Ian Fraser, talking naturally: Across the Barkly Tableland: a great drive
http://ianfrasertalkingnaturally.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-barkly-tableland-great-drive.html
Ian Fraser, talking naturally. View my complete profile. Wednesday, 12 August 2015. Across the Barkly Tableland: a great drive. Approximate position of the Barkly Tableland - its boundaries are not precisely defined, and some. Would have it stretching further east into Queensland or south in the Northern Territory. Sealed roads notwithstanding, this is not country to take lightly; this is the start of the Tablelands Highway. Which runs north from Barkly Homestead to the Carpentaria Highway near Borroloola.

Ian Fraser, talking naturally. View my complete profile. Thursday, 26 February 2015. Pacha Quindi: a very special place. They claim that on most days of the year you can see up to 19 species in an hour. Part of the Pacha Quindi garden; the cleared area is immediately surrounding Tony and Barbara's house. With regenerating cloud forest hemming it in on all sides. Photo from the Pacha Quindi garden. A decade or so ago the ridge across the valley (as well as the foreground) was devoid of native vegetation.

Ian Fraser, talking naturally. View my complete profile. Thursday, 6 August 2015. Xanthorrhoeas; the wonderful grass-trees. Large (and very beautiful) X. glauca. Along the Mount Kiangarow Track, Bunya Mountains NP, Queensland. In general the species are not distinguished at common name level, though some are, at least locally. So, what are these plants that must look pretty strange to eyes that didn't grow up with them? The apparently woody stems possessed by most species are in fact hollow, though conta...

Ian Fraser, talking naturally. View my complete profile. Sunday, 31 August 2014. Magnificent Murchison (the Ugandan one). Part 2. This is to conclude an introduction to the wonders of Murchison Falls National Park in western Uganda, began here. In my last posting. While we met some animals in the context of specific places last time, they were just a tiny sample of what the park offers. (As indeed are those introduced here, but hopefully this will give you a stronger taste.). Somewhat less nervousness-in...

Ian Fraser, talking naturally. View my complete profile. Wednesday, 26 November 2014. The Australian National Botanic Gardens Revisited; exciting developments. I introduced our National Botanic Gardens, to me the pick of our national institutions, early last year in a couple of postings, beginning here. To provide suitable habitat 900 tonnes of red sand, 800 tonnes of rock and 380 tonnes of brown sand were accessed from various sources (again, none of them from the desert! On the left was brought by.

Ian Fraser, talking naturally. View my complete profile. Thursday, 28 May 2015. City Wildlife Snapshots: Lima. I'm away for May, accompanying a natural history tour to tropical Queensland. I don't have time to set up full postings for the time I'll be away, but in the hope. Of keeping you, my valued readers, while I'm absent, I'm going to post a few brief. Perspectives - snapshots perhaps - of some wildlife I've come across in cities. Often leave my camera behind when I go out in towns. By the sea to the...

Ian Fraser, talking naturally. View my complete profile. Thursday, 29 January 2015. Northern Territory Wildlife Park; the wild side. Having just returned from a week and a bit based in Darwin at the very northern end of central Australia (and having organised my photos) it's inevitable that this wonderful tropical part of the world should feature today. Some people considered us mad for visiting during the 'Wet' (or the 'Green Season' as the tourist industry has taken to preferring! And below the cycad C...
