The boyf and I took the train out to the Dandenongs on Saturday. Did a fantastic walk through mountain ash forest and saw lots of birdlife and evidence of wombats (cuboid poop!). Amazing how far you can get on a $2.90 weekend travel card…

something to amuse the right of centre readers of this blog - treehugging at the end of the walk

I don’t think I can upload AVIs to this blog, but we also saw and recorded a lyrebird in full song, mimicking kookaburras, blackbirds and other sounds it had heard in the forest. If you want to see really amazing lyrebird footage, check out the BBC’s David Attenborough’s piece on youtube.
