G’day wishing you all the very very best for the coming year God Bless Chris

Gday

G’day Not just bats they are known here as flying fox. And like most people it’s a bit of a love hate thing. Nothing like have a bunch of flying fox noisily arguing over and 1/2 eating your last ripe paw paw at 12:00 at night. You get into a habit of checking your car each morning for flying fox poo. Being fruit eaters its highly acidic. If you don’t check dayly and remove it it will strip the paint down to the metal. On the other side of the coin. Flying foxes are not only the big pollinators as they eat blossom and flower fruit and necture. They also spread seeds far and wide. They are the planters and replanters of the forests and rainforests and they will be doing there job come the finish of this drought and fires. The drought was tough on them this year. The gum tree blossom are their food during the winter and there was precious little this year. Spring came around and they had their babies and as they carried them with them when young the little mums had a hard time both sucking and carrying their young. Seen a couple dead on my morning walk. And one little baby being rescued by a wild life carer from its dead mom. Poor little beggar. So like most folk I’ve taking to tying up some fruit in the trees. Leave the golden cane “date” seeds on the palms. Bugger the mess it’s a small price and you’ve got to share on this planet! Chris

G’day My house is a “Queenslander” so it’s a house built on stilts to catch the breezes. Of course everyone fills the underside in. The laundry a fill in. Only had louvre windows when I moved in and the slab floor has a big fall directed to the door cause it’s got no floor drain. The gape under the doors about an inch but it’s enough for a lizard looking for a cool dark spots to spend the day till the evening till it can hunt smaller animals, insects and snails. Great on snails .....no snail bait is allowed at my place. Hope everyone’s likes posts like these, I live in a pretty interesting place in the world. Chris

G’day Not One Puff Ever.... NOPE

G’day We had one that used to slip under the door in the laundry and hide under the pile of dirty cloths waiting to be washed. My wife would have a fit when she picked up the cloths to put them in the machine. They hiss as they show you the blue tongue, scares even me when your not expecting it. That one got moved to the side of the neighbours house. Seen it or perhaps one of the children sunning itself on the same path just reciently. With a 15 year old blind dog and no cat they are safe in my yard. There main danger is from birds like crows and Kookaburra catching them sunbaking. Chris

G’day Have chickens and keep them locked in their pen till mid morning otherwise the crows take the eggs. Noted a few broken eggshells still and was thinking that the girls might be eating their own eggs. Till this morning. Heard one of the girls boasting the way chooks do when they lay. Went straight in the pen and found the culprit in the act of eating a fresh layed egg. Bloody bluey..... a big fat blue tongue lizard. I’ve looked on them as a friend in my garden. They love snails and insects and keep them in control. I’ve encouraged them and have pieces of down pipe in the gardens so they have a place to hide. Well this particular one has a new home in a friends garden up the road. He is pleased to have it and has already put some pipe in the garden to make it welcome. Ive got others in the garden and as long as they keep away from the eggs we are good. includes a pic of a bluey. Not the culprit didn’t think to take a pic. Chris

Gday The smoke haze is ever present. Early mornings and evenings the sunlight has to pass through a lot of smoke and dust so we get bathed in a yellow gold glow. Sunrises and sunsets are different too. The sun is just a big orange ball long before it touches the horizon. Sunrises and sunsets seem to take forever. Got a forecast for Christmas Day. A cool 27C with an 80 per cent chance of a storm. Just keeping my fingers crossed.

G’day NOPE.........
