We also would trade an occasional snapper or all the river fish we caught for Chinese take out . The cooks would come out and excitedly trade for our fresh catch … Good ol days !

Zorros ( a kind of Fox…but a marsupial,carry’s it’s young in a pouch)
Always around when I had chickens that’s there fav food but like a fox they will kill all your birds if they get into the coop’) not liked by the locals…I love them. ( don’t have any

And Tarantulas kinda scared of them…only around in the dry season, I don’t know where they go other times…the local kids here pick them up and play with them…

Ever see how far they can pop thier head out?I grew up next to a huge freshwater pond as a kid and still frequent it some 35 years later.They have alligator snapping turtles in that pond that get to the size of metal trash can lids that look like huge stones till you come up o them.We used to have to poke them off the trails they liked laying in the sun on the dirt paths .we would use use logs a good 7 inches around 3 foot long and they would snap hunks out of the wood like a cookie cutter to a wad of dough.I had one nail a hunk of wood and it landed on the top of its carapace.I poked the wood off with the log and the son of a bitch shot his neck out and nailed the log on top of his shell scared the shit out of me.Was always super careful after that.

That’s strange we see them more in the wet season when the rain flushed them out of their holes.
Those Zorros are in the possum family, keep your dogs away from them if you have any mate.
My mates dog came of second best…

Could they be Rose Aphids?
I saw them at a park on the weekend…not sure what that plant is but every one was covered in those things.

Noticed this hawk just chilling this morning
Then I realized these 2 other birds (bluejays I think ) harassing it till it finally flew away they followed as it left too
Not a bad way to start the day
