The increasingly important antipodal harvest, mostly in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, starts in February). Put a bird on it, Portland. The sleek bottle label art features a wonderful depiction of an Osprey by Portland muralist Blaine Fontana. Good birding and happy drinking! * Breakside Brewery: Breakside IPA.

We had not observed a Powerful Owl since we were living in Portland, Victoria for a few months in 2009, so once the opportunity arose to go looking for one at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Sydney we took it! Powerful Owls are the largest nocturnal bird in Australia and the largest of the owl species.

Due to the fact that we will still be camping and birding when this goes online I thought I could share some photos of a well-known marsupial in the southern parts of Australia. We spent two months in Portland, Victoria in late 2009 with Grant’s work and whenever we could we were birding.

We have only observed Gang-gang Cockatoos twice before and once was a pair in New South Wales several years ago and ten years ago another pair in Victoria near Portland. There are numerous bird species that we only observe when we are many miles from home and some bird species we have rarely observed.

In October and November 2009 we spent time in Portland, Victoria with Grant’s work and it enabled us to see some new birds and animals along a very picturesque coast. The road from Melbourne to Portland is partly the Great Ocean Road and it is the world’s largest war memorial.
