Took a couple shots of my friend through the window a few hours ago. I have 4 or 5 resident hummers in my yard but I wish I had a bigger variety of flowers for them.
Sold my 200-600 about two weeks ago but regretted it so I bought one back yesterday .

Thanks Bob and I agree about the Name ( but what can you do )
Unlike Ayers rock which you cannot climb now ( cultural reasons like the name change ) Mt Augustus can be climbed but it is a 12.5 Kilometre round trip and the drive around it is over 50 k's, it's a bloody big rock

That's amazing and ice never heard of it before. Yet I know every word of 3 foreign national anthems. I'm a bad Australian.

Indeed a pity about the name change and therefore satisfying to see "Uluru" rendered with quotes.
About half a dozen little kids are apparently running around freely,
but are being carefully watched by their young mothers.
Occasionally a mother has to hurry a bit and lead her kid back to this area.
It's fun to watch this loving peaceful active living.
Looking across a canal and reflection; I believe a swimming Pied Billed Grebe can be seen near the far side of the canal just in front of the reflection.
