The Great Oz Eddventure #21 - Book Worm

Wow, so there is so much to learn about this down under inside out unique world.  I am finding myself reading more books in the last few months than I have in the last few years!  There is so much to learn from indigenous history to the variety of wildlife - it is all so fascinating!

A view from the drawing board #1 - Edd 209

As Robocop is my favourite film I couldn't resist drawing myself with Ed 209 (Edd 209 in my case!!) - my favourite robot character in the movie!

Last night I made the black outlines, and todays task is to colour it in, so I thought I would take a picture of it in black and white this morning before I start with the colour!

The Great Oz Eddventure #20 - First Wild Snake Encounter

Working at Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve I am very priviliged to encounter a variety of native animals in their natural wild habitat.  One of those animals is the red belly black snake, known for it's highly venom bite.  Because of this I was fairly apprehensive about seeing one, but I knew, like with most animals, that they are more afraid of you then you are of them.  And that is true, as you can observe, respect and enjoy them from a moderate distance away watching them move away into the bush...

The are a joy to watch as their black is such an amazing vibrant colour, and they can be seen on occassion swiming through the wetlands! 

The Great Oz Eddventure #19 - Secret life of Wombats

A couple of weeks ago I was recommended the book the 'Secret life of Wombats', which fortells the story of a young boy that went into the burrows of wombats for his own personal research.  This sounded an amazing concept so I had to read the book, and it is excellent.

Not only does it tell the story of the wombat boy, Peter Nicholson, but also the history of the wombat from it's fossilised ancestry through to how the first European settlers attempted to classify it!

A very worthwhile and rewarding book!
