An Eastern Osprey with it’s catch of the day 🐟🦅

Ospreys patrol the coast looking for medium-sized fish, which they then tear apart to eat instead of swallowing whole. We were lucky enough to see this beautiful bird of prey on East Wallabi Island in the Houtman Abrolhos Islands.

A Common Wallaroo (euro) 🦘 This species occur

A Common Wallaroo (euro) 🦘

This species occurs throughout mainland Australia, preferring mountainous areas with rocky hills and outcrops. Wallaroo legs are therefore shorter to improve agility, whereas kangaroo legs are longer to increase speed on flat ground. Wallaroos are also mostly solitary creatures, whereas kangaroos are social animals who live in large groups called mobs.
The name “wallaroo” is related to the size of the animal, which is between a kangaroo and wallaby. In fact, one of the main differences between kangaroos, wallaroos and wallabies is their size!

Dolphin Magic 🐬✨ The dolphins at Monkey Mia

Dolphin Magic 🐬✨

The dolphins at Monkey Mia are Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins. This sub-species of bottlenose dolphin is different to the common bottlenose dolphin, being smaller with more teeth and a spotty underbelly. This species is only found in tropical and sub-tropical waters of the Indian Ocean, Indo-Pacific region and western Pacific Ocean. The common bottlenose on the other hand is found in temperate and tropical waters all over the world.

The amazing wild dolphins of Monkey Mia 🐬

More than 2,000 dolphins live in the Shark Bay Area, and some 300 in the waters around Monkey Mia. Only two are fed during the dolphin experience, which counts for a very small amount of their daily food intake. This means they must still fish for themselves as well.

This was such a special encounter, as not everyone is allowed into the water during the experience…just a lucky few 😍

Who doesn’t love an outback spa 😍

This ‘natural spa’ can be found in South Australia’s Coward Springs. Sitting at 29 degrees centigrade, with plenty of mineral salts, it’s the perfect place to relax after a long day, or to start the day off right.

Coward Springs Campground is located in the middle of Wabma Kadarbu mound springs Conservation Park, on the edge of an outback wetland. There is history, wildlife and geology (not to mention Lake Eyre nearby) to discover here, making it well worth a visit!

The Pound 😮
Wilpena Pound, or Ikara, is a natural amphitheatre of mountains found in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia.

It’s serrated mountains and sunken amphitheatre mimic the shape of a crater, but to put the Pound into perspective, Western Australia’s infamous Wolf Creek Crater is 61 hectares. Wilpena Pound is over 8000 hectares. Incredible!
