Solar is on and landscaping nearly there.

Mr Kiambram's junk steel supplies have created a little wallaby free native fruit garden fence (to be painted). Saved rocks have tidied up the wall ends, including a native lemongrass patch. Native couch grass has responded well to the rain and mowing. Looking forward to sharing our repurposed fit out in the new year. Maybe see you then? Direct booking link in bio.

A native button daisy, I am thinking...

Can't find this golden carpeting flower on our plant list (Link in bio) but will give it a go as Leptorhynchos squamatus (Scaly buttons) on INaturalist and see what the experts come back with.

Enjoyed some magic mists with the rain and so did our Lichens.

This lot looking resplendent in their saturated state draping our little enchanted forest on the bush tucker trail. Have you checked out our INaturalist observations yet. Go to the INaturalist button on our Travel For Good/Nature page on the Kiambram website. Link in Bio.

Patterns in Nature ((()))

These communal Double-barred finch nests amaze me how perfectly cylindrical they end up amongst the random prickly branches they build in for protection.

Bumble trees are producing new crops on the bush tucker trail at present.

The green skin of Capparis mitchelli fruit just darkens with maturity (darker than the larger one in these photos). One day they don't look ripe. The next day they are gone. It's the intense fruity aroma that gives away their ripeness. Be quick to sniff them out! We found one the other day and forgot to pick it so went back the next morning only to find it had been snavelled by some nocturnal critter.

Visit our Travel For Good / "Our Commitment To Nature" page (link in bio); hit the INaturalist Button; find and drill down on Capparis mitchelli for more interesting info on this useful plant.

The blank canvas!

Ready for fit out, sustainability and security measures, also landscaping. Our new shed got the tick of approval last week and we can't wait to finish installs and see the benefits they bring.

Thanks again to our busy and talented commercial family businesses Toowoomba Fencing Pty Ltd Solutions taking time out to help Mum and Dad.

Helping hand for listed 'V' status plant, Sophora fraseri.

A vulnerable plant is a plant species that is considered to be at high risk of extinction in the wild. With not a huge geographical range, being endemic to Northern NSW and Southern Queensland Sophora fraseri needs protection from overgrazing to be able to regenerate naturally at Kiambram.

A specimen from this plant has now been added to the Queensland Herbarium collection. Please advise your local Land for Wildlife South East Queensland officer if you need help identifying and following proper protocols for plant and animal conservation. This pretty shrub from the pea family may be available from if you'd like it for your garden.

Thanks to wildlife photographer, Charles Dove for generously curating a display of creatures that can be found at Kiambram on these A2 displays. The close up of a variegated fairy wren was taken by Charles recently at Highfields Falls a beautiful closeby spot to bird if you want an outing.

We love echidna antics,
but they do this as soon as you get close enough for a good pic!
One of the world's 2 egg laying marsupials (or monotremes), the other being the platypus.
