Went on a mega walk through Koondoola yesterday, the longest I've been on in easily over 2 years. It was amazing. We saw a Western brush wallaby almost flying through the undergrowth, a lot of 28 parrots, and an inordinate number of wattlebirds chasing each other about.

It was just lovely to walk the land again. Dieback has more of a stranglehold on the banksias, which is really sad. But... the land is evolving, and who knows how it will adapt to deal with it. I don't know. I do worry though.

While I could ramble on and on about spirits and 'zomg spirit spiders' and such, I'd rather just share a whole heap of photos with you. :) It's not even a flowering season at the moment, aside form a handful of plants, but that's okay.

For those who are keeping up with Tem's Lucky Paw, there are pictures of the Calytrix or 'spirit spiders' within. :)
