Description

The Kookaburra is also known as the Laughing Kookaburra for its unusual call. The call sounds like kook-kook kook-kook kakaka. If there are more around they will all join in like a contagious laugh. The Laughing Kookaburra is approx 47cm with a big bill. Brown crown, brown eye, dark brown ear patch and brown wings with a mottled blue patch. They can be found mostly in the Eastern area of Australia, Tasmania, and south of WA

Out and about on a beautiful autumn day to rehide some moveables we'd had for a bit and couldn't resist the chance to pick these ones up to try to do more in the Crystal Cavern. We weren't sure if they'd still be in place after the last found log but there they were just waiting for us. We'll try to get these back out again as soon as possible, thanks for the cache

We spent the long weekend in the area working through some geoart and anything else that caught our attention.
We don't often go to the moveables but figured why not. Way too many to move them all but we had a lot of fun meeting them. TFTCs

A day out for double points started on the Paradise Peninsula, Sandford then down to Tasman Peninsula and off to the middle of Tasmania to Tunbridge, (well almost) and back to Oatlands for tea with muggle Mum and Tassie Trekkers. That was foiled due to everything being shut on the public holiday. Had to resort to a monte carlo biscuit and thermos coffee! Good to catch up with family and swap some moveables. Now headed North.
