Earth quake!
We had a small earth quake here last night at 11:27 pm! Nothing happened, but it felt as if a huge lorry would be speeding by, but there is no road and no lorry nearby. Quite impressing! The reasons for the quake are still mysterious though.

Otherwise there's not much to tell, we're enjoying our lazy days here with sofa, TV and dog, have been hiking with Debbie in the Kuitpo Forest last week and tomorrow is Susi and Sean's goodbye party.

Animals: Birds

Unfortunately, birds seldomly hold very still for me to take their photo - so unfortunately these aren't the best pictures, but still - some of my favourite Australian birds!!
1 Pelican at the Town of 1770, Queensland - actually we heard there are lots here near Adelaide at the Murray River, too!
2 + 6 Black Cockatoo and Guinea Fowl in a Sanctuary near Rockhampton, Queensland
3 Superb Blue Wren (Prachtstaffelschwanz, Hartmut! :-) in Coff's Harbour, New South Wales - they are so tiny and so pretty!
4 Magpie - they are really everywhere. Sometimes they look quite mean and always stunningly intelligent, but their song is the most beautiful of any bird.
5 All Cockatoos can sing and often talk quite well - but of all the sounds they can imitate they choose - a rusty door.
7 Crimson Rosella in Wilsons Prom, Victoria.
8 Noisy Miner, at some rest area along the road in Queensland - unfortunately the beautiful and soo cute Rainbow Lorikeets were always too quick for my camera.
9 Last - but not least - Australias icon, the Kookaburra. Unfortunately, I don't have a better picture of this cheeky but nice, large kingfisher - and you have to hear his song: the first times we heard it we couldn't believe a bird could make this racket, it sounds just as if a gaggle of monkeys would be chasing each other in the trees, chuckling and cackling - the Laughing Kookaburra!
