Appreciate the compliment. It was such a challenge to shoot in such poor lighting, am glad it turned out well.

Lucky for me there was a feature ‘show’ of sorts with the Tasmanian devil, that’s why I was able to shoot it while it was scurrying around.

“‘I am over 150 years old’- and yet they thought it was a good idea to nail a sign to me”. Loved the pics. Must be ten years since I visited. It all looks very different and much better than I remember it. (Apart from the nail in the tree!)

Great to hear that you loved the pics. There’s a lot more focus on conservation now, and the animals are always a delight to watch.

Yes! I’m lucky I get to watch a lot at home. We have a resident blue tongue lizard, ringtail and brush tailed possums, plus frequent visiting magpies, cockatoos, correllas, butcher birds, and rainbow lorikeets. Believe it or not I live in a suburban area!
