Any luck with Eastern Ground Parrot calls?
I know they are in the heathland here but I haven't had a chance to try and get a call.
FreeRide, dusk and early morning is the time to hear them calling, if they are there. The heath needs to be low, less than waist high. In the heath at Brooms Head is a good spot. The call is pretty unique, almost insect like. Have a listen to link below.

In these photos you can see why the tree is so named, shape of the leaves. AW

Other way around they look like a bird flying or maybe a flying fox.
Seeds. Hi mate, hope you’re well.
Well, us mere Swellnutters are just basic ‘Joe Citizens’
It looks like you are a larger than life Queenslander, even holding back on the actual people from telling us you mix with the regalia within regional councils.
Driving in Warro National Park this morning , I found this, your social reach from the Noosa hinterland is greater than we all expected. A bit of fun. AW
Hibiscus divaricatus. (synonymous. Hibiscus heterophyllus ssp.luteus
Boyal , QLD. (roadside revegetation with shit loads of weed species that obviously came in with the recycled mulch broadcasted.)
Nice large shrubs all the same.
A couple of little critters making their way to destroy leaves.
Hibiscus Harlequin Bug

JellyFlater. Thanks pal.
I’ve listened to Blackers advice.
It was tiny, taken with a shitty old iPhone 8 that’s being held together with tape.
It’ll just get home to VIC.
It looks like a specimen waiting to be pinned or dropped into a preserving liquid, I couldn’t do it. AW
Nice photos AW , the beetle one had me craving for a bertie beetle .

Supafreak. Hey, fuck you made me laugh, almost choked on my cuppa tea.
I thought exactly the same thing when I first looked at the photo on my phone, just needs some shiny tinfoil wrapping and you’d have the real McCoy. Classic. AW
Edit. Hey Supa, Bertie Beetle was just one in a fifty great lollies we had as kids, White Knight, Redskins, Mates, Milky Bar, Sherbet Bombs, Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs , Choo- Choo Bar, Spearmint Leaves, just to name a few.

I remember them all.
In fact, it’s amazing I’ve got any functioning teeth left in my gob at all after that type of start in life. I’ve got more, Big Boss cigars, Spearmint Leaves. AW
Seems a keen interest for some, so why not.
