This evening we had a fantastic outing on Lake Wendouree. A group we belong to hired this boat:
In case you aren't good at reading mirror-writing, the flag says "Golden City Paddle Steamer Museum Society". Details of the boat are on their website here.
During the cruise we saw the usual suspects:
Black swans.
Australian white ibis.
The boat took us quite close to things that are hard to see from the shore, such as these cormorants:
And these rowers:
Lots of happy travellers:
My highlight was seeing this pelican on an island right out in the middle of the lake:
You would never see it from the shore, as it would be completely hidden from view by the reeds and rushes.
What a great outing!

An excellent outing indeed. Great pictures of the water birds. Cormorants always look so purposeful.
Wonderful wildlife pictures you've captured!! What a fabulous outing...hugs, Julierose
I’d like to take that trip! Nice to see different birds up close. Do you feel like life is getting back to normal?
