The Emu Dromaius novaehollandiae is Australia’s largest bird standing at up to 2 metres (6 foot 6 inches) tall. They are also inquisitive, so if you observe some near the edge of the road and you want to gain their attention you can turn on your car indicators and they will often investigate rather than run off.

For example on my trip to Australia earlier this year I borrowed the car one day to drive to Ku-Ring-Gai National Park, a location that proved fruitful for Clare later in the year. I only saw a few species I could get in the small park near where I was staying, and not even as many as I could have gotten there.

This cyclone has been named Cyclone Iggy and is a dominant circle on our satellite image of Western Australia. They will be seeking protection where they can and they will return as soon as the rain eases. We have had a wet week in Broome with a tropical low to our north and further down the coast there is a cyclone.
