Mum and Joeys enjoying a feed of our lawn.


Mother kangaroo and her two joeys came into our back lawn to have a feed in the afternoon. Joey on the right is probably a year old. In the mother's pouch is a very young joey. It would occasionally pop its head out and have a little nibble, then disappear back into the pouch with just it's legs sticking out. Bella was inside with us and kept a close eye on them. They stayed for about 20 minutes before hopping back into the bush.


Some parts of the lawn got scorched a little while back during some very hot days, but it will come back.

Bed of the Margaret River

In winter there is a raging torrent over these rocks but now there is just a tiny trickle. Bella enjoyed cooling off in one of the rock pools as she had been chasing a rabbit.

Discovered live mussels in several of the rock pools. The pools will be totally dry soon so they are very clever to survive that and the strong currents in winter.
