We always thought ‘Broken Nose’ was a male kangaroo. But here she shows us how she’s carrying her young one. Surprise, surprise!
- Martin holds his two year old son, Tristan. Caroline and one twin are in the front, Grandpa Peter looks at something on the ground, Elizabeth (in brown jacket) looks on too.
- While Martin and Elizabeth did their 18 km run to Greenpatch, I followed them with Tristan in their car. Tristan didn’t like to see his parents running in front of him while he was stuck with Grandma in the car! He was happy then to be with his parents at Greenpatch.
- Tristan, on his Mum’s lap, looks what the twins do, Martin points out something.
- Caroline with her Dad
In one of the pictures you can see Monika with Martin. who has little Tristan on his shoulders.
Monika and Martin are of course sister and brother.
Monika is the twins’ Mum.
Caroline wears a red top. In one of the pictures you can see her running off. Unfortunately it’s not a very good shot of mine.
I love the family photos. Looks like a wonderful family outing. Fun!
The kangaroo with her joey is delightful! And the birds in that picture are simply stunning. What are they?
We always took a few sunflower seeds with us to feed the parrots at Sussex Inlet. Peter tells me .in that Nature Reserve at Sussex Inlet and at Green Patch the dominant parrots iwere Crimson Rosellas. I thought they were Lorikeets, The parrots called ‘lorikeets’ now sometimes come to the grevilleas here were we live not far from Sydney. These parrots look lovely colorful too.
The two red birds on the fence with blue feathers are Crimson Rosellas, the third smaller bird with green feathers presumably is a young Rosella. As far as I know the feathers turn blue as he grows up.
In this picture with the kangaroo which we called ‘Broken Nose’ you can see in the background our yellow station wagon. Our family had rented two units for this winter weekend. We were the only holidaymakers for that weekend. We had the whole place to ourselves!
