I finally got a decent shot of the elusive Kookaburra that hangs around our back yard but is camera-shy! They are so distinctive, with their flat heads, stalky shape, and funky colouring.
Other than that, the last few weeks have been productive, but quieter on the publishing front. Lots of great shout-outs though! Whoo-ee! First, here [...]
I get a lot of emails from readers with very pertinent – and often similar – questions. And if lots of people are asking a similar question, there are probably lots more who are thinking it!

After returning from celebrating New Year’s at the beach, I repacked my bags and headed into the Aussie bush for a 10 day training course in guiding people bushwalking, canoeing, cycling, through ropes courses, rescue, and facilitation.
