The drive in ...

Yes, even the drive in to the block is interesting ... well _I_ like it.
When we turn off the main road we are suddenly more alert, and not just to avoid channels worn by the winter rains.

The varied ant nests alone are worth watching, even if only to check the damage done by echidnas since our last visit.



In Summer the reptiles are out too; snakes, lizards and goannas.
"Road kill" is frequent and remains are soon cleaned up by the many ants.
Did this animal crawl off the road before it curled up and died?





The chief attraction is the birds, though they are so quick to hide.







The fleeting glimpses invite long, quiet walks with the camera.





Evenings are spent trying to match photographs taken, with those in books.
