On my birthday, my wife treated me to a spa & massage and a lunch at The Lakehouse in Daylesford. On the balcony, there were these three kookaburras that apparently come everyday for a free feed of kangaroo meat (how spoilt!).

#1


#2


#3


Which one's your favourite?

I like the baby in #2. It is like Orville (the big green ventriloquist's dummy). We don't get Kookaburra's but have seen them on the stamps. Great shots with good clarity. I might be a bit wary of those big bills though.

Wow, a lot of pictures indeed.

I still remember this trip - it was on my birthday three years ago, but we cut the trip short because my sister-in-law gave birth to her first baby girl.

Thanks for looking at my pics!

I like number 2 they both look so cheeky! Brings back very pleasant memories of my Oz trip where we used to see them sitting on the telephone lines just chilling out. Very cool thanks for sharing.

Great shots - my fav would be #2 - and also a fascinating sound clip.
