Thank you for this lovely post. I have friends in Australia but have never been there. We watch it vicariously through Australian cinema or TV shows.
Some of the Flora and fauna you show can be seen in Greece, where I lived for many years. I especially love Bourganvilleia, which is the big red bush in your pictures. We just finished watching a fascinating crime series based in Australia's outback with a wonderful actor Aaron Pedersen. For a change it had Aboriginal actors in it as well. Enjoy the rest of your house sitting and keep posting!
