Socialized and happy

Lately I've pulled out all the stops and have made a conscious decision to try and expose myself to all the cool stuff going on around Darwin through the buildup and the wet.

On the weekend the family spent Sunday arvo down at the Botanic gardens for a peace/non violence day in the park! There weren't many there but we had a great time! Music, Art and a great atmosphere. What a great way to spend the afternoon!

On Monday morning a friend and I ventured down to a water hole in the Mary River area to look for Gouldian Finches. We saw a couple but the photos are quite mottled also saw an array of other birds and counted five finch species! Cool! Oh and a few wallabies and a frog!
The Agile Wallabies where all around... they were quite social, most likely just thirsty.

On Wednesday we had our National Ride to Work Breakfast, about 30 people turned up at CDU and I think the total for all of Darwin was about 200! Great effort. Here's to the next one.
