Description
Thought it'd be interesting to see what different native animals have lent themselves to different stuff around the country.
Streets, landmarks, buildings, statues & parks are just some of the things that Australian Native fauna (animals) have shared their names or images with. For this locationless cache these are the requirements to log a "FIND":
* Take a photo (including your GPSr) of the object that is found - showing the name or obvious evidence of why it's a find.
* Only one of each animal may be logged. I will accept both common and scientific (latin) names - either not both.
* Animal must be native (not introduced species since the 18th century) so unfortunately cane toads, foxes and fire ants don't count!
* Only one find per cacher or team (gives everyone a chance to log - if they get in early).
* Log the co-ordinates so I can update the cache location on the listing page
There would have to be dozens possibilities to log this - let's see what you come up with. Happy Caching.
Here's my effort to start it off:
S32° 32.828' E151° 8.504' - Magpie - Magpie Street, Maison Dieu Industrial Estate, Singleton

THORNBILL Way
Being birdwatchers we were pleased to find this sign. Thornbills are cute little birds often found flitting around in the leaves. There are a few different Thornbills in the area - Brown Thornbill, Striated Thornbill and Yellow Thornbill. TFTC

Having checked the list and finding Ibis wasn't on it, I took this photo, in a new estate, south of Shepparton.
All the streets in this estate are named after birds.
One of the largest ibis rookeries in Australia is in the vicinity, and the ibis used to be the symbol on the Moira District Scout Badge, when I was a leader.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity of logging this Locationless.

Inspired by GA7102, Locationless by 12, I decided to try for 12 in 12...minutes. I dragged Gangstella along to do the camera work and navigate so I could drive safely... and our two dogs. Instead of logging a photo here, I have a video link instead. It is shaky, blurry, over and underexposed, but it does the job...just.

As you will see we had fun finding them all and the dogs loved the end of it all.

Sign on Kingaroy Cooyar Road a few klm south of Kingaroy Qld.
The bird known to most of us as the "Bellbird" is actually a Bell Miner. (Manorina Melamophrys) It is a colonial honey eater endemic to Southeastern Australia. they were given their common name because they feed exclusively on dome like coverings of certain psy;;id bugs, referred to as "bell lerps",that feed on eucalyptus sap from leaves.

Hi Subbydazz
HERON Street is located in Huonville, Tasmania.
It is the main access to the sporting complex of this country hamlet.
The heron is native to Australia, the most common being the EGRET.
Herons occur on all continents except Antarctica.
This bird, in its various forms (64 species throughout the world) are widely distributed throughout Australia.
We even have a famous holiday resort - Heron Island - named after the bird.
TFTC and cheers

"Swan Drive" near Swan Bay just north of Launceston, Tasmania.
Swans, genus Cygnus, are birds of the family Anatidae, which also includes geese and ducks. Swans are grouped with the closely related geese in the subfamily Anserinae where they form the tribe Cygnini. Sometimes, they are considered a distinct subfamily, Cygninae. There are six or seven species of swan in the genus Cygnus; in addition there is another species known as the Coscoroba Swan, although this species is no longer considered one of the true swans. Swans usually mate for life, though 'divorce' does sometimes occur, particularly following nesting failure. The number of eggs in each clutch ranges from three to eight.

Lobster Creek Road, Ulverstone, Tasmania
This road is named after the Tasmanian Giant Freshwater Lobster (Astacopsis gouldi) which is the largest freshwater invertebrate on Earth. The lobster is blue to brown in colour and is only found in northern Tasmania, in rivers and creeks that flow into Bass Strait. It is a slow-growing, large-sized lobster. Not only is it easily caught but it also has a slow reproductive rate, with male and female lobsters taking nine to 14 years respectively to reach sexual maturity. Over-fishing has resulted in the removal of breeding sized lobsters, posing a serious threat to their survival, and together with habitat loss, there has been species decline over the last 40 years and it is now listed as nationally vulnerable. A total ban on fishing for this species was introduced in January 1998. The Lobster Creek area once had a large population of the animals but they are now quite rare.

