Parrots in a Palm Tree
Walking down the street, I sometimes feel as if I’m in a giant aviary. A cockatoo may shoot past overhead or a flash of colour reveal itself as one of the ubiquitous rainbow lorikeets. Every evening, their noisy chatter sounds from the trees just before they’re settling down to sleep. I never tire of watching them, even if the locals give me funny looks as I stand in the middle of the road, head craned back in the hope of catching a glimpse of the lively birds. This little flock of about five birds practically posed for us at ‘Backpackers in the Bay’ in Airlie Beach.
There will be no more blogging until at least Tuesday, as we’re off sailing and diving on the Pacific Star.
