kangaroos!

at the weekend we took Tonica out to the Perth Hills. The Perth Hills are the Darling Range just on the outskirts of the city. We've been cycling up in John Forrest National Park before and we thought we'd take the folks out for some bushwalking. Unfortunately our walk was cut short due to a bushfire earlier in the week and we could still see one part smoldering. But we got to check out the amazing views, lots of Xanthorrhoea (commonly known as grass trees or blackboys), saw some parrots and kookaburras (no pix - by the time i'd changed lenses on the camera, they'd flown away, their laugh echoing in my ears) and saw some roos close up! Perfect for the visitors.
