My husband, a friend and I had the most amazing thrill of a lifetime today. We got to watch a male lyrebird, out in the open, dance, sing and display as there was a female lyrebird nearby. Often they can be heard in the bush and shadows but it’s not often you see one out…

A visit to the Rhododendron Gardens
I went to the gardens with a friend and some photographers and these are just some of the many rhododendrons we saw while visiting. It’s a great time of the year to see the gardens.
