Another cockatoo was also eating in another tree. I got the feeling they knew they were being photographed, but one of them screeched an alarm shortly after and the whole group flew off. I saw a flock well over a hundred flying around the suburb later that day.
I saw a few that walk. I took a step down to get the photo and was reluctant to step closer as it appeared to be getting its back up and looking for a fight. I wasn't going to press the issue as i just saw a baby water dragons close by.
Yeah I think Lemmy is still in the early stages and hope people are open to bending some rules. I have a photo os some Tawny Frogmouths that I might ask to post to Superbowl even though they're not owls.
Thanks, i just cross posted it there. I checked their rules and they do have some exceptions. I dont know whether the Water Dragons are considered lizards, and im not an expert but i have posted several images to birding after someone else suggested there too.
Sorry for the lower quality image, I took this one on my phone and as the saying goes, the best camera is the one you have with you.
I know it's the other side of the planet, but Australia has a Great Race our Supercars compete in every year in October. It's the Bathurst 1000 which is about 2 hours west of Sydney.
It's one of the tracks the Supercars race a which is a public road most of the year so you can drive a lap in a stock car (with 60kph limit).

Walk into a random cafe some time and find one of my photos is on their wall.

World. Why? "Hello World".
Isn't there a bypass there now?
I thought it'd help to be descriptive.
One of the Martian moons travels between the rover and the sun. It's a bit different to my usual posts, and not my OC :).
I believe it's Phobos, so there might be doom music kicking in any second now...
Sydney has many ferries travelling on its harbour to help move people around, some are smaller and have a shallow draft like the Rivercats that travel between Circular Quay and Paramatta and there are several other ferry classes painted in Green and Gold.
Note: Image uploaded at 1921x1080 pixels. In some of my other posts in other communities, some people said the images were small, and it looks like Lemmy creates thumbnails as .webp files and some of these may be shown. I'm using the default theme and have to click on the image to get it to show the full resolution image.
Canberra is known at the Bush Capital and it's common to see kangaroos in the parks of the suburbs.
Sydney has several different types of ferries, the larger ones travel to Manly (highly recommended) and the smaller ones travel around the harbours various wharves. There's also the rivercats which travel up the river to Paramatta.
This young koala was still new to climbing on its own and was moving slowly and mum was nearby on another branch. It was moving to eat some leaves.
It managed to find itself under the branch at some point, but got on top again and carried on.

It looks like the front hasn't fallen off.
Edit: context for those not aware - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM . The front section of a oil tanker fell off and it started leaking crude oil into the ocean off perth and it caught fire.
The two actors are comedians who (then) regularly did send ups of politicians in the last few minutes broadcast each week on an otherwise serious news show.
