The name is derived from the meaning pouched weasel and is a carnivorous Australian marsupial. These shy animals are active at dawn and dusk, the males are a little too active in their lifespan, which is only one year due to the frenzied mating they do in their short existence. They are here for a good time not a long time!<br /><br />The Air Adventure Australia group visited in mid June. This group were travelling around Australia on a photography trip, learning new skills from Ewen Bell a well known photographer. Visit the web site for some great shots of Faraway Bay <a href="http://www.ewenbell.com/">www.ewenbell.com</a> .<br /><br />The Burke Family brought in 4 of their adventurous children Sam, Jack, Lilly and Lucy. Steve sent them on a mission to find the turtles that had been sighted by another couple a week or so ago at the billabong. Mission accomplished, they sighted 2 long necked turtles, however, we will need a better look at them to identify exactly which species they are.<br /><br />Simone<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4019114504102330921-5135323541470199901?l=farawaybay.com.au%2Fblog%2Findex.php' alt='' /></div>funkybnoreply@blogger.com0
