A Last Parade
In past years, the annual tulip flower festival in Bowral, New South Wales, was heralded by early morning road races and a lively community parade along Bong Bong Street.
The parade garnered robust attendance and appeared to enjoy strong backing from the locals. Nevertheless, it has ceased to occur. These images capture a glimpse of spectators and local organisations participating in the final two Tulip Time Parades of 2017 and 2018.

Kookaburra Rescue
Our property is shared with at least one mob of Kookaburra who often engage in some serious, and very noisy, squabbles. In 2018 one of these birds became trapped in a chimney shaft. The NSW State Emergency Service (SES) Wingecarribee Unit attended and effected a very professional rescue.
A WIRES wildlife rescue volunteer then provided a couple of days recuperation for the bird before it was released to rejoin mob.
