Spent most of today at one of Al's parents properties. Yeah I said ONE OF. This one is goooorgeous!!!! I would kill to live on a place like that; right up against the bush/rainforest, plenty of birds, insects, frogs, lizards and a couple little lakes. Just lovely. I did find a Banjo frog (still no Green Tree Frogs!!!!) but it hid before I could get a shot. I did find a Cane Toad. These evil bastards are an introduced species here who do incredible damage. They were supposed to control Cane Beetle... that didn't work out so well. The rest of Australia dreads them spreading. Here they kill them by the thousands and still it seems to have no effect. We had a lovely lunch after all that, then Al and I went to Bramston Beach while his folks had a nap. Been a really nice relaxing sort of day.

Babinda Boulders :-) Guess how it got it's name.... :P

i CAN'T BELIEVE THIS SHOT WORKED OUT!!!!!! This fella was miles away, and my cam was zoomed right in

The view towards the property, it's quite large

Am a bit proud of this shot :-)

The caretaker at the property feeds the bush turkeys so they are quite friendly. This one is a male, enjoying some paw paw

We found a baby mantis..... it was ready to take Al DOWN!!!!

It was ready to take us ALL on!

These beauties were everywhere

Cane Toad. The most disgusting thing EVER and I manage to get a pretty photo of it :P

This is Jessie. She used to be Al's dog but when he couldn't keep her any more he drove her from Melb to Babinda, she's an old girl now. And yes that is a friendship bracelet around her front leg. Don't ask.
