Finch Hatton Gorge
This weekend has been good fun. I have had family staying, so its made me stop & go out on some road trips near to where I live; thought you might like to see.
This little Kookaburra was a cheeky fella. We stopped for a picnic and I was happily eating a tuna salad sandwich & he swooped down, snatching it straight out of my hand! It all happened in a flash and my heart was going, I can tell you. He delicately took it from my hand as his beak never even touched me! He must have had his eye on the prize, that's for sure.
Will be going back here in the summer to swim in the gorge with the kids. They would have gone in if I'd have let them, but the water was very cold.
This Oleander tree was full with blooms. It's so pretty, just a shame it is a poisonous tree. If the leaves are chewed it can make you very sick so best not to plant in your garden if you have small children.

Next stop Airlie Beach

I hope I have brought a bit of spring early. I am lucky the winters in North Queensland are glorious.
