Another day of road tripping across the great Aussie countryside and I was struck by so many things.
- The fact that the landscape seems to change so dramatically every few hundred kilometres,
- That the difference between NSW and Vic is minimal….yet he difference between NSW and QLD is vast.
- That we have SOOO much spare space ( yet why are we worried about refugees?… but this is not political forum ..so forget I said that)
- That every square kilometre is beautiful.
- That we really ARE the LUCKY country despite our State or National politics….
BUT on a serious note … I have been wondering about birds. With the wide open spaces and huge skies, you can’t help but notice the small things. One of which was the formation… and flight of flocks of birds.
Now I am not an ornithologist, so I have no idea what kind they are….. but on our drive from Swan Hill to Beechwood today, we were entertained by many flocks of birds that looked like they were in training for the synchronised swimming events at the next Olympics.
At first it was like seeing sign-writing in action, soon we realised that it was in fact birds…. and I couldn’t help but wonder WHY???
Who is the leader? how does he/she decide the formation? What happens when they get tired …and WHAT IS THE POINT???
As entertaining as this whole thing was…. I really want to understand the purpose….and what happens when one or more don’t want to play ?? where do THEY go??
I wonder …..?
