HFF on our paddock fence, Queensland. It seems Kookaburras have developed some resistance to the Cane Toad poison. They bash the Cane Toad and eat the undersides, avoiding the poison sac on the shoulders (hopefully. Eew!!

Perth, Western Australia The Bell Tower includes the twelve bells of St Martin in the Fields, which are recorded as being in existence from before the 14th century and recast in the 16th century by Queen Elizabeth I. The bells were again recast between 1725 and 1770 by three generations of the Rudhall family of bell founders from Gloucester in England, under the order of the Prince of Wales who was later crowned as King George II. They are one of the few sets of royal bells and are the only ones known to have left England. From one of London’s most famous churches, in Trafalgar Square, the St Martin-in-the-Fields bells have rung out to celebrate many historic events such as, England’s victory over the Spanish Armada in 1588, The World War II victory at El Alamein in 1942, ringing in the New Year at Trafalgar Square for more than 275 years, celebrating the coronation of every British monarch since King George II in 1727, the homecoming of Captain James Cook after his voyage of discovery in 1771. On his return to London in 1771, the bells of St-Martin-in-the-Fields, the bells of the admiralty, rang out to welcome back a hero of the Age of Discovery. This fact adds a distinctively Australian connection to the bells. thebelltower.com.au

Australia is a vast and ancient land mass, with a relatively small population. Most people cling to the areas on the western, southern, and eastern coasts, the centre being sparsely populated due to the relatively hot and dry climate conditions. So, there is a great affinity with the coast and the ocean. So this photo for World Photography Day 2022 celebrates the ocean and ancient rock formations. We are lucky that when we pop down to our local library, just a few minutes away, we can have this experience, seeing the waves crashing near the ocean pool on our closest beach in New South Wales, Australia.
