Friday night at Robyn and Ian's house

Spent the night at Robyn and Ian’s house Troppo designed house.


They were delighted that I was able to locate a copy of “Troppo: Architecture for the Top End” in one of the local libraries.

Robyn and Ian cooked a great Anzac Day breakfast for their guests... thanks!
This Green Tree frog was one of many about the place; another decided the roof of my car was a good place to sit:

In out of the rain

Seen on the front porch this evening

French girls frog handling..

We had a couple of French tourists, Priscilla and Sarah visit us and Hugh found this frog near our pool and the girls were delighted to hold a frog for the first time.

Priscilla had the frog jump on her nose!

Garden delights

I found this little guy in our letterbox at home when I checked at lunchtime.
So I popped him into the garden


This evening I found this really big Grasshopper (Giant Valanga, Valanga irregularis.) eating a bush. I asked an expert overnight via email, thanks David Rentz for quick reply.This is a book he coauthored.

Little Green Tree Frog

Hugh found this little Green Tree Frog in the bathroom, so he carried it outside where I took some closeups on his car window.
