Critters of Australia

With Spring is full swing in Australia I have seen a huge amount of the interesting flora and fauna.

Arnhem Land had a huge collection of creatures, which changes significantly between the wet and dry seasons.
 Lots of crocs

Lots of spiders (this is a non-poisonous St Andrews spider)

Rock wallaby

Harlequin beetles

Leichardt crickets

The majestic Jabiru

Sea Eagle on its nest

Water lilies at sunset with damsel fly

Jesus bird (runs on top of the lily pads to give the illusion of walking on water)

In Perth the flowers were blooming in King's Park


And Darwin is all about the tropical wildlife





I have seen many more creatures that I didn't manage to take photos of, including the huge hawks that fly over Darwin, dolphins, huge fruit bats (over 1m wing span) and all of the unusual and vocal parrots.
