vanislander: Hi - 'roos across the inlet
vanislander: It's been nice seeing so many bowerbirds at Al's. Good that the strategy for keeping the cockatoos away has worked.
vanislander: My big hang up will be .... snakes! Emoticon emoticon-18
vanislander: Sorry I missed everyone. Just wanted to say that I can see why Kim fell in love with both homes, but her choice makes so much sense to me too. I love the fact that there are so many trees - I'll be hoping for koalas! Emoticon emoticon-15 Also, the fact that not only is the whole property fenced, but the patio area is also completely fenced - which will suit Rex! Emoticon emoticon-53
RB2sMom: Pair of lorikeets chowing down at AlCam Emoticon emoticon-78Emoticon emoticon-78
RB2sMom: G'day all, sorry I missed you Bruce and Tom, Hi Kim, Al, Van, Diane, Rick,
RB2sMom: Kim, totally impressed with your new house (thanks for the link Al). Did you also say it comes with the furniture? This reminds me of your residence with the first BYGC in that nice garden area. Should attract a lot of wildlife and be more private down toward the end of the residential street. All one level, so much easier.

vanislander: I'm off to a comfy spot in the other room - bbl
vanislander: The important thing is that Kim and Mick fell in love with it and will hopefully be in by Christmas
vanislander: I had guessed it would be that house - just took another look - it does look great and so does the yard, but I loved the location of the blue house, with the water access too
vanislander: Uhoh - looks like I missed the big reveal - was exploring down our driveway in the rain
AussieAl: Emoticon emoticon-75
KimmyRoo: Talk soon

vanislander: Emoticon emoticon-48
vanislander: 3 hrs ago she said "give me 10 and I will reveal " Guess we still have 7 hours to wait?
AussieAl: Emoticon emoticon-61 Emoticon emoticon-61
vanislander: Hooroo Al - how many hours do we have left befor Kim has counted to 10?
vanislander: We should have taken it down before we built, but it looks so straight and firm and healthy - only when some branches were trimmed off the other week was when we saw it has a split trunk higher up that has had sap oozing
AussieAl: Gotta go, Van. Hooroo for now.
vanislander: Yes - it is our largest tree
AussieAl: Emoticon emoticon-62
AussieAl: The one coming down?
vanislander: The logger who will climb promised he would wear his best orange vest! Emoticon emoticon-61
vanislander: When it pans over to where we are it is the tallest tree in that area
AussieAl: Oh, that one. Thanks.
vanislander: The tighnamara one
AussieAl: True.
vanislander: Oh well - we aren't spending on travel these days ... Emoticon emoticon-62
AussieAl: Which cam is that, Van?
vanislander: I think it will be possible to see from the webcam across the bay
AussieAl: Emoticon emoticon-62. I was thinking that.
vanislander: So the crane is a large rental one, with operator (I hear $$$$ mounting up ) Emoticon emoticon-18
vanislander: They have their own truck with bucket, but needed a big crane for this job as the tree is on the other side of the house from where they can park
AussieAl: Understandable.
vanislander: No they phoned to cancel until after the weekend - weather is nasty today and likely tomorrow
AussieAl: Have your lumberjacks been?
vanislander: He is adorable - he is probably one of 2 or 3 but we never see them together, so guessing it's more than one
vanislander: He will take a whole walnut and carry it off to bury it somewhere, but if I halve one he loves to spend quite a while getting all the nutty bits out
AussieAl: He’s a lucky squirrel, Emoticon emoticon-62.
vanislander: Yes we had none left on our tree before it was felled - all the invaders had taken them before the nuts were even mature Emoticon emoticon-18
AussieAl: Do you give him the walnut?
vanislander: If we haven't seen hi at the patio door he tries the window ledge where he figures somebody might see him
vanislander: I feel that way when the little squirrel comes calling - we get such a kick out of seeing him so delicately eat half a walnut (in half shell) burying his little face in it Emoticon emoticon-53
AussieAl: It’s little things like that that make my day.
vanislander: Emoticon emoticon-15 You are a lucky man!
AussieAl: How lucky am I to have company while washing up.Chat image
AussieAl: How lucky am I to have company while washing up. Chat image

