Check out this pic of an Eastern Great Egret 🦢 enjoying breakfast on the Myall River at Tea Gardens, NSW.

A fascinating fact about the Eastern Great Egret is the remarkable length and flexibility of its neck, which can extend to more than half the length of its body!

Also, their bills and areas of facial skin change during the breeding season. Their bills adopt a striking black hue, and the areas around their eyes, known as lores, take on a stunning shade of green. How amazing! 🦢🌟

Embarking on a trip with your beloved pup? 🐶 Make the journey as tail-waggingly awesome as the destination! 🐾✨

Here's the ultimate guide to a paws-itively fantastic road trip with your four-legged co-pilot:

🚙 Break time: Plan snacks, exercise, and rest stops about every two hours if you’re taking a long drive. Keep your furry friend's energy levels up with scrumptious treats and don't forget to pack their favourite toys for a quick game of fetch. 🦴🎾

🏞️ Explore the unknown: Choose pet-friendly pit stops where you can let your pup stretch those legs and soak in new scents. A quick stroll through a park or a leisurely walk by a lake can do wonders to keep the adventure spirit alive!

🚰 Hydration station: Remember to keep a fresh water supply for your pooch. Stay hydrated on the go and make pit stops near water sources for a refreshing break. 💧🐕

🛌 Snuggle breaks: Just like us, dogs need their beauty sleep too! Pack a comfy blanket or their favorite bed so they can catch some ZZZs during rest stops. A well-rested pup is a happy pup! 😴❤️

Hot tips for when using solar panels on the road! 🚐

☀Use daylight hours for appliances like dishwashers, dryers, and washing machines to utilize solar power.
Bonus: delay dishwasher use until morning when sunlight is available.

🕰️ Stagger usage (e.g., wash at 11 am, dry at 12 pm) to avoid drawing from the grid.

🌄 Heat/cool using solar power in late daylight, reducing peak energy costs later.

🌳 Clear shade and debris to maximize solar panel efficiency.

🧽 Keep panels clean to maintain optimal production and savings.

Check out this great location from one of our community members on EdgeGuides!

Bailey’s Rocks in Dergholm State Park, Victoria, is a place full of amazing giant green granite boulders formed 500 million years ago! 🪨✨

What sets Bailey's Rocks apart is their striking green colouration, which is relatively uncommon in granite formations. 🌿 This unique hue is believed to be a result of mineral content and weathering processes over millions of years.

It is a great place for a walk, climb over the boulders or having a picnic!

📸 Thank you Clever Camper for the incredible discovery and share on EdgeGuides!

Also, don't miss out on a visit to the nearby Dergholm Pub "The Pub in the Scrub" while you’re there. The pub is known for its great pizzas and provides an additional reason to visit the area.
