Visitors to My Home

My home with Tami who has now sadly passed on

I am lucky enough to live on four acres 16km from the centre of Brisbane. We have suburbia all around this isolated pocket of 500 four acre blocks. The Government is unfortunately in the process of rezoning us from rural to urban but hopefully I will be able to remain here until I retire from Public Health Microbiology in 12 years time.  One of the great joys of being here (apart from the open air, not being too close to neighbours and rural lifestyle) is the many birds and animals who visit. Let me introduce some of them.....
