Brisbane

Arriving at 08:15, we were expecting a long delay getting through immigration, partly because of the questionnaire asking if we’d been in contact with farm animals in the previous 30 days. We ere directed to “quarantine” wondering how long we would be kept there, hours, days , weeks? We were asked two questions, had we been in contact with pigs and were our shoes clean? Happy with our answers we were sent on our way. We were out of the terminal by 9:30.

Mike, Bun’s brother, was waiting and drove us home. The day was spent (for me) sneezing and blowing my nose, getting through a box of tissues very quickly.

The Butcher Bird came to be fed a bit of meat. Mike feeds a variety of birds, the butcher, kookaburras, cockatoos and lorikeets. Magpies and other birds are sent away. Renate is not so keen, the birds poo everywhere and can be quite destructive, especially the cockatoos.

Early dinner, bed by 8:30, wait for the down chorus!Leggi altro
