This week finds us flying from Melbourne, Australia, to Alice Springs, in the center of this incredibly large country. This is truly the center if Australia, no matter what method you use to decided the actual location of dead center. But the diversity, that I have found to be Australia, remains.

Foxes were introduced to Australia in 1855 for hunting and have established themselves far and wide. There is a family of feral foxes that I often encounter near Bennison Creek. They usually bolt as soon as they see me, but I have been able to take a few photos of them. Once I find a few active species I watch and wait.

Owls live and migrate from Arctic circumpolar to Colorado prairie to South American rainforest to Southeast Asian islands, Galapagos islands, Canary islands–many many islands–to coastal Australia and onward. They are also hunted. They roost and hunt, at night (mostly) when we can’t see them.

Royal National Park, south of Sydney in Australia, is one such place. For being in the country less than two hours (being an Aussie citizen really speeds up Australia’s usually slow immigration processes), its a great place to start. One of Australia’s prettiest parrots, the Crimson Rosella.

More importantly the airport in Nadi (pronounced Nandi) on the main island of Viti Levu is a major air hub and frequent stop on flights between the United States and Australia or New Zealand. But the star of Kadavu was also the easiest species to see in the village, the Crimson Shining-parrot.

They are one of the most attractive of Australia’s parrots, and one of the most common, benefiting from the planting of attractive flowering shrubs. Pairs of these a are common sight on open grassy areas in Australia. Near the entrance lay Bushy Pond, one of the many lakes and ponds that fill the park.

I was able to convince Murray Hunt to take us out for a morning cruise on the Daintree River, despite late notice, and that it was a Sunday morning that looked to be really crappy weather. The Australia count is now 169. The RV center was prompt, and we found Lake Placid RV Park, and I was off and running.
