It was so peaceful and tranquil at the park and only a small number of people there. The birds were gathered in numbers and content.

Visit to Karkarook Park
Recently I drove past a park beside a main road near home and realised I’d never visited there before. So I decided I would leave early one Friday morning and get there to see what bird life was at the wetlands before the day had progressed too far. The photos for the next few days…
A study of ducks
Spreading and flapping its wings in the water I couldn’t resist getting sequential shots! This is the last of this particular series on ducks.

The 1,000 Steps is connected to the Kokoda Trail and has memorial plaques and stones along the pathway and information on how difficult the Kokoda…
Sun on the water
I loved the sunlight on the water and this photo probably doesn’t do it enough justice but thought I’d share it anyway. Lysterfield Lake Park is truly a beautiful place to visit and a very popular family picnic area, as well as popular with the mountain bikers who congregate there every weekend. No wonder they…
More Kangaroos
There were a lot of roos grazing on this particular day in the park. Here’s a couple more.
