Bush - Butcherbird - Beach

BUSH 

Within an hours drive from where we live in South East Queensland, we are spoiled for choice go Bush or Beach.  

While we don't own a 4WD, it does not mean we can't access some of the beautiful places around our area. A lot of the forest drives are 2WD. There may be a lot of dirt, and in some places it maybe a bit rough, though if you drive to conditions you can see what is around the place; like some lookouts that allow Abseiling and Climbing. One such place is the Brooyar State Forest at Glastonbury.

I don't think I will be jumping off the cliff anytime soon. 
The view from the top looks good to me.

This photo is actually looking down to the ground through the gap in the rocks.

BUTCHERBIRDS

While mowing the lawn the other day, a family of Pied Butcherbirds came to see what they could eat.