Bruce: bb phone
Bruce: yes got some warm stuff from storage
vanislander: Do you have some spare clothing - I imagine you lost all you'd kept
Bruce: more layers I think Emoticon emoticon-62
Bruce: winter is going to be a problem Emoticon emoticon-62
Bruce: I feel a cool day thats for sure
Bruce: lots of PC's and keith brought inn a spare TV
vanislander: And it's warm enough for you - after the tropics!
vanislander: Just take it easy - don't overdo things! Hope you have some basic furniture and tv and computer!
Bruce: Flat is good plenty of room for me, too much Emoticon emoticon-62
Bruce: yep I'm ok just putting up with it Emoticon emoticon-62
vanislander: Hope you are doing well in your new home - and staying rested and healing!
vanislander: state of emergency was declared - army called in to help with rescu and rebuilding of roads - we have petrol rationing and some empty shore shelves ... but we'll survive
Bruce: ys wow saw that Emoticon emoticon-18
vanislander: We are safe, but other places have seen devastation - many have lost their homes - and thousands of livestock have been lost. Emoticon emoticon-18
Bruce: Geez Van , we are gettingmajor floods inland as well , stay safe there please
vanislander: Things have been pretty bad here with all the flooding and washouts - now we are going through yet another 'atmospheric river' event - lots of rain and strong winds today
vanislander: Here's a stunning airlift that was all over the news here the other day. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/horse-cow-rescue-kamloops-spences-bridge-flooding-bc-climate-change-1.6258702
vanislander: Hello Bruce - hear the clicks from chat from the other room - we've been waiting for Kimmy to tell us where she's moving to Emoticon emoticon-39
Bruce: Emoticon emoticon-66
RB2sMom: OK, back to dinner prep, turkey coming out, and wine going in Emoticon emoticon-62 Emoticon emoticon-7
vanislander: Yet to be revealed, RB Emoticon emoticon-61
RB2sMom: And the winner is?
Rick: Or maybe I can get a ham for a change!
Rick: I saw turkey for sale here the other day but I decided against it, not really fancying it this year Emoticon emoticon-62 Chicken will do!
vanislander: But rail lines are now running, both CP and CN, I think
vanislander: Doubt whether we'll be able to find any turkey for Christmas - wishing I'd bought a frozen one at Thanksgiving
vanislander: Along with poultry, dairy , hog farms, other fruit and veg So sad Emoticon emoticon-18
Rick: Emoticon emoticon-18
vanislander: All the blueberry farms outside Vancouver got wiped out Emoticon emoticon-18
vanislander: Now there's an idea! I'll make them if blue wins Emoticon emoticon-61
Rick: I'll be over for Blueberry Pancakes soon enough Emoticon emoticon-15
vanislander: I have blueberries in my oatmeal!
Rick: Emoticon emoticon-31
Rick: Having blueberries today, Al?
vanislander: I haven't had mine yet - but it is waiting ...
AussieAl: Meanwhile, my brekkie calls. Bbl.
vanislander: Maybe listening to Crystal Blue Persuasion?
vanislander: She's renegotiating? Emoticon emoticon-61
AussieAl: She’s having a quiet chuckle to herself.
vanislander: Kim posted 15 mins ago - maybe she meant 10 hours?
vanislander: Emoticon emoticon-14
Rick: Emoticon emoticon-62
Rick: what word
vanislander: How come the censor didn't catch that word?
AussieAl: The bookies are running scared.
Rick: Going to have to slash the odds!
AussieAl: There have been a lot of wagers on Blue!
vanislander:
AussieAl: Ladies and gentlemen, there has been a slight delay in the judge’s decision.
vanislander:
Rick: suspense!

New cam location in Sussex Inlet, NSW

By Rick | February 21, 2021
Posted in

We have successfully trialed a live stream from a new cam location on the South Coast of NSW at Sussex Inlet. An amazing little town here in Australia. The town lies on the west bank of the waterway called Sussex Inlet, which divides New South Wales from the Jervis Bay Territory. From Glossy Black Cockatoos to Kangaroos this cam will offer more than we have ever seen historically at Australian Bird Cams formerly known as Backyard Galah Cam. We think its…

By Rick | September 15, 2019
Posted in

It has been a long time since we started as Backyard Galah Cam back in 2010. We have made many friends and seen people come and go, some people who have passed away are dearly missed but are remembered in our hearts, as ever. We realised last year that it was time for the next chapter to our story and that was to create something fresh and exciting, but due to life taking hold we weren’t able to get to…
