SCORE !! we ticked the Swift Parrott!! Thank you to Deb Worland and her camera to capture our target bird. The Swift Parrotts 'hang out' with Musk Lorikeets. At any other time, we'd be so happy to see a Musk, but as we were after a Swifty, we became a little complacent .. ahem.. and we may have been overheard saying, 'Dam, another Musk Lorikeet!'. But right on time, well a little late, (should have been about 9am, but perhaps they were caught up somewhere, at 9.10am) they flew in.
I caught a rainbow with my camera ~
We are into Gold Country. There's a lot of gold history starting from the mid-1800's. Town after town (and they just about all join together in Victoria) has links to the gold mining history. As the boom time died down, Castlemaine thrived on with its agriculture, art and tourism.
As you drive around, I love seeing the monuments and different housing and building styles.
On to Maryborough next, where we'll be meeting up with Gary Oliver to talk about where to find the Chestnut-rumped Heath Wren. I reckon we're on a roll.
