Boomerang Waterhole – We saw at least six blue billed diver ducks, pelicans, little black cormorants, white necked heron little corellas, white plumed honeyeaters, harriers so you just have to believe me! Oh and one feral pig spotted on the opposite bank to our campsite.This escaped the week’s shooting that killed 850 feral pigs and several hundred feral cats!

Red kangaroo – too far for a good pic. In fact our digital camera has started creaking. Could be dust in the shutter mechanism or simply over use.
