my view of the natural world
With a beautiful bay with plenty of sand, birds, and few people, Cape Bridgewater was the destination for Fred and I recently when we had some spare time on our hands and paws. It was a little too cold that day for dipping into the water, but it was lovely to finally walk along some sand as my local coastline has only tiny sections on which to walk.
Frank has seen many things in his life, but I don’t think he’d seen a furry creature like this before – and just a couple of metres from his back door!
I was told when I first moved here that koala’s would visit the tree by my back door, and while I’ve found their droppings from time to time, this is the first real sighting I’ve had. It was especially thrilling to find the creature was quite relaxed about my presence too.
History has been made today – a female jockey has won Australia’s most prestigious horse race, the Melbourne Cup.
Congratulations to Michelle Payne who has today ridden the winner of the 2015 Cup – Prince of Penzance.
Women are still highly discriminated against in this male dominated field, and that makes her success even more special!
