Feeding Fred
Last year I posted an image of a wild Crimson Rosella which had trained me to bring out some feed when he arrived outside and began to sing. He seems a bit old and worn and we've given him the name of Fred. He's now trained me to hand feed him. (2 images)

Three satellites
From the heavens-above.com website I found that two Iridium satellites were to pass over us through the Southern Cross constellation. I wonder if this would be called a "double crossing"? :-) The third satellite was an unexpected bonus. One to view large.
Heading home
The Dash-8-200 aircraft arriving to take us home. This gives some idea of the tightness of the airstrip, tucked between hills - it is only about 860M long and these aircraft are among the few airliners that can use it. HFF everyone, and best wishes for the weekend.
The rainbow
A stitched panorama, best viewed large. I was very glad to have a weather resistant camera and lens at this point. :-)
Volcanic rocks
These volcanic rocks looked interesting, especially the basalt intrusions.
No wonder...
No wonder the woodhens are getting on the road: even with 10,000V, that electric fence won't stop them. :-) The note shows some endangered Lord Howe Woodhens. Here's a musical link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOKnxfrFBKM
HFF, everyone.
Pink frangipanni
Lord Howe Island has a subtropical climate, helped by warm ocean currents. It was great to see these flowering as late as May, well into the southern hemisphere autumn.
Near Old Settlement beach
Fascinating eroded rocks near the top end of the lagoon.
