The Wonderful World of Australia

You have some great pics there boy my fav has to be the but I also love the little bird above him, very cute and those are little Tazmanian Devils aren't they :?: It looks an amazing place to visit. As it's a sanctaury are all the animals rescued for various reasons GR? I am not brilliant on Lizzards but is that a Monitor Lizzard at the beginning of your second lot of pics? he looks a rather cool Dude

Nice share there boy

littlewid-x-

Great pics GR thanks for sharing them. It looks like a really lovely place to go, and relax, and it certainly has a wide variety of Animals. That looks like a Lace Monitor to me, and I also love the Owl to.
WS

I am liking boy

I think the giant lizard was an Iguana, and he was probably my favourite character there. That little bird flew right down next/near to me, and sat there for a long time (it was in a bird aviary section). Those two furry critters are indeed tasmanian devils!

I am not sure if all the animals are rescued, but you could be right LW. WS, it's a very nice place regardless of the animals; lots of nice creeks and picnic areas.

I think you'll find its a Monitor GR.

That really sounds even better GR with creeks and places to picnic. Hopefully it's well away from the fires ravaging parts of Australia. Some of the tempretures we are hearing on the news, and the scenes we are seeing from Tasmania and parts of Australia are unbelievable

WS
Boy Hmmm. I thought Lai was the AKA Queen, but I think you've got as many alias's as she has

I think it depends on the size Doogs there's a chance it could be a Komodo, there are some in Aussie Zoos. Lacy Monitors can grow up to 6ft 10ins, and Komodos over 10ft. They both look similar in pics. I will try to find a Komodo pic to compare
Your right they are Bats, in actual fact they are retired Bats men, since we thrashed em in the Ash's Starting left to right Ponting, Langer, Hussey, ect and the list goes on
WS

Oooooo boy you need to get back to WS on that one........don't be LBW'd by him

Glad you likey boy, has a sense of being forever young

Whatever the Lizzard is he is a fine specimen of a Lizzard and how lovely that the little bird came and rested near you, he is such an a adorable little thing......or was it a little female bird......did you practice any chat up lines for your dating GR

The sanctuary sound slovely with all the picnic areas and creeks, so much niicer for all the animals as well and obviously te birds are catered for, they even have their own table going by your pictures

LW at the end of that post your supposed to say.
I'm not one to cause trouble BUT

WS

for monitoring that WS

I have to sheepishly say that I haven't even heard too much myself about the fires in Tasmania and so forth. I did catch a little of it on the telly a few days back, but I hardly ever watch television (find it usually a waste of time and prefer DVD's) and don't get the newspaper. I suppose I know that bad stuff happens in the world; maybe I see that hearing of some of it now is pointless? I don't know, perhaps I am ignorant then, or if not, will become so!

As for the fires, these would be our first bad ones for three years? I think it was three or four years ago that we had devastating fires in Victoria. It really was horrible; there were a huge number of deaths. It was far worse than any other bushfire in history. In Australia we will always have them, people just have to accept that in certain situations they need to leave their house and not try to save it. It would be great to live in the bush for the nature, but then you would be worried every time that summer arrives.

Lai posted my nicknames recently...somewhere. I think there were already about five!

Yes Doogsy, bats indeedy. Komodo? And I thought I was off with Iguana! Maybe you ought to join the bats in their enclosure

And we can get some more blood back to your head

WS, don't defend Doogs; I've got her on the ropes here!

Oh Foxrobin. From ashes to ashes, amen! You Poms really go over the top when you win an ashes series. It's almost like when we won the America's Cup in '83. Cause you know, it's such a rarity. Whereas when we win we don't even celebrate, since its kind of expected

LW, I am forever young, unlike some of our Aussie batsman who thought they were I thought Ponting was going to be like Mike Gatting!

As for that little bird, it flew away after a little while, so I definitely need the practise

GR - those are great photos, what an amazing collection of animals/birds they have there. Not sure about the lizzardy thing, over to WS for that (he's ace on researching things)

Nicknames - now where did I list yours GR? That might take a while to locate but yes you have a lot of AKA's (at least 5)

Lai

Off the top of my head we have:

GR
Profound Parrot
Giraffey Boy
Onesie Man

That's all I've got. Then there are all those ones people have called me in their heads but haven't posted

WS

GR - that's it but also Kookaburra

I think you've covered them though.

Well done Onesie Man
aka
all the rest ....

Lai

Talking of nicknames I found a new one for Mrs S yesterday. Chuckle Butty

WS

WS - not sure I dare ask .................... ?

Lai

Well Mrs S did. I said because you always make me laugh, and your good enough to eat
She said I was a creep
I said yes, but you have to admit I'm good at it
To which she agreed
WS

WS that is just so sweet

Lai

WS

Does Mrs 'S' stand for spider? If so then you being a CREEPy crawly is totally natural

It stands for Sweetheart, and my S stands for SuperSmoothie
I think you might need me to come along on your first internet date, you could do with some proper chatup lines, and I'm good in Pubs to
WS

WS - that's a snappy answer and not a bad idea at all

Lai

WS will say and do anything to get himself into a pub......he's deffo a creepy crawlie when smoothing into a pub

littlewid-x-

WS as my wingman doesn't sound like a bad idea at all!

Super smooth starling and profound parrot working the women. Who could resist our charms?

- That's a no comment from me you two.

Lai

Of course it is Lai. We leave women speechless.

To right Buddie
