MY WORLD ~ 16 A Trip to Queensland, 1st. Day

Dawn in last year's autumn garden looking down to
our daughtr's house.




After a long day's driving, we cross from South
Australia into New South Wales and get to
Wentworth on the Darling river after dark and are
accosted by a Brushtail Possum looking for handouts.
Befor I saw the sign not to feed the animals, I had
already slipped him a piece of banana.



Overnighting in a cabin in the caravan pk. I wake
to waterfowl in the early morning light.



A smug Black Duck reflecting



Male Mallard with Wood Duck behind him



This one has the look of a Pygmy Goose but
colour and location do not quite match.


A large domestic duck nesting in a root hollow



A Dusky Moorhen, the bane of ducklings, sailing
on some duckweed.



Male Wood Duck basking in the gold reflection
from a moored boat


And a Duckling glad to have escaped the
beak of the Moorhens ,

Next week, onward to the Warrumbungles.

My gratitude to Klaus and the MY WORLD team
for giving us the opportunity to show our corner.
