I was at the new lake at Dulop this afternoon. had not realised what a big lake it was. I was delighted to see a pair of Great CrestednGrebes, a pair of musk ducks, and a pair of Australasian Grebes. (Why do we use capital letters for some birds and lower case for others?)

Also at Googong Dam on Wednesday, I saw a pair of musk ducks.

There is Grasslands Nature Reserve at Dunlop. And it sure is only grassland, not a tree or shrub to be seen. But it seems to me that it would be a real fire hazard in windy conditions, even if the weather was not hot. Anyone know anything about it. The street beside it is Kerrigan and there are lots of houses around
