OH! OH! STOP! ROOS!

We went to Geelong today to look at more RVs and found two more "possibles". We are getting there!

On the way home we decided to make a side trip over to the You Yangs which is a Regional Park in the state of Victoria -- http://www.parkweb.vic.gov.au/1park_display.cfm?park=208. It is well known for its mountain bike trails. Unfortunately by the time we got there it was closed to incoming auto traffic and the visitor center had also closed. Trox took a short walk and found some super cool birds. Unfortunately most of his pics were too dark but get a load of this video!
We think this guy is a Galah 
(Eolophus Cacatua roseicapillus)
Cape Barren Goose (Cereopsis novaehollandiae)
Saw this guy -
New Holland Honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae)
 - at the petrol station
We also found an area known as the Serendip Sanctuary, another regional park -- http://www.parkweb.vic.gov.au/1park_display.cfm?park=182 -- which is a bird sanctuary but also has mammals and we saw ROOS!!!!!
OH! OH! STOP! ROOS!

  1. Galahs are also know as "Rosies". Ornery little buggers.
