Love all these photos :) I'll have to get the camera out and contribute. I'm living about as close to the border of suburbia and rurality (??) as possible, beautiful place but a very noisy main road out the front :ana:

I can't complain (well, not too much :P) but I'm definitely looking forward to finding somewhere that will allow me to get a-cultivatin' -- my landlords are impeccably neat and probably wouldn't appreciate my style of gardening (free-for-all...)

I'll be settling for some hanging baskets once I figure out what I want to grow :)

Reviving this thread with a couple of visitors tonight.. Heaviest rain in yonks brought these ancient critters, Fletcher's Frog or Sandpaper Frog, Lechriodus fletcheri, out of the forest floor for a root in my bird bath

And not so much of a backyard visitor - but a back of bed one a few weeks ago. Was lying in bed reading a magazine close to midnight (couldn't sleep) when I felt a movement about 10cm to my right.. Twas the critter in the photo attached. A 1.2m long (and deadly) Stephens Banded Snake, Hoplocephalus stephensii  - it was a chilly night and she was looking to snuggle under my doona.. A bit freaky....

My ever changing and expanding food forest on Tamborine Mountain that I share with oodles of birds and Pythons and a few Banded snakes and copious amounts of mircobes and mycelium galore

Looks like PNG Highlands. Flowers and Veggies all growing happily together.

Satin bowerbird.  (female)

We get regent bower birds up here as well, they are absolutely stunning! I only ever catch a glimpse though, I’ve never been able to get a photo.
