We have beehives on our small property 🐝. Trying to do our bit to support nature. The extracted honey is delicious too.

It’s not a wombat because I didn’t have one in my gallery, but here is a koala for you. I know things are really tough for you right now but I do hope you have a happy birthday and that the coming year is a bit kinder to you. #SundayPix #SundayPixWombat

My first day of retirement from the Department of Education after 40 years of service following a period of leave due to ongoing health issues. Proud of my contribution and achievements, that includes 19 years as a specialist school principal. An immensely challenging but rewarding role.

Just back from a long week-end in Mildura, Victoria's tropical north. Loved learning about the amazing role Fergie tractors played in 1956 during the highest recorded Murray River flood.

People seemed to like that earlier shot I posted of the red-rumped parrot about to have a drink at Lake Hattah. So, here's another - with his beak in the water 🙂

I do love honey bees and bees in general but I’m always on the lookout for new subjects so I neglect these beauties.

A sad Geelong Cats fan today. 😂 As for Snoop Dog. The pre-game performance was okay, but with the price of admission, I don't appreciate the AFL engaging someone with his particular personal and political views.
