They may look like a large rat but the Southern Brown Bandicoot are a small mammal and a marsupial. Australia is quite well known for our strange marsupials, mostly the Koala and Kangaroo, but we actually have so many more species. This little guy is quite endangered, but there is a happy little community at…

Nothing beats getting out and enjoying the sunshine and fresh air in Autumn, my favourite time of year. We recently headed out to Healesville Sanctuary with our eldest daughter to enjoy some time with some quirky Aussie animals. That’s all they house here, Aussie natives.

Leaving in Australia, we have some rather strange animals, not seen anywhere else in the world, sure we have koalas (not bears), kangaroos and wombats, but one rarely seen, even by a native Aussie is the echidna, akin to a spiny anteater. Echidnas are medium-sized, solitary mammals covered with coarse hair and spines. Spines and fur of an echidna Superficially, they resemble…

Last week we had a brief respite from the horrid Winter weather we have been experiencing, we had a few days of blissful conditions; blue skies, sunshine, calm gentle winds and warmer temperatures…heaven.

On a recent trip to Healesville Sanctuary, about 40kms from Melbourne, I spent a good five minutes with these cheeky Rainbow Lorikeets, so much fun. It’s been so long since I did a #RegularRandom, I thought it was time. I basically stayed in the one spot and followed them, in the tree, on the ground,…
