Day 181

Who's driving this jeep?

How often we see this; the owner departs from his vehicle & the passenger
straight away moves across into the driver's seat!

The look on this dog's face was priceless as I moved in closer

for a front on shot . . . only to have the dreaded "empty battery" message appear!

Are we there yet?

When we pass this landmark on the highway I know we've only 30kms to go before we're home!

I noticed the kangaroos down at the dam . . .

by the time I grabbed the camera, raced downstairs, ran out the door & down the court,
they were beginning to move higher up the hill again.

Day 178

I opened the door to find this tiny frog on the doorstep . . .

Every night the frogs can be heard (they're incredibly loud)
& it's not until the early hours of the morning that they cease their calling out!
