My Australia
wildlife/adventure
Even Echidnas needs a good stretch every now and then. That was the case for this cute Echidna I filmed at Booderee Botanical Garden in Jervis Bay foraging for a feed of ants.
Blue-ringed octopus
This highly venomous species of octopus can be found in tide pools and coral reefs around Australia. Despite their small size they are recognised as one of the world's most venomous marine animals and potentially fatal. Their bites are tiny and often painless, with many victims not realising they have been envenomated until respiratory depression and paralysis start to set in. All bites should be treated seriously and immediate medical attention sought.. * Note. Blue-ringed octopus are generally very shy and will not attack. Bites usually occur from people handling them, being totally unaware of their potential danger If you do come across one of these beautiful creatures OBSERVE, ENJOY AND PLEASE DO NOT HARM
Australian Numbfish
The Coffin ray or Australian Numbfish, is a species of electric ray endemic to Australia. It can produce a powerful electric shock reaching 200 volts for attack and defence. Although not fatal to humans, the coffin ray can deliver a severe, shock.
Yawning Wildlife
Even our Ozzy wildlife takes a break every now and then
Playful Echidnas
Echidnas, sometimes known as spiny anteaters, are monotremes which are egg-laying mammals.
Together with the platypus, they are the only surviving members of the order Monotremata and are the only living mammals that lay eggs.
Echidnas are only found in Australia and New Guinea and their diet mostly consists of ants and termites
Lyrebirds go crazy
I was lucky enough to witness these Lyrebirds in the Royal National park put on one of the best mimicking shows I have ever seen in the wild.
Listen to this male bird belting out dozens of different sounds including a whipbird, currawong, cockatoo, lorikeet, kookaburra, wattlebird, rosella, robin, rock-warbler, thornbill and many more as well as mechanical sounds that I could only guess.

Hooked up
On one of my most recent dives I spotted a Banjo shark / Fiddler Ray hooked up with some heavy duty fishing tackle.
Thankfully, I was able to catch, remove the hook and release this beautiful creature back into its environment without any harm.
Water monitors are a member of the monitor lizard family found in northern Australia. They are strong swimmers and feed both on land and in the water, mainly on fish, frogs.

Sucking little Leaches
What most bushwalkers fear aside from snakes is this nasty little creature, the blood sucking leech.
They occur in moist forest areas, being noticeable after rain and wait for the opportunity to latch on to animals or the occasional bushwalker.
Goanna V's Currawong
I spotted this large 2m Goanna while mountain biking through the Royal National Park in Sydney. The Goanna was being challenged by a very brave Currawong that was protecting its nest from this hungry predator.
