"Emu at Lightning Ridge"...

Lightning Ridge in the north of NSW is an isolated opel mining town has lots of colourful characters...and thats just the wildlife...I came across lots of wild goats...a couple of big roo's and plenty of emu's including this fella that was a little too close for comfort.....
