- Beautiful!
- Well done @Zoffiel
- I've been working heaps of weekends and haven't been over to stay at my partner's house in a couple of months (it's 100 km away) There was no garden here when we met 7 years ago, just a row of icebergs up the drive and lawn to the front door. Hes always said he is not a gardeners armpit but, by jove, hes got the weeding and watering figured out. I plant and prune, and the results are very pleasing. It was such a pleasure to pull into the driveway yesterday, and I can now understand the gentle hints that it was time I came over because 'Things are getting a bit bushy'. This is before I hacked two ute loads of lavender, spent roses and daisies out of it. It will grow back in no time.
- Good morning @jennyss. We back onto a lake (which is a bit low on water at the moment). The fence is our pool fence & birds love it 😊
- Dear @Doodoo, thanks for posting these beautiful photos. Do you back on to a lagoon?
Best wishes from jennyss in Western NSW - A few pics from my backyard
- Cute, @Sister - less so when fully grown & male!
Sadly, our 2 orange/tangelo trees have been decimated by bloody possums! I bought a trap & we've caught 4-5 so far .... Hubby takes them to a forest about 2km away to release. I just hope they are not good at finding their way back again!
They have chewed every bloody leaf off both trees!! grrr No fruit this year!! :( - Not really the garden, although the crocuses are peeking through... Taken from the kitchen window

That quoll would have had a feast. Cast iron stomachs. They are "bush vacuum cleaners".
Quolls regularly raid camp rubbish bins. Our friends who have a tourist bush camp at Bachsten Creek at the back of Mt Elizabeth Station have to remind their campers not to leave food out overnight that will be required the next day - it won't be there in the morning! - Oh...I forgot our kookaburras and various kingfishers - I never know which they are. I remember when my husband and I were camping up in the Kimberley. I'd cooked spaghetti bolognese for tea and had done way to much spaghetti so put it into a rubbish bag that was hanging on the edge of the stove, ready to throw away the next day. We were in the tent and heard some strange noises. Looked out to see a quoll scoffing the spaghetti. I think that was one marsupial that was headed for a stomach ache.
