Joseph Banks.

Joseph Banks was the principle naturalist on the endeavour.  For some strange reason, his memorial is much posher than Cook's.  This may reflect the character of the two men,  if Hough is correct.  Cook a navy man through and through, Banks an aristocrat. Banks brought, amongest other things, two grey hounds on the 2 year voyage.

One Laughing Kookaburra.  Wonder if Bank's shot one?

Then there were two.  Heads back for a good old laugh.  Apparently these birds aren't native to Western Australia,  having been introduced there by early European settlers from the East of the country.

No laughing matter is hunting.  The birds sat on the branch watching the grass below, before swooping down on some poor unsuspecting bug.

This guy,  a Forest Raven I think,  was always eying our lunch.  Wollongong library is to thank I am for the bird identifications.  Great places, libraries, to get free WiFi.
