How To Make A Door For A Hut

Albury when you hold us

news, sorry I do not update much right now, but I admit being overwhelmed at work. Finally the weekend I'll take the time to tell our last few weeks.

The weekend of 23/24 October.

I left early Saturday morning for the Sydney airport as I had planned to visit my friend Brooke. Brooke is the Australian who had sympathized with 1yr ago when I started the circus Aerialize. She now lives in South Africa but was in Australia for 7semaines for work.


Directorate therefore situated between Canberra Albury and Melbourne, 1h10 flight only!
When I arrived, unfortunately it was raining while Cyril was delighted by a beautiful sun in Sydney. Fortunately for me the weather has turned and then he started to rain in Sydney until the end of the weekend, I have enjoyed a glorious time.

Albury is a small city of just over 42,000 inhabitants, but rather quiet in which to live. While living in Albury is very different from Sydney, given that the 15 minutes find yourself downtown and in 1 hour you go around, yet a certain point of view this should not be disagreeable to find a town not over-populated. Then that we must even love the quiet and lack of activities admittedly there is not much to do.
Phew I was there for aps cultural activities in the city but to see Brooke and with this nice weather we went for a walk of about 8kms along the Murray River to the lagoon. Rather see gorgeous landscapes:






We enjoyed the sun to the end with a picnic in the Botanic Gardens, which is really a haven of peace. I really like the Botanic Gardens in general, but in cities they are invaded by the world, here at least not worry, even by sunny Sunday!






























The little anecdote about my return flight is still worth mentioning:
- my flight was Sunday at 18:15
- I arrived 1 hour in advance for security
- so I had to wait in this tiny airport with only attraction for a coffee.
- around 18h we embarked
- Around 18.30 we were still on the plane and we still did not take off, we had an ad telling us they were doing routine checks and had a safety measure RE-
control - they have to 18.40 taken off the plane because the tests were inconclusive. So we were always safe return airport
- to 19.15 they have announced that a technician arrived on flight from Melbourne to 20.10 To control our aircraft
- to 21.00 we just had an announcement to tell us that for time they worked on the technical problem but knew nothing
- meanwhile, I waited and then had the right a coupon of $ 6 to eat at Café - about 4 € ;-) had no battery on my laptop, so I spent my money in the public phoned to call Cyril, my boss at work and Brooke
- to 22.00 was the "fabulous" news that I could spend the night in Albury at the motel and take another plane the next day at 17.15 because the others were all full
- 22.05 negotiating to go to sleep at Brooke and not at the motel and have all of even the taxi round trip paid, was to change my ticket, tell my boss that I will not be at work on Monday
- to 22:10 they announced that the plane was repaired but it was too late to enter Sydney because of the curfew from 23h. But the aircraft would in Melbourne, we would spend the night at the motel and the next day at 6am we have a plane to Sydney.

=> Er No Thanks. I told Cyril who was reassured that I do not go back on that plane "repaired" and go to sleep at night for Brooke.

=> Conclusion I was slammed by these 5 hours of waiting, but I gave me the opportunity to spend more time with Brooke.
My plane from 17.15 the next day had no problem - PHEW - even if for the next comic I was sitting in the same seat the next day the same woman who had also remained on Albury night. The plane arrived early but they had to wait 25minutes on the tarmac to get out because no bay was free.

Albury is not far from Sydney but it may take some time to come ;-) 23h!

Meaning Of Rubber Band Around Wrist

Bouddi

Sunday, October 10, being the anniversary of Denis, we went hiking in the National Bouddi Park, located north of Sydney with Charlotte Denis and Vincent.
Denis had ordered for her birthday echidna and whale.
The walk we chose is a loop 8kms from passing through Bouddi Lockout, the footprint Bouddi Costal Walk (hike longer than we probably will again) into Little Beach and returned to the starting point.
So we made our lunch break at Bouddi Lockout offers us a beautiful ocean view and can see the floor towers Sydney. Later in the trip, we made a stop at another lockout, and Denis whales sighted off several times but each time when nobody else was looking ...

We also met a very shy echidna not, or deaf and blind, because he did not put in a ball when we came near him. Denis has seen the two animals he had asked, I think the fairy was still around.

arrived at Little Beach we found that it was possible to camp, but at $ 14 per night per person, with barbecue and toilet only, it seemed a bit excessive. the evening we all gathered in Manly about a Thai meal and a good chocolate cake to celebrate the event. PS: A little game I discover the fauna and flora of Australia, with overnight accommodation in Manly to win for him who gives us the names of these two flowers :-)

Four Year Old Birthday Rhyme

Taronga Zoo

Sunday, October 17, we went to Taronga Zoo, Zoo, Sydney Mosman located. It was the birthday of Julie last year, but every time because of time or because we had other things planned, we never had the opportunity to go there .

Zoo is Located in Mosman and offers a beautiful view over the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, it also has a large section on Australian wildlife, and involved in many backup program, because as many know of many species in Australia are being of disappearance, and this was mainly because of the impact that humans have on nature.

At the entrance we saw koalas, and I think it's the fact that we arrived early, or they take drugs, but we saw them move, eat, and even jump from tree to tree!

Then we were in a part of the park or we can see animals walking in complete freedom around us, quite surprising for a zoo.
In order: Emu, Cassowary, Red-necked wallaby, quokka:

Then we went to see the Tasmanian devil: a guide told us that within 25 years there would be no Tasmanian devil-free because some disease they have contracted. For this reason, a backup program was created in Australia to reintroduce healthy animals, once all the sick animals will be extinct. Luckily this program is because after the disappearance of the Tasmanian tiger, if the devil were to disappear there would be no natural predators in Tasmania ...

