Home among the gum trees

This little chap decided to hang around our tree for a while.  These are not the type of trees they prefer but koalas will eat other varieties when their favourite is not available. 



 
 
Breakneck Cutting, Tea  Tree Gully
 
 
 
Breakneck Cutting is on the road from our house to our son's house in Mannum, so we are often on this road.  Breakneck Cutting was originally named Blyth's Cutting in 1863 but I have always called it Breakneck, seems to fit better as in the 1860's it would have been a terribly steep hill to climb with bullock carts and according to records there were many accidents.
 
 



The galahs are always coming down for a drink


We usually only get two galahs coming in to drink

Having a good look at me


Camera shy

How do I get through here?
 
Hope you enjoy my photos.  I do love to get out and enjoy nature and take a few photos too.
 
See you again soon.  Enjoy your week.
