From My Camera

We did take a ride back to our kangaroo sighting location on Sunday afternoon. Trisha took over the camera (I just wasn't feeling up to it). She was proud of her kangaroo photos, so you have to look at them, too.



While we were driving we saw a kookaburra sitting on a fence post. These birds are known for their distinctive call, which sounds a lot like a laugh. Every time we have seen them on this trip, Bubby and Johanna launch into a round they learned in their primary education. It goes like this:

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh kookaburra, laugh kookaburra
Gay your life must be.



This morning, Bubby woke early, looked out the window and launched. She ran downstairs waking everyone in the house. She could tell it was going to be a beautiful sunrise. She, Larry and Johanna went and took multiple photos of the stages of this beautiful rising sun.



The first morning we were in our new digs, I went out of the balcony of our upstairs room (by the way, our lodging in Dunsborough was elegant). I noticed fecal pellets laying around and I asked Larry if he knew of any birds that pelletized their shess. He didn't. Early this morning, Bubby heard some scratching around on our balcony but was afraid to go see what it was.

Anyway, when they went out to photograph the sunrise, Bubby and Larry got pictures of our intruder. It was a common bushtail possom. Bubby was proud to solve the mystery and to get this photo. It is a little out of focus but you get the idea.



We had to check out of beautiful accommodations by 10:00 AM. We went on a lighthouse tour. This is Bubby standing in front of the Cape Naturaliste lighthouse.



Once we left Dunsborough, we drove to Bunbury and saw the Bunbury lighthouse as well. It was a beautiful and relaxed drive home. We stopped at a couple of bakeries (or course) and generally had a grand time. We are now back at Larry's in Fremantle and planning a trip out to Rottnest Island tomorrow. It looks like the weather is about to change, so we are trying to fit in as many outdoor activities as possible. We have had beautiful weather ever since we arrived here.
