Still cruising...Yorkey's Knob, Cairns.

that bird is known as the piping shrike here in S.A. or the Murray magpie

There were heaps of them too Beekay - worth a fortune no doubt!!!

He was really cute & had a loud call- that's why I noticed him Laura - and he was right at home on 'his' boat :)))) Thanks!!

Oh Robyn, this is a really nice looking bird. We don;t have these here in Illinois.

I would be content with a $1,ooo,ooo. boat in the marina too ;-)))

Thanks Janet - the Peewee was just too cute to ignore!! Yorkey's Knob was in the news today - someone wants to build a mega-resort there & incorporate a cyclone shelter in the design!!! I bet the locals will grumble about that!!

Thanks Ank :)))

Ha! We copped the westerlies on Sunday too Shirley when we came home - and we're sure feeling them!!!! Thanks!!

Thanks Florrie, Morris, Patti, snooker, Ami ( me too, he was cute & talkative!), Dave ( there was enough to keep him happy!), Cathy ( a man from Yorkshire settled here first!!!), and Suzy - LOL!! Too true!!!! Thanks all for your great comments!!

What a great collage, Rob! Your peewee bird's owner is probably still paying for his "boat", while you enjoyed one much bigger, with no " mortgage"!

Wonderful pictures Rob!!! Thank you.
So many Australian names make me smile ... Yorkey's Knob ... and Peewee bird. : )))))

Sharp looking bird. Hope you abliged him a crumb!

Love the photos! I really like the looks of the bird, it's pretty!

Excellent! Love the photo of the ship framed among the trees.

I love the pictures! Thank you Robyn!

Well said, florrie! I am enjoying the trip, Rob!

Rob, while you were hot and humid, having a coldie, we were shivering and having a hot drink :))) glad you enjoyed your time on the bigger boat :))) the bird life seems to follow you.

Beautiful photos Rob. And the info gave me a big smile☺

Beautiful pics, Rob, a bit different to when we saw it over 30 years ago! LOL. Like the peewee.
Thanks and hugs, janet

Thanks Jan - I'm pleased you liked them!
