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.

Thanks for posting that Distracted. Your description is pretty spot on. Not really birdlike.
I was just consulting zee bird book and the population here is extremely endangered but it enlightened me to the fact their habitat is scant on the mainland. Tiny pockets of remaining birds.

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

One way they look like an emu footprint sorta. Middle toe too small.
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

Should have unbolted it and dropped it off.
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
One of the weed species to pop up in the mulch.
A butterfly favourite. An exotic weed.
Old name Asclepias sp. Milkweed
New name Gomphocarpus physocarpus

A Sawfly, an ancient progenitor of many other species, ants, wasps, bees and sawflies.
A mighty fine specimen.

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 .
Seems a keen interest for some, so why not.