Blacksnake Road at Granton in Tasmania. Glad none of the namesakes where out and about today!
Two for the price of one! these street signs are in Stirling WA , the suburb contains dozens of bird names for streets and parks.
Fantail Rise in Diamond Creek.
When I was a kid this area was just paddocks.
My guess is that although there are many species of Fantail the local one that this street name refers to is the Grey Fantail, Rhipidura albiscapa.
The fantails are small bodied birds with long tails; in some species the tail is longer than the body and in most the tail is longer than the wing. When the tail is folded it is rounded at the end, but when spread in display or aerial foraging it has a characteristic fan shape that gives the family its name.
And, you won't find one in this now suburban area any more

The street I live on is called "Wonga". It is named after a native Australian bird, The Wonga Pigeon. The Wonga Pigeon is found along the east coast of Australia, from south-eastern Queensland to Gippsland, Victoria. It is found in dense coastal forests, rainforests and scrubs. Populations have suffered from land-clearing, fox predation and, during the 1940s, from shooting to protect crops or for the table, although numbers in many areas have now recovered.

A Brown Falcon is a small to medium-sized raptor (bird of prey). Scientific name: Falco berigora
Family: Falconidae
Order: Falconiformes
This one is black & grey so its scientific name is Falco blacgreyora.
As usual forgot my GPSr so will take another shot when I go walking nearby again. Must attach a sticker to my camera - remember the GPSr!
Thanks.

Sadly my names were taken but I loved this idea so I am including the photos, thankyou.
Saw this one in Coombabah on the Gold Coast a while ago but lost the co-ords. The park and some surrounding streets are all named after the little numbat. In addition the park is most unusual in that it is "split" between a small square park fronting Hansford Rd and another areafurther along at the corner of Hansford Rd and Numbat Crt.
This area is not far from some GC caches, indeed I continued on to find one in Coombabah Lakelands. I'm having a lot of fun doing these locationless caches so thanks for the opportunity.

Around our area we have streets named about all things: trees, famous people, US locations and also native things.
This location allows a 3 for 1 with Lowan, Miner & Minnow.
Lowan: The mallee-fowl, or lowan, is Victoria's only mound-building bird. Unlike other Australian mound-builders it prefers dry, semi-arid regions and conditions at the Little Desert National Park near Kiata suit it well.
Minnow: The south-western region of Western Australia has a unique assemblage of freshwater fishes. While the diversity is low, with only 10 native freshwater fish species, 8 are endemic and thus, are found nowhere else.
Miner: The Noisy Miner (Manorina melanocephala) is a bird common to the eastern and southern states of Australia. It ranges from northern Queensland along the eastern coast to South Australia and Tasmania.

Ibis St - look what I found while out caching. Nice to see these guys away from the dump & city park bins. As an added bonus Rosella St was nearby.
When perusing the list I noticed a pretty common Australian animal, the Wombat, was missing, and decided to try and find an example. No wombat streets near me. Found a business with the name by google, but nothing at its premises that indicate the name.
Then while in Rundle Mall in Adelaide we noticed this. Its not the name of either of the shops occupying the building, so we can only assume its the name of the building itself!

When your GPSr and camera are an iPhone it's impossible to take a photo of the gps. This is Emu Creek where the Toecutter died.

I guess a native fish qualifies as part of Australia's fauna. And we have several species of whiting available. In SA all you heard about were King George Whiting. It would have to be considered as one of the best table fish around, and South Australia is most fortunate to have the densest concentration of King George Whiting, in Australia.
This street sign isn't in South Australia however, but Tuross Heads in NSW.

Have seen this sign heaps of times before but had forgot there was a locationless cache for signs like that. But we remebered when we were going down to Nelson Bay for our 2nd caching spree. A quick stop and we had a photo taken. The sign is of "Possum Brush RD" located off the pacific HWY at Possum Brush.

WanderingAus wandered by with his WanderingMrs on our maiden voyage with our brand new caravan (our fourth caravan, but it's still exciting) and we had decided to spend a few days camped at the old timber town of Grimwade.
We were lucky enough to find the BEST spot for a caravan empty, so we set up camp and prepared for a relaxing few days. As I was moving the Challenger from in front of the caravan I was amazed to see a street sign directly opposite our camp site. You have to understand that, while there are dozens of roads and tracks in and around Grimwade, there is only ONE street sign, and that is Robin Rd.
Even more amazing, was that we managed to get photos of a Robin near the caravan, as well as photos of a number of Blue Wrens.