We then went to see the marine animals: seal, sea lion, leopard seal and penguin, and we were able to attend a "show".















Then we saw the elephants, the Taronga Zoo is proud of its elephants because they had two births, one year where the latter was not small at all to survive, this is passed on the news during a week, but ultimately he's fine:

The image remains:
giraffe, chimpanzee, brown bear, meerkat (mongoose), red panda, Aldabra tortoise (tortoise of the Seychelles), golden pheasant (golden pheasant), black cockatoo, mandarin duck (mandarin duck).

Price For Changing A Termistat

Nelson Bay National Park and Barrington Tops - or how to save a baby wallaby

-
On Monday, October 4th is a holiday in New South Wales due to Labor Day, with Cyril we decided to go on weekends.

Despite the cloudy and slightly rainy we did not want to stay in Sydney, so I prepared the camper van mode and hop on the left side of Port Stephens to 3 hour drive (well with the van and the caps say ;-) 4

We arrived around 15:30 and visited quietly Nelson Bay between two micro-showers. Nelson Bay is a small port town of Port Stephens Bay, popular for its sand dunes, beaches, fishing and cruises to dolphin and whale. It is also a known place to go looking for koalas as a result of many habitats like Anna Bay, Lemon Tree Passage or Tilligerry.

Despite the time we had a good idea to go see the tip: Boat Harbour and enjoy the view. To our surprise we could see from afar two whales and a dolphin. It is the period where the whales come down to the Antarctic after giving birth in the warm waters of the north.














Sunday we headed to Barrington Tops National Park about 2 hours drive from Port Nelson, reputed to be very quiet and not very easy access.
We had planned a hike of 16 kms along the Williams River: Rocky Crossing Track . A bit monotonous because of the grayness and our habit of walking along the coast, we still enjoyed the quiet of the forest and the numerous waterfalls of the Williams River. Bad luck for us with the rain, we saw few birds, but fortunately we had already seen on the road multitudes of Rosellas, Corel, and Parrots. In the end
tour an hour before arriving, we had the good surprise to see a sneak Superb Lyrebird with its long and beautiful tail. A few minutes later we caught one in echydna the bushes trying to hide.















On the way back, after about 1h30 - well if we can call it the road considering the quality of tar .. . Cyril suddenly saw a dead kangaroo in the middle of the road, slowing up but impossible to avoid or stop completely a 4x4 sticking too close to us. The kangaroo is passed between our wheels and even if he was dead I asked Cyril to stop and turn around to:
1 - check he had a live baby in the bag: small explanation rule in Australia is when you see a kangaroo freshly say "typing" on the road to stop and check if it has a live baby in the pocket
2 - to least put the kangaroo on the low side

Cyril has turned around and I went there and hoo to my surprise, he or rather She had a baby in the bag which was still moving!
So I went to get a towel in the van and I first put the mother on the lower side of the road. Then I took my courage in both hands, and extricated the baby of the pocket despite the hours blood. I was not sure where to start, but the baby was injured and after a few glances I could see he had a tail 3 / 4 cut. Once the baby wrapped in a towel and also completely panic in my arms, we were supposed to call WIRES or Wildlife Injuries, but hey why was it necessary to 1 - have the number 2 - have enough network.
We were in the middle of nowhere but there were few houses. So we went door to door and the second house of very nice people have phoned us and then gave an address where to go. After 40minutes of
Highway - 8 pm to 2 am kind after the baby out of the bag we got Val in a lady of about 75years adorable as all who knew what to do and collect the wounded kangaroos.















Firstly enough tank on a possible survival of wallaby and kangaroo not, she has administered for pain pills and give Special kangaroo milk and then wrapped in a cloth bag to keep warm - important - as in the pocket of his mother and rests.
The rescue process Baby kangaroos is quite complex, it must pass already 1month after the accident to be sure they are safe - no internal bleeding ... - Then they go up to the age of 1 year with the likes of Val in small houses with gardens are being fed all 3/4heures with special milk. Then they go into a house with more land up to 18 months and then still more land until they are 2 years and then released into the wild.
After this eventful evening we went to sleep at a rest area and have had trouble getting to sleep!

The next morning we had to research program koalas in Lemon Tree Passage, and despite walking around 7kms Tilligerry Habitat and we have not seen one! The weather was gray and rainy and in these cases it is even harder to see - we shall return. Here
still some photos of our walk: no but many koalas kookaburras, Corel and bottle brush ;-)

We then went to beach for 1mil Cyril can surf but the conditions were really terrible not to be returned so that we see Val for news of our little protected.


Results so far:
This little Red-Necked Wallaby about 5 months - it was just hair - is a boy! Val has therefore called Cyril ;-)
He underwent an operation for his tail which has unfortunately to be cut completely. If it passes this month it may be a problem in the long run using many tail wallabies in the wild especially when fighting .. But before then waiting to see if he survives the month ;-)
He eats well and seems very fit, is already something. Stay tuned.

While I'm here a little update on Lucky the baby pig that we rescued last year, with the Irish. After living several months with Suzanne at the police station of Ti Tree, Lucky has become pretty huge.
Suzanne has found a family with children and a lot of ground for her. Lucky lived a few months happy and part of the family, unfortunately in April she developed an illness and the family of the sting. We are still happy that she could live happily all these months of probation.
