More Queensland

Yes I am back to bore you with more holiday snaps!!!!!

I thought I had better add a photo of Jack....





Grandad Ray has some lovely flowers around his property, would love to have them in my garden but its to cold down this way for them, DAMN IT!!!





Gorgeous Lillies






Amazing & Tropical Hibiscus







And lovely orchid's







David took us to see some fruit bats, I was expecting to see 5 or 6, but this is what we saw....


There were hundreds of them!!! I kid you not!!! This is just one branch, they were hanging from every tree along the river for about 1-2km!!! Half of them were squealing because Cockatoo's were bugging them and waking them up. I couldn't get over how many of them there were and what a commotion they were making!!!



There was a wonderful array of birds at Grandads as well...



Rainbow Lorrikets (Spen's fav!)...


Unknown Bird, isn't he mean looking?...





After Bundy we went to my brother Darin and his wife Karen's place in Brisbane, about a 4-5 hour drive, not to bad really....

Uncle Darin



Aunty Karen


It was great to see them and spend some time with them. They came down to our neck of the woods last year with my mum and my other brother Kelvin so it hasn't been to long since we had seen them.

They have two pets, first we have Ottis....










Don't you love the look on Ottis's face?





And then there is the ever elusive Saffy....






She drank out of the pool every morning, I secretly kept hoping she would fall in! Mean of me I know.

It was usally all we saw of her, she wasn't keen on Samantha!




The first day we were there Darin took us to a local market next to the Brisbane river, but due to tight budget we didn't really buy anything except a couple of little trinkets.


Darin took us to a place called Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, which I think was my highlight of the holiday....





We got to see Dingo's..











Snakes...




And croc's.....













Wombat's...







Lizard's...







And we got to feed Kangaroo's....

Isn't the baby roo GORGEOUS!!!!!!!





More pics next time, trust me you won't want to miss then, especially one of Spencer!!! No more will be said til next time.
