Yes there is a springtime in Oz and as in UK the country springs into life. In the lower part of Western Australia the wild flower display is magnificent. Unlike UK there are no cuckoos or rabbits, well a few rabbits, instead we have the kukuburras, never sure about that bloody spelling, and big bunnies called kangaroos. Now when I walk my dog in a nearby reserve to hear the kukuburra " laugh" still amazes and amuses me after many years of hearing the distinctive sound. Even to see a huge kangaroo bounding effortlessly and silently through the bush is still a wonderful sight.My dog, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier , would love to have a go but contrary to the popular image of Skippy the big roo would probably rip his guts out with those big lethal back claws.Great to be alive in Oz,
