Yesterday, I went for a walk in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Thought it would be good to get some fresh-air after days stuck inside a hospital & the weather was fantastic.
I did hope to see some wildlife, but as it turned out for much of the walk I only saw plenty of insects, lots of spiders webs (although thankfully no spiders) which seemed to be doing a good job at keeping the flies away, and some pretty interesting vegetation.
Then, as I approached a picnic area I noticed my little friend in the photo....he was eating the food that people had left behind & seemed very friendly, not at all scared by the humans wandering around taking photos of him! The meeting of the lizard, together with some stunning views of Pittwater more than made up for the lack of mammals on show (turns out they only come out at night, when the park happens to be closed).
Amazingly enough, this National Park is only 15km from where I live, and 30km from the centre of Sydney. In fact, Sydney has many National Parks surrounding it (indeed the harbour itself is classed as a National Park) and has to be one of the best cities in the world for spotting wildlife.
Oh, whilst checking out some Aboriginal caves almost walked in on two people getting it on. She looked a bit like Kath (from Kath & Kim show) and they both spent the two minutes I was there fastening their pants. Unfortunately, didn't get my camera out in time to take a shot of them!
