Here`s a monitor out at Woowoonga NP. The second one I saw that day on the way down the mountain and a fair sized one too. The abdomen on it was the same width as my thigh and the trunk of the Hoop Pine be as wide as I am.
Best sight I've ever seen out back was a flock of budgies, that was when I was working on the Ghan
railway line, Second time was pig hunting out Ivanhoe way, gotta love budgies

Loved watching a couple of flocks of budgies doing early moning aerobatics over the water when we took our kayak up Lawn Hill Gorge, but seeing one of the huge flocks almost large enough to block out the sky is still on my bucket list.

Awesome awesome thread guys. This is why so many of us hit the road to see the real stars of this country!! These beautiful creatures don't give a flying fox about the NBN, fiscal reform, mortgages, economic development, Census debacles, car jackings, stock markets, superannuation, exposure to litigation, employment vulnerability, life insurance, death insurance, pre-paid funerals, interest rates, wheat price index, Foxtel subscriptions, registration fees, civic compliance, social media, facebook, etc etc etc that we "superior" beings envelop ourselves in. Life aint meant to be this way eh?
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??
