It is the start of summer in 2022 so it is December. The goannas are out including the stunning bells phase. The bandicoots are very active. We caught on camera the short eared possum and a Melomys. What is a melomys?

Lots of plants are flowering including the egg and bacon, eijllow hakea and the vine Travellers Joy. The hatpins are out around the wetland.

This Letter from Istari includes a sighting of a dingo on our wildlife camera, how the dingo suddenly made an impact on our chickens which resulted in the construction of a dog proof chicken fence.

When we aren’t constructing new chicken runs we also attach the weeds and check on a koala who has been here for weeks.

Also check out what is flowering in January and our stunning photographs.

One of our most common trees found growing around the house and surrounds is the narrow-leaved apple (angophora paludosa).
