24.01.2022 We like our return visitors to Araluen Park Cottages, - the Black-faced Monarchs usually turn up around October / November, and then head off about February. Nice to see this one in one of our rain forest gullies this morning. At Lakes Entrance, 9th October 2021.

24.01.2022 Just before 9:00am this morning, and after substantial rain over the last couple of days, Lake Bunga opened up to the sea. These pics taken about an hour later. At Lake Bunga, 5th September 2021.

23.01.2022 One of a breeding pair of Sacred Kingfishers. (Whilst we see these birds frequently on our property, these particular birds are elsewhere in Gippsland). 17th November 2020.

23.01.2022 Mum and calf humpback whales off the Barrier at Lakes Entrance today, 23rd October 2020. (missed the perfect double breach though )

23.01.2022 Walking the dog last night we came across 4 Glossy Black Cockatoos drinking from a puddle on the side of the road. Didn't have the camera, so did the same walk tonight, Watched patiently from a distance as the two pairs came into nearby trees and then came down to drink. Less than a couple of k's from Araluen Park Cottages. Glossy Black Cockatoos, Colquhoun Forest, Lakes Entrance, 18th July 2021.

22.01.2022 So, this is the koala that visited our guests in Lomandra Cottage last night. Had moved a bit during the night, but his calling late this afternoon made it easy to find him. At Araluen Park Cottages, Lakes Entrance, 21st October 2020.

18.01.2022 #threatenedspeciesday2021 today - whilst there are many threatened species listed in East Gippsland, these two in particular are of special interest to us at Araluen Park Cottages.
