of a real, live kangaroo. I don't even see them until they are hopping away through the trees, I'll keep trying though! I have seen plenty of wildlife in my shack though… there's been a tick in my bedroom, slugs in the shower, hornet-sized wasps, and of course the mice… and mosquitos… and flies… but there are some nice wildlife that come to visit.
This colorful bird was in the yard, I'm pretty sure it's a wood parrot.
There's lots of strange birds around here and I don't know the differences between them all set which the kookaburras find hilarious. There's cockatoos and cockatees. There were black swans swimming in the lagoon at the farm a few weeks ago. Various ducks and geese too. Then there's these black and white birds all over.
This is what most of the landscape looks like.
Lots of sheep grazing, hills in the background, quite a few vineyards as well. If you go into the hills there's lots of trees and some nice hiking trails.
And where I failed to get pictures of kangaroos, I did manage to snap a few pictures of some wallabies! Wallabies are very similar to kangaroos but have more of a mouse-shaped face, a little smaller, and at least around here are darker colored.
Did you spot them all? There's one in each picture. Sorry for the low quality pictures but I couldn't get any closer before they jumped away and my phone doesn't take the sharpest of pictures. Guess I'll just have to go hiking again!
