My wife & son a freind walking to the other dams ..This is when i found an awsome spider phew 10 legs and could probabily make you deathly ill, massive fangs and agro.




Some die back in the jarrah but we have wondoo ,salmon gums malley,ghost gums .In summer its alive with snakes and every kind of reptile,s .Dont know if you can see the mobs of roo,s

This is what we farm marron , and free endangered reptiles and marsupials. Hope you come down some time , takes 2 days to walk the boundary fence..Rugged mountains has its own picknick at hanging rock
.



Were also three hours from the city no U.R.T.I Or bobtail flu on the farm .So great to let boxes of better ones go free again, were they wont catch it again .Yes to Liegh Crikey relapsed but is home doing fine . You mean Smokey that lives out the back. They get purple reptile ink on them they have water many logs to hide in . All the boys like hearing the car come up the hill i bet..More sexy girls with cute shingle feet ..

Great pictures, beautiful sites.
love ur emu wish i had one!
If only we had more rain our dams wouldnt look so empty
But we are getting some rain so thank god for that!

Thanks for the snaps{you like that term}always good to see the great outdoors, you should call the spider JAKE, after Rolf Harris's hit song ,that bloody tunes in my head now , sorry for the smokey/crikey mistake, are those yabbies from the lake?dead handy for the barby in your pinic haven mate

I'm stupid ,marron not yabbies,yeh.

Gorgeous bush.

Marron, yabbies, whatever. They're all crustacea that I don't eat!

Cute skink....crazy scary spider.....definately would have been a girly scream and me running if I came across it.

i'm so jealous. That area looks beautiful. Crazy spider!

Awww.. I think the spidey kid is CUTE! He does have some pretty long pedipalps (?)... makes him look very deceiving ("10 legs"). Wow! his fangs look HUGE in comparison to his size, though. What was his leg span?

Your farm is beautiful, btw... and Hector has all of that all to himself? No friends? Does he get on well with the "roos" ?

Thanks again, for sharing pics of AU. I am fascinated!

Wow! Your farm looks awesome! I want to make to Aus one day, when I do, I wanna come see your place for myself! Beautiful Where is your farm located?

nice pics especially the shingleback

I got this from an entomoligist about that spider DRAGONTEARS , these are thick on the ground after rain ,the males move about looking for hairy legged females .

Hi Ian,

Thankyou for your email. This is a species of red-headed mouse spider from the genus Missulena, family Actinopodidae. There are 8 species recorded in this genus and are found throughout Australia. They are all medium to large measuring up to 35mm body length. The males tend to wander during the daylight in full view, particularly after rain when they are in search of females. There is more interesting information available in the sites below.

Although they are unlikely to cause serious harm they are quite toxic. Only one serious incident has been reported to date. Spiders are certainly fascinating to observe but as with many of our invertebrates it is important to remain cautious.

The farm is up chittering brook .
Regards,

Michelle Glover

Awww yeah, that's what I like to see. If it weren't for the noise I'd have ten cockatoos of all kinds. I sure love the Rosies. I think "cheeky" and "cockatoo" are about one in the same if you ask me. Those little bare-eyed cockatoos are fun little things, too.

It's a 'Petral?" Okay. I'll take your word for it. I don't think your car would run so good if you put some "petral" in the gas tank... heh. That was a terrible pun, someone shoot me.

I love your pictures DeadEye. I can't wait to go back to visit Australia. I
