Noosa in Queensland, Australia

Rainbow Lorikeet on the Golden Penda in the Noosa hinterland, Queensland, Australia. I was very lucky that the Golden Penda is so attractive to the native birds that this Lorikeet stayed around for a while. These aptly named beautiful Australian birds, the Rainbow Lorikeets, parrots, have incredibly brightly coloured feathers, and a distinctive screeching call. In Noosa they fly between the Noosa River and the Hinterland feeding on the rich variety of flowering/fruiting trees and shrubs. 6/31 March, 365 Colours. Archive Airings AA21 Patterns.

Amazing feathers. A water bird that is closely related to the Cormorants.

We were having coffee at Café Vin Cino on the Noosa River, looking out at the rain, when this Brig arrived to collect someone from Noosa Marina. Makepeace Island is Richard Branson’s Australian resort hideaway on the Noosa River in Queensland. (Since 2003, when it was bought by Brett Godfrey, former CEO of Virgin Australia). The island was named after former owner, Hannah Makepeace, who inherited it from Charles Nicholas in the 1900s. It is up river from Noosa Harbour, and the Brig is used as an Island transfer boat. For more information see makepeaceisland.com/ BRIG inflatable boats are designed and built in the Ukraine by a dedicated team of specialist ex-military aeronautical engineers… The boats are hand built and finished to very high standards with each stage recorded and quality checked for total accountability… BRIG are now the biggest selling RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) brand across Europe and the number one brand in Australia, Sweden and Holland. 50/365
