Kookaburra

Kookaburras are terrestrial tree kingfishers of the genus Dacelo native to Australia and New Guinea, which grow to between 28 and 47 cm (11 and 19 in) in length and weigh around 300 g (11 oz). The name is a loanword from Wiradjuri guuguubarra, onomatopoeic of its call. The loud, distinctive call of the laughing kookaburra is widely used as a stock sound effect in situations that involve an Australian bush setting or tropical jungle, especially in older movies.

Have a good HFF
The Neville Bonner Bridge links both sides of the Brisbane River, forming a stronger connection between the popular South Bank arts and cultural precinct.
The Star Brisbane and broader Queen’s Wharf precinct is expected to attract an estimated 1.4 million additional visitors each year, blending thoughtfully restored heritage buildings with stunning contemporary architecture and beautifully landscaped riverside destinations.

Australian Pied Oystercatcher

The Australian Pied Oystercatcher is found in coastal areas throughout the Australian continent except for areas of unbroken sea cliffs such as the Great Australian Bight. They seldom allow a close approach and are readily disturbed by people.
I find the eyes hypnotizing!

The World Turns by Michael Parekowhai - HFF
|
|
|

Constructed in bronze by New Zealand artist Michael Parekowhai, "The World Turns" shows a 16-foot-high (five-meter-high) elephant frozen in time as it topples from a boulder. It looks as though the behemoth just finished a slow, graceful fall, having landed balanced on its head.
Get closer to the artwork, and you'll realize the topsy-turvy elephant is staring right at a little kuril that's curled up nearby, scratching its tail. The kuril, a water rat, is one of the many caretakers of the traditional Aboriginal land where the museum stands. The creature is linked to the mangroves that run along the Kurilpa Point shoreline on the opposite river bank.
In the artwork, the kuril has casually upended the world—and the huge elephant with it. This is meant to show that while history records just part of events, the world is always turning.
