Brolga

This Brolga was there to welcome us to the Takarakka campgrounds at Carnarvon Gorge.
Don't you just love that name? Ever since we checked in, I have found myself waking up in the middle of the night saying Takarakka, Takarakka. Love it.

May apologies for lack of comments. Just not able to find much time while we are on the road.
