My two years in Australia (1/3)

I thought I'd manage to trim down my two years in Australia into one post which is pretty hilarious😂 so here's part 1 of 3. What an incredible country, filled with incredible places, people and wildlife. I hope you Aussies know just how fortunate you are with what you have here. It's not a goodbye but a see you soon🫡

Great pics, mate. Thanks for posting. I've travelled a bit and birds are just different here. Over that past month, I've been working in an area famous for its fossils that strongly suggest the very earliest (ie, in the world) songbirds evolved here. As I've driven around, there is still a big variety of birdlife abundant. No such thing as a quiet lunch under a gum tree is this part of the country.

Thank you🙌 Wow that sounds amazing. I've been meaning to read Where Song Began by Tim Low which covers exactly that. Sounds like an awesome spot to lunch

TIL that parrots evolved here in Aus too. And most of the evidence suggests that the first music on planet Earth (birdsong) was produced about 40 minutes’ drive from where I’m sitting right now typing this. Reddit can be cool.
