Thanks guru bob. Some more from the last coupla days. Pic 3 AW? Big plant, almost eucalypt like leaves.

Blackers. I’m driving, scant reception, I’ll have a crack at all of those entire two lists of beauties after 7pm, when I sadly arrive home , glorious snaps, love the reptiles. AW

Edit. Photo three, Fabaceae flowers, big leaves Hardenbergia violacea

Edit 2. Photo 4 Dodonaea viscosa ssp. spathulata Hop Bush. (discoid fruits very evident)

I’m an id junkie can’t you tell.

Cheers Alfred. An id junkie is the best kind there is, no one gets harmed.

My sister lives on karragarra island and this little guy/lady flew into the window and knocked him/ her self out . Big sister cupped it in her hands until it regained consciousness and the bird , scarlet honeyeater ? happily hung around for quite awhile and thanked her before flying off . loving all the great contributions on this thread.

Scarlet Myzomela (aka Scarlet Honeyeater). The Myzomela are a unique group inside the honeyeater family Malphigidae.

Where’s my spoon and ciggie lighter, I’ve just stuck the needle in. AW

Shingle tailed Lizard is under an Araucaria heterophylla

Your snake is sliding under Acacia iteaphylla and to its right Acacia paradoxa

Piss stop. Photo 5 are all Proteaceous plants. The pink flowers are either a Grevillea or Hakea, bit hard to tell.

The green plant in the foreground is an Isopogon species, probably ceratophyllus Honey-cone Bush

Must be sandy loam or sand in that location , Proteoid roots tend to not tolerate other soils very well, obviously conditions are favourable, again ,nice snaps.

Supa. Hi.

Talk about ‘sowing your seeds’ far and wide.

Our Seeds must be a very fecund fellow. Keep well.

Supa. You’ll know what this is in this photo. I took it in Coolum in a coastal park just behind the primary dune scrub and sandy beach.
There was at least 12 flying around.

I remember you once telling me a certain bird observation on your golf course gig.

I looked at them and thought, give up, it’s never going to work in that location.AW

Hey. Supafreak. Did happen to guess the bird that makes this hole ? AW

Honyeater ? I remember others and yourself quickly identifying it when I asked . I mentioned I’m a complete novice when it comes to this thread and enjoy being educated.
