Victoria over the school holidays, just gone.
I had 13 days touring Hattah, Ned's Corner, Gluepot, Yookamurra Sanctuary (SA),
Murray-Sunset, Pine Plains and "lower" Wyperfeld, Lt Desert and Lower Glenelg
NP's and then made my way back along the coast to Melbourne.

Black-eared Miner - Gluepot
Shy Hylacola - Gluepot, Murray-Sunset ( Good photos)

side of the track and did send his regards to you....
