Wildlife in the suburbs


Peron's tree frog, found perched on our upstairs bathroom shower rose.
Other backyard interest stories:
The swamp frogs have been going crazy laying eggs in the pond when it rains. The tadpoles seem to get to 3-4 cms long before they disappear. The brushtailed possums have been eating the buds and leaves of the waterlilies on a regular basis. A couple of water dragons have been seen on the lawn.

Last days in France


Last Cote d'Azur hike with autumn colours and snow.

Back in Sydney we are experiencing temperatures over 25 degrees Celcius, humidity, green gardens (despite the ongoing drought) and flowers of all colours.

The last weekend hike


We hiked to a arsenic sulfate mine in the Vesubie Valley, only abandoned in the 30's. We used the handy table and chairs to eat our quiches and pain aux raisins. Despite the sun it was quite chilly. We only saw two other hikers and heard the shots of hunters, luckily in the distance.
