Here's some old Molonglo infrastructure- a stile for getting around down at the river.


Here's something new- a giant footbridge spanning the Molonglo. This wasn't here last time I walked along this section of the river!


The footbridge will be linking new suburbs.

The first Meadow Argus I've seen this spring. Meadow Argus Junonia villida amongst the Jacaranda blossoms Jacaranda mimosifolia. Almost all butterflies I've seen this spring in ACT have been Painted Ladies Vanessa kershawi.




Jacaranda mimosifolia flower- the plant originates in Brazil.


Australin White Ibis Threskiornis moluccus with breeding plumes and scarlet skin on the back of the head. The one in front has a healed broken leg.


Views of Harbour Bridge, giant cruise ship and Opera House all at once.
