Noosa and Mutton Birds

Today might be my final entry involving the mutton birds. I'm going to keep this post on the image side but if you want to, you can read about the birds here and here. 

For now it's time to flood you guys with pictures of Noosa national Park, a fav spot of mine that you're possibly, sick of me posting about :P I was definitely curious to go back to check in on the state of the bird bones and to my surprise a year+ later they're still decomposing. The park is not just about the bones though, we found cute banksia pods (like the guy below), cicada shells, a heart shaped rock (my favourite!) a beach ball made of twigs and some pretty cactus - which shocked me because it's not something I see much of in the wild! 

On to the pictures!

Botanical Gardens - Cacti Garden

One of our first dates that I can remember is Ben dragging me to the botanical gardens and being pretty relieved when it was over. Guess what three years together, has done to me? yup...it's made me appreciate plants! I think that's such a nice thing about dating someone that their interests rub off onto you :) Just to prove I'm not lying I actually suggested we visit the botanical gardens this time, no prompting needed, he he he! I was wondering if Winter would cause the visit to be more boring than pretty but the gardens seem to be designed with the various seasons in mind. I actually took way too many photos so I'm going to break it down into two posts, today you get the cacti!

 I love cactus and made a bee line straight to them!
