Birchgrove Park, Birchgrove. Sunday, July 31st 2005.
The Laughing Kookaburra is the largest member of the kingfisher family. The chuckling voice that gives this species its name is a common and familiar sound throughout the eastern states of Australia. The loud 'koo-koo-koo-koo-koo-kaa-kaa-kaa' is often sung in a chorus with other individuals. These birds are often quite tame in suburban areas and will occasionally accept food from your hand.

A straight postcard style view of the harbour with the ferry terminals to the right. It's days like this, when the weather is perfect, that you look out across the harbour and just think "wow"! It's one of those "life's good" moments.

I have no idea what this structure is. It sits atop a circular staircase and seems to have some sort of maritime influence, as it resembles a Crows Nest from the outside.
