Washing up dishes Aussie style…no sterilizers!

We had an “Australian night”meal… emu steaks, kangaroo tail and “marron” (freshwater cray).  Yum!

This parrot is called the “28”..sounds like it’s saying “twenty eight” when it sqwarks

Perth

Leaving Auckland Savanna on same flight 

Arriving at Perth.  With Janice and Lindsay Ward

Visiting Linda Callaway in her retirement apartment.  With Lynn Sherlock visiting from NSW staff

Lynn and I with our kind hosts Don and Angela Major.  Don is ex-Queensland, Angela is English and was in the work once.  Both were widowed when they met a few years ago.  They took us to the beautiful Kings Park in the middle of Perth.  It has every species of Australian wildflower apparently! Stunning colours
