Nicely done sir!

Tarakiwa

Very nice! The croc in the 2nd picture really looks angry!! Maybe he did not want his picture to be taken!

AnimalRights

Excellent pictures...one slight nag and this is just that, they seem to be posing for you and if it was one picture yeah not too bad but one after the other it's more noticeable.

#1 and #7 are my favs.

Mellor

some nice snaps there,
one thing i'd say is that the DoF in the second is a little shallow

CabanSail

Cannot see the images at work, but have had five of those in my back garden at various stages.

Nice work, I've been keeping an eye on your travels via flickr, looks like you've driven all the way from Perth to somewhere near Darwin, must have been cool.

When I went out this morning I really wished that I was going back to Oz this winter.......

Borderfox

Great shots, did the Emu take a peck at you? they always love something shiny.

Weidii

Very cool, I especially like the birds and the roos.

TheNorthBank

Wow, very nice. The 2nd croc one looks like he's coming to get you!! lol

sheesh

the emu and the owl ones look like they are really pissed off with you for some reason
and the kangaroos look suspicious !

think they are pretty cool shots. the only fly in the ointment is the owl one as the beak seems to be out of focus

tywy

Did you get to see a cassowary?!

We were up north looking at all these signs and never saw one even though we went looking!

Lovely photos btw, the bat is so cute!

ODD-JOB

I think the last one is the "St. Andrews cross Spider" !!

Thanks all for the comments, yeah i guess the shallow depth of field for the tawny frogmouth doesnt work the best but its his eyes I was after focus on...they were the craziest eyes of any animal Ive ever seen...

Yeah, drove from Perth up the coast and up to Darwin - was pretty unreal...over in Queensland at the moment but been off the map for a while...just got my second year so will get to do the rest of the country properly and complete the loop back to Perth at some stage next year

The Emu was definitely pissed off with me but not the bird...he just lookds that way because it was day time and he just sat there all day...a different animal at night altogether...his name is animal too after animal from the muppets

Looks like you're correct - the ranger in Litchfield was obviously full of sh*t so...bloody australians

Fantastic, I especially love the first one.
