It all fell apart again due to a two week interstate holiday from mid-April onwards, we went away, I saw all sorts of things but was too busy to take notes and hadn't got any kind of remote workflow setup to keep this up to date via my phone. Then I got home and thought I'd just leave it empty and back-fill.... but of course time got away from me and I did not. So here we go, today an entry, then perhaps I'll push in some of the more memorable days from Tasmania
Today, a cool Sunday afternoon ride, out along the Scotchmans creek trail to Jells park, down the Dandenong creek and Eastlink trails to Yarraman, then home along the Djerring trail. I'd thought that it would be a cockatoo kind of a day, there were small flocks of Corellas[1] calling as they flew over, a bunch of Sulphur-crested cockatoos[2] busy destroying the eucalypt blossom in a park, and a flock of twenty to thirty Galahs[3] digging up grass roots on a sports oval as I rode past... but an unexpected sight in Jells park made for today's title.
Riding in to Jells park from the west and following the high-tension lines down the hill there was a small mob of kangaroos[4] almost right alongside the bike path -- something I've never seen before in this park, although a colleague who lives nearby says he's occasionally seen roos, usually on the other side of the creek in the bushland area. Frustratingly, just down the hill there was yet another instance of the local dog owners ignoring the signs and leash laws with their dogs racing back and forth across grass, park & bike path, hopefully they'd stay far enough away that they wouldn't see the roos and the roos wouldn't see the dogs and panic
