Truth be known BZ Mate, Rossco is one of Southern Australia’s ‘Bestest’ Commercial Tree Top Climbing LumberJack’s [emoji106][emoji106]Quote:

Australian ‘Huntsman Spiders’ are near harmless (sometimes nippy) but can be aplenty if you accidentally disturb a nest, possibly why Rossco rightly so may be suffering Arachnophobia behind the bark and or gender dysphoria as a LumberJill but we doubt the later [emoji123][emoji123][emoji23]

FWIW: Genuine Arachnophobia with specific trades (workers) onsite and also unlucky/unknown timed campers experiences across Australia is real BZ Mate [emoji51][emoji23]
A ‘Tough Bushman Concreter’ mate of ours once told of his younger horror story with himself and his Plumber/Bricklayer/Trucker mates and their annual Blokes weekend away lighting their long weekend continuous hoped fire at the base of a dead half standing hardwood tree on our Mighty Murray Border River.
As the story goes, within minutes of ignition, hundreds, if not thousands of the ‘Nippy Huntsman Variants’ flowed out of the hollow stump and sent some of Australia’s most hardened tradesmen squealing into the river for safety.
Car doors all left open back on dry land and our old concreter mate still jumps to this day if you lower your sunscreen visor whilst he is a passenger [emoji887] [emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji887][emoji23]

The above pic I posted shows a freak of nature, folks. There is a concave face to the rocks at Cape Nelson which reflect the occasional wave back to one point. If another incoming wave hits the rock shelf at just the right moment, even on a calm day, a gush of water spews skyward.
We should’ve stayed out in the desert for another week, motored straight back into an SA lockdown too now dammit [emoji2959]

Mrs mudsane and I went driving along the coast. We watched the Surrey River outflow for a while, then spotted a couple of whales 300 to 400 metres off the beach. They were very active, but the wind was whipping the top off the surf. The resulting mist kept stuffing up the focus, so I only got a few tame pics.
Went searching for our last counted dangerously missing kiddy safe Shiny Tek-Screw, found it, can youz ? [emoji23]

Wife and I were there at the rock the day they closed it for climbing. It was packed with people getting in for their last chance to legally climb it. We didn't though, opted for the segway trip around the base. Bloody big stone it is.,
Segways were still there for hire on the south side carpark and bicycles for hire too at the Cultural centre main carpark Philstar [emoji106][emoji106]
I once climbed it in the late 80’s on a high school camp and do remember a heap of other wankers graffiti up there and even toilet paper strewn behind sneaky disgusting tourists potty outcrops atop [emoji2959]

Now this little fella ran onto to the road and stopped just in front of us. We stopped and grabbed the camera, (Totally wrong lense fitted). I nudged his tail a few times before he flared up, but wouldn't move.
He even tried to run at me. What a display! He really didn't like it when I picked him up and put him to one side!
It was a magnificent day trip to the Lower Glenelg National Park, Nelson and back home via Swan Lake and Telegraph Rd.
To top it off, we saw a pair of wedge tailed eagles hoeing into a dead wallaby. They were very nervous so we left them to it.

A double rotor push me pull you whirly bird. Very rare but very noisy.
They sometimes eat troops or vehicles and spit at rivals at 600 rounds per minute.

Some may not be aware that whilst Palm Cockatoos are the impressive punk rocker drummers of the Aussie Parrot family they are an increasing rarity & officially endangered with a declining population. They mate for life & only breed when conditions are right, which is less & less thanks to human activities. With this in mind we felt privileged to get a visit from two adults & their young offspring this morning. They had circled around for a bit of a 'reccy' yesterday (Boxing day) morning & we wondered at the time if they were checking out the fruit on the recently flowered Leichardt tree, but no, it was the Beach Almonds they were interested in.

Battersbys Camp at the Lower Glenelg Nat Park, this afternoon. Gang Gangs preening just before dusk.
Another snap from Battersbys. Eastern Yellow Robin.
Still at Battersbys. A cheeky little White-Browed Scrubwren.
You've gotta get to the Grampians Zoo and shell out for an animal experience. Mrs mudsane and I got to play with a couple of 7 month old dingoes.
One of the red pandas was sitting on a lady's lap.
Maybe next time we'll have a go at the Cheetah experience.
The Zoo isn't huge, but well worth it.
Ignore the undies. This fella dropped by for a while whilst we were in bed a few mornings ago. Photo taken through the window

No worries, we´re in sync mate, LOL.
Sadly my camera has died. 4 consecutive tropical wet seasons is thought to have caused corrosion on the camera's motherboard, affecting the internal temperature sensor. It is now up for sale on Ebay. See Ebay Ad & a replacement camera has been sourced.
This photo of a Pacific Baza (pronounced Bazza - as in Bazza McKenzie) or Crested Hawk is the very last shot I took with the camera. It was a long way away & photo has been heavily cropped. (900mm F6.3 1/640)

No good at all. I thought you had a Pelican Case with silica to keep it dried out. Is the Sigma lens still serviceable, Cuppa?Quote:
