Hey guys!

I am new to the local guides connect, I am so excited to be here and see the world with you all!

I thought I would start this exploration by sharing my own backyard. Australia is a beautiful country filled with a rich landscape of flora and fauna.

The area in the photo is known as a swampland or marsh as the entire field is a flood plane. The birds flying above are Ibis.

I love photography, food, craft, fine wine, whiskey and beer. I also have a love for Japan that is just as great as my love for Australia.

Great to meet you all!

Don’t be a stranger :sunglasses:
