A juvenile Eastern Koel waits impatiently for its foster parent Wattlebird to bring it some food. Must be hard work for the Wattlebird when the Koel is already bigger than them. #birds #wildoz #birdphotography

This dog is too long for our current rating system to handle. We are working internally to address this problem, but in the meantime please only send regular-length dogs. Thank you… 13/10
a thick tree trunk situated in a winter wonderland. the trunk is at least 5 feet in width, the ground is covered in several inches of snow, and some of it has caught on the bark of the tree. behind the tree stands a majestic and incredibly long husky. his head sticks out from the left side of the trunk, while his hind end pokes out from the right side. i suppose there's a world in which this could be two dogs... but that's probably not what's happening here.

Been a while since I posted a cute Echidna, so here you go! Came across this intrepid one at Mulligan's Flat. To get the shot I put my camera up on the log and shot while hiding my face out of view. Got pretty lucky I must say! #echidna #wildoz #australianwildlife

The Corymbia cultivars at the Australian National Botanic Gardens are flowering nicely. I think this my favourite, with is pretty two-tone flowers. #flowers #australianplants #plants

Kangaroo grass (Themeda triandra) illuminated by the glow of last night's sunset. This is my favourite native grass, and a key indicator species of high quality natural temperate grasslands. #sunset #photography #grass #kangaroograss #plants

Sometimes I forget how pretty Crimson Rosellas are, because they're so common. The way they contrast against a deep green background is so cool. #photography #birds #birdphotography #wildoz

Wild weather in Canberra this weekend. Seemed like storm after storm both evenings. This one looked particularly menacing as it loomed over Belconnen. #photography #weather #thunderstorm #canberra

My best timed boop of last year. Found myself at the right place at the right time (completely unplanned I might add). Took a fair bit of walking to line it up right. #canberra #photography #telstratower #australia

Golden rays of light hitting Canberra's mountain ranges one evening late last year. The Pinnacle Nature Reserve is a fantastic sunset vantage point. #photography #landscapephotography #sunset #canberra

Accidentally interrupted this sunbathing Eastern Brown Snake while walking around the wetlands a while back. It ducked into the little crack in the concrete to the right, but I did manage to snap one (thankfully in-focus) shot. Beautiful creatures! #reptiles #snakes #wildoz #wildlifephotography

A Tree waratah (Alloxylon flammeum) in spectacular bloom at the Mt Annan Botanic Garden back in spring. A native of a small area of North Queensland, it's actually a threatened species. #flowers #photography #nativeflora #wildoz #australianplants

Another adorable Echidna sighting. This one was sniffing around the base of a tree at Mulligan's Flat. I love how they can seem so busy but also so unhurried at the same time. #echidna #wildoz #wildlifephotography

Superb Parrots seem to be everywhere in Canberra in the past few years, which is nice to see for a threatened species. All the more reason to protect the dwindling numbers of hollow bearing trees in the suburban landscape. #birds #wildoz

Some delightfully dramatic skies in Canberra this evening, as we got a quick storm, followed by a pink tinged rainbow, and then a fiery sunset to finish. #photography #sunset

Check out this enormous lichen I spotted in the Bunya Mountains. Anyone have any idea what it is? #lichen
