Yesterday I went crazy. We were driving round and round in circles in a mega-shopping-centre. We had entered assuming that we'd be able to find some lunch, but once in we couldn't find a parking spot, nor the exit. It was horrible. Anyway, it reminded me that I hadn't been on a long walk in the bush for ages. So, today Sha and her mum had a relaxing day at home while Sha's dad and I went bush walking. We simply walked out of our house, into the Lane Cove park and then kept walking for 3 hours. It was beautiful. We had lunch in a cave. I made the lunch - no chicken feet in sight.
Unfortunately I didn't charge my camera battery and so don't have any pictures, but I've found some photos on the web of the various birds and animals that we saw.

Eastern Water Dragon. From: http://danny.id.au/photography/galleries/20050115-water-dragon/p/51151231-water-dragon.jpg. We saw a huge number of these dragons. They mainly sat on a tree trunk. One jumped into the water as we came past and then swam away.

Crimson Rosella:from wikipedia. These birds always seem to come in twos. One of these wanted our sandwiches.

We also saw lots of cockatoos, a kookaburra sitting on a BBQ and a Cuckoo. Sha's dad got excited by all the big fish that we saw in the river.
