In the city it is possums. One thing I've learnt is not to go to war with the wildlife. <br /><br />Hi Smorg. I'm sorry to say I have little time for cats. Don't you have dogs? I couldn't live without a dog, I swear.<br /><br />Susan, you do have lovely creatures, surely - let me think: squirrels? eagles? bison?wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08196036534397389760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672155175393980448.post-16596016322632862402012-10-19T11:26:21.425+11:002012-10-19T11:26:21.425+11:00That goanna is something else!

We saw a few on our Australian wanderings, though I fear one landed on the windscreen in Kakadu and its fate was probably not a happy one.<br /><br />It was amusing driving along and hearing tales of exotic home problems on the phone-ins - to the majority of your compatriots, goannas, wombats and parakeets are household pests.<br /><br />Love the quizzical king parrotDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.com
