2026 is flying by, I last posted in January about edition 2 of the Lorikeet’s series.

It’s been very wet in Far north queensland this year, and if you live here, you know rain and humidity make for a mouldy environment. Everything seems damp, however the lawn and plants love it and grow wildly as if they are in a green house. thank fully the weather is now cooling off, soon there will be no need to mow weekly. Phew!

I am very happy i have plenty of wildlife here to enjoy. the afternoon just prior to dusk the Rainbow Lorikeet’s fly in to the palm trees, they make so much noise before they settle for the night. I’ve had wild pigs tearing up the park next to me, they make a dreadful muddy mess.

The Sulphur crested cockatoos visit briefly and demolish all the mangos on the tree in the park. i also have a family of curlews who live in my front garden and take on the role of security for the house. I also noticed a tree snake living in the front garden sunning himself in between showers of rain.

my next Lorikeet project has commenced and expected to be completed by end of June.

This project involves using all the pictures from the ten books and creating a colouring book that Children will be able to enjoy whilst discovering the wildlife other than lorikeet’s hidden in the pictures.

Until next time.
