We saw the much-anticipated, much-hyped movie “Australia.” How amazing we actually got to see it in the titled country. Deborah loved it. I thought it was only okay, really a bit corny.
We’ve been enjoying the local birds. The Rainbow Lorikeets are just remarkable with their bright colors. They are the sort of bird you expect to see in a cage in a zoo, not sitting in a tree outside your front door. But there a scores of them all around where we live. They eat the frilly flowers of what I believe is called the bottle brush tree. There are many other unusual birds flitting about and making their exotic calls, all lending an air of the subtropics to our surroundings.
