Ahhh love a good Canberra nature walk! Though in the summer I a ALWAYS worried about snakes. 😄 Especially sunning themselves on those rocks.
There is a very distinct color to Australia. In some ways muted, but in other ways technicolor compared to the rest of the world!
Oh yes... I definitely am a little bit wary about snakes! The other month, a large one went through our backyard and went into our neighbour's garage. A snake-catcher eventually came and caught it... but it was a bit of a wake up call!
