Yet another sleeping koala. I am not happy with the lighting in this photo, where the koala is in the deep shade of an orange/brown tarpaulin (which is needed to give them shelter from the rain and the sun), and the bright light background, but I can't help being amused by the way they can sleep anywhere in any position.

A dragonfly has landed and is resting on a crocodile which is floating in the water. This is a large crocodile, about sixty years old, at Hartleys Crocodile Adventures Australia. There is a sign next to the enclosure saying that the staff there call him Greg, after one of the zoo keepers, who apparently shares a similar disposition.

Balancing rocks is a fun family activity, and is popular in some parts of the world. The pile in the foreground is just begging to have more stones added to it. I enjoyed playing around with depth of field taking photos of these piles of pebbles.This popular site is next to the sea between Cairns and Port Douglas in Australia.

Tawny Frogmouths are a nocturnal Australian bird related to night jars. They remind me a little of owls and kookaburras. At the Wildlfie Habitat in Port Douglas Australia, you can get close to some of these birds without glass or wire in the way, and they don’t seem to mind.

This Yellow Honeyeater at Kuranda Birdworld allowed me to get really close to photograph it. There are numerous Honeyeater bird species in Australia, which eat nectar and insects, They are active and intelligent, and important flower pollinators. They can easily be attracted to gardens if you grow the right plants.

This blue and gold macaw took a while to get through the shell, and then dropped the nut onto the ground. I picked it up and gave it to back to the macaw, who treated the whole affair as if it was perfectly normally for humans to be running around doing errands for it.

This gorgeous bird was feeding at Kuranda bird world Australia. I like the contrast between the bold primary colours of the bird, and the softer pastel background.

Cassowary birds are very large birds that look they would not be out of place with dinosaurs. They are potentially dangerous and have a powerful kick which can kill you. This bird at Kuranda Birdworld finally struck a nice pose for me.

These two wild wallabies are actually testing each other’s strength, like an arm wrestle, but I like the photo because they look like they are dancing, perhaps a waltz. This species is known as the agile wallaby, and the photo is taken in North Queensland, Australia.

Wildlife in Yorkeys Knob, Australia

This 1.5 m crocodile swam across the Lake at Half Moon Bay golf club in Cairns Australia, to have a closer look at me. The photo is taken from about two metres away. The crocodile was too small to be likely to attack me, but we did have an eyeball to eyeball standoff for a minute or two. Unnerving.

There is something exciting about going to the beach and when you arrive, seeing a path down to the beach and the sea. In this photo of a tropical beach near Cairns, Australia, I like the framing elements of the coconut palm fronds on both sides.
