Last week I went to a special place in the Brisbane Metropolitan area. It is called Venman National Park and is an area rich in wildlife that was owned, preserved and then donated to the local Council by a man called John Venman in 1976 and now it is a declared National Park. I’ve only begun to explore it but I’ll post some photos here. The Red-necked Wallabies were really tame and seemed curious about me rather than frightened. As with the birds by my back door I just approached slowly, keeping my mind calm and peaceful, sending safe thoughts to them and quietly talking to them. Sounds crazy? Well it worked.
Many Australians think Wallabies and Kangaroos are different. Many people outside of Australia have only heard of Kangaroos. It’s a fact that Wallabies and Kangaroos are close relatives and we just call the smaller onesWallabies and the bigger ones Kangaroos. There’s no scientific reason for the different names.
There will be more photos from time to time. If you want to buy any of my photos any that are for sale will be on iStockphoto and they don’t cost much. It depends on the quality and size you want to buy and that depends on what you want them for. Here’s the link to my portfolio on iStock – http://www.istockphoto.com/user_view.php?id=164000 You can flick through it or use the search box to find the one you are after.
What’s that black and white bird? It’s an Australian Magpie, quite different from the birds called Magpies in Europe and North America. Aussie Magpies have a really wonderful voice and early every morning I listen to them singing (if I’m awake) their strong melodious songs.
