This morning Doug came inside carrying a young blue-tongued lizard he'd found in the garden. Using tweezers, we removed five ticks from one ear and three from the other, and then let it go in the shrubbery, with chopped up banana in case it was hungry.
On our way to Cowes (the "capital" of Phillip Island, but quite small) and only half a kilometre from home, we stopped to let a family of Cape Barren geese cross the road. The female led, while the male took up the rear, shepherding his five half-grown chicks safely off the road. These proud grey geese have a distinctive pale green patch on their heads, graze green grass and live and breed on islands in Bass Strait.
