Nature and wildlife

The nature and the wildlife of Queensland is absolutely fantastic! To see the animals, plants, flowers I have only seen on the TV and in the books before was very-very interesting and exciting. Visiting botanic gardens in Brisbane and walking in rainforests gave a good possibility to learn more about the nature and the wildlife of Australia.

In this section I share my photos I took about animals, flowers.

A bit of a tour de force of the animal life; still wondering how the Tassie Devil made it into Queensland pics though. Thank you for sharing. Cheers Ian

Beautiful photos, especially of the Water Dragon. Silly things, they sit in the middle of the road, with there heads in the air, so they are often splat!!

Very nice coverage of Australian birds and animals. Our American possums like wet habitats and are nocturnal scavengers, frequently eating garbage. Doug
