In Western Australia there has been a project running for several years now to beautify grain silos and several have now been painted with native wildlife. The main pollinators are the Honey Possum and the New Holland Honeyeater and they have both been painted onto the silos. New Holland Honeyeater.

There are the endemics, which are odd in their own way, and then there introduced species, which are so varied in their type and origin that you get the feeling you’ve arrived at the aftermath of a small zoo that escaped. What is surprising is quite how many species did end up here, and how economically unimportant they were.

Cats, along with other introduced mammals, are genuinely a problem in New Zealand in a way they aren’t in most of the rest of the world (Australia has similar problems mostly with foxes and cats). Even wiping out one species, like possums, or stoats, or hedgehogs is probably beyond current methods.

The third species I saw was an Atherton endemic (of which there are a few knocking about) Macleay’s Honeyeater , a striking spotted honeyeater that was easy to watch on the bird baths near the dining area. The highlight of the night was a Striped Possum, a large squirrel sized possum with black and white striped fur.

The Australian Brush-turkey ( Alectura lathami ) is a common sight in the rainforests of Australia. In the parking area I immediately encountered a pair of Australian Brush-turkeys as well as a new species for me, a Grey-headed Robin. One final surprise was a Green Ringtail , an endemic possum.
