Wild Warroora

The rest of our time at Warroora was spent exploring the 4x4 trails, bogging the utes, sitting on the beach, admiring the wild life, and of course eating! We had some awesome meals while out, beef skewers, prawn cocktails, and several kinds of sausages just to name a few. I really wanted to share with you some of the cool animals we saw. A big change for me from moose, geese, and beavers.
A stick bug, we used to keep some of these in a tank. Here they live outside, this one was outside the homestead house.
A bush turkey, it is big, but not as large as an emu and they can fly.
Giant termite mound, it was taller than the truck and hard like rock. The bugs are nocturnal so none to be found in the bright sun.
Sheep and a roo in the backyard of the homestead.
Look how close this guy came! We could hear them most of the evening coming in to drink. They make a funny coughing sound.

  1. Again, VERY cool pics. Roos and BIG birds seem to be everywhere! If you were able to watch that watering hole for an entire season...Lord only knows what other animals you'd see :0) I guess I'm a little surprised at how flat it is...right up to where the ocean begins. Seems like you can see all the way to the horizon...in any direction.
