The Galah parrot

A visit to Churchill Island for lunch and a walk around the bay. It was a haven for bird life including this beautiful parrot. We had seen it previously at a distance this time close enough to capture on camera. The area is know for Pelicans - in the extra, quite wonderful to see. The Moonah tree is also an extra.
3 extras tonight!!!

My day started off well with a massage, one of the best ever had, our host was a nurse and now prefers to earn her living like this. A thorough unknotting I would say.

From the Internet:
Churchill Island, just off the coast of Phillip Island holds an important place in the history of European settlement in Victoria. The site of the first European agricultural pursuits in Victoria, the island has been farmed since the 1850’s and in 1872 was purchased by Samuel Amess, former Mayor of Melbourne. This tiny island of 57 hectares is now open to the public as an historic working farm that boasts significant natural and cultural values with world-class wetlands, ancient Moonah trees, heritage gardens and historic buildings.
