Animal Crackers

The Australian reptile authority apparently has three words of advice regarding snakes: LEAVE THEM ALONE. We are all more than glad to comply.

Yesterday we had two sightings of a most magnificent creature right in front of us; a dragon. He is a Goanna with strippy feet and neck (I think) and he probably lives in the garden at Coompartoo where we stay, going to make enquiries about him tonight. I think he is my soul brother. His tail is really about 4 feet long and in evening we saw him scaling a tall tree to glean the last bit of heat from the sun with which to toast his very long nose. He runs a bit like crocodile.There are other more esoteric vibrations to him that stray into the metaphysical and possibly aboriginal realms. For Mr Poodle he represents the opportunity to let go of past attachments and grief. A new page can be turned with the help of Iguana, who has been named Terry Pilkington.

Skipping ahead; we saw what we thought was our first Kangaroo on a high mountain dirt track that ran through the rain forest. We only saw his tail end disappearing and he seemed somewhat small for a kanga. We now think he may have been a Padermelon (Sp?). Will report further. Also on the bird life which is stunning and hilarious musically speaking.

Still a few days behind but will catch up, internet cafes willing.