We are staying in Nowra for a week and came upon Lyrebird Drive. Although its already gone we also visited Kangaroo Valley.
One of Adelaide’s iconic landmarks, Eagle on the Hill Hotel, featuring a sculpture of another icon, the Wedge-tailed Eagle is situated on the old Adelaide to Mt Barker Road in the Adelaide Hills. It was once a busy stop for hundreds of travellers, from bullocks and horses to cars and trucks, a famous watering hole, and a great place for a countery. The hotel was totally destroyed by fire in the early 80’s, but was rebuilt soon after. It now stands silent following the construction of the Heysen Tunnels beneath it and the redirection of the south-eastern freeway.
The Black Swan Winery and Cafe, in the Swan Valley, in the state of the black swan.
I thought RomanSwamp and I wouldn't get one of these Naming Fun locationless caches until I remembered the Tasmanian Devil park on the peninsula. They have lots of native animals here for visitors to see as well as quarantined Devils to help save the species.
Here's a North Queensland favorite "Crocodile Cresent".Surprisingly there are very few streets named after animals in the Townsville area but there are dozens named after birds.Yes that is an antique GPS 315.Thanks SUBYDAZZ.
I was struggling to think of somewhere close by the met the criteria and thinking I'd need to pull out the Street Atlas until I finally realised that Bettong Place was right under my nose.
There are many feathered friends in this area of High Wycombe, Perth. Kookaburras, Plovers, Gannets and Brolgas are just a few.

Two Northern Territory Birds together, in the Darwin suburb of Wulagi.
Found Rosella while driving around Darwin.
Rosellas are medium-sized colourful parrots with distinctive white cheek patches. It has a red head, neck and breast, with yellowish to greenish upper parts, a yellow underbody and a yellow-green to blue-green rump, with a red undertail. The shoulders are bright blue. Females are usually similar to males, but sometimes duller and young birds are even duller and can be aged by their bill colour, which is yellow or orange, changing to off-white when mature.

Jabiru Street in Wulagi, a northern suburb of Darwin in the Northern Territory.
The Black-necked Stork, or Jabiru, is the only stork found in Australia. Standing at a height of 129 - 137 cm, with black and white body plumage, glossy dark green and purple neck and massive black bill, it is easily distinguished from all other Australian birds. The legs are long and coral-red in colour. The female is distinguished by its yellow eye. Immature birds resemble adults, but the black plumage is replaced by brown and the white plumage is duskier.
This species is restricted mainly to coastal and near-coastal areas of northern and eastern Australia. Throughout the monsoonal areas of northern Australia, the Black-necked Stork is still widespread, but fewer numbers appear southwards to eastern Australia. In the past the species was found in much of eastern New South Wales, but is now extinct throughout much of this area. The range of the Black-necked Stork has been reduced with the modification of floodplains and tall reedbeds for agriculture, mining and human settlement.

BANDICOOT LOOP - A bandicoot is any of about 20 species of small to medium-sized, terrestrial marsupial omnivores in the order Peramelemorphia. The word bandicoot is an anglicised form of the Telugu word pandi-kokku, (loosely, pig-rat) which originally referred to the unrelated Indian Bandicoot Rat.
FLYING FOX AVE - Bats of the genus Pteropus, belonging to the Megachiroptera sub-order, are the largest bats in the world. They are commonly known as the Fruit Bats or Flying Foxes among other numerous colloquial names. They live in the tropics and subtropics of Asia (including the Indian subcontinent), Australia, Oceania, islands off East Africa (but not the mainland Africa), and a number of remote oceanic islands in both the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
NABARLEK ST - The Nabarlek (Petrogale concinna), also known as the Pygmy Rock-wallaby or the Little Rock-wallaby, is a very small species of macropod found in northern Australia. It was formerly considered distinct enough to be assigned its own genus, Peradorcas, but it is now considered to belong, like the rest of the rock-wallabies, in the genus Petrogale.[

Well, this locationless cache is proving pretty popular which is good to see. Please remember to include a picture of your GPS in the photo if you can (so we know it's your photo) and remember to include the co-oridnates of your find so it can have it's location updated in the database.
Street signs are proving very popular as well, but let's see what else fits the cache requirements

This stadium, or its name is endangered, not the bluetongue itself. The name of the stadium changes every few years depending on who wants to sponsor it.
The security guard at Central Coast Leagues Club ( opposite the stadium entrance) was too cold to come out and ask what I was doing, but watched carefully from within his fortress.

This was an easy one to start off with - Kookaburra Crt, Upper Caboolture which is not far from home as the kookaburra flys. No Kookaburras about today though.
