Life in the Rainforest


There's never a dull moment while we're looking after Rainforest Estate.  The time is going by very quickly.









The garden is always changing with plenty of colour from foliage and flowers.









Wildlife is abundant and we've been entertained by a pair of bush stone curlews raising their chick - which is now as big as its parents.







We have a very persistent sunbird which insists on trying to build a nest attached to the flyscreen on a lounge room window.  We think it might be a "decoy nest" because there seems to be a more permanent nest in a nearby tree.
 



















We see plenty of butterflies.  Brilliant blue Ulysses; and Cairns Birdwings with their birdlike wings. We've also seen our share of snakes, lizards and frogs.










We're away for a few weeks now and will be spending Christmas in Townsville.  We'll be back in Mossman in mid-January.
