Friday Photos: The Australian Kookaburra + Video

Townsville Holidays — Fri, 02 May 2014 17:00:00 +0000

Ah, the great Australia Kookaburra.

Until you’ve heard one of these birds sing in person, it’s hard to imagine the sound they make.

Many people describe their trill as laughing, and there’s even a famous song about it.

On the old gum tree-ee
Merry Merry King
Of the bush is he-ee
Laugh
Kookaburra, laugh
Kookaburra
Gay your life must be

That said, their sound isn’t quite a laugh … but take a listen to the video below to find out for yourself.

This is one of our favorite photos of Oz.

Most space photos seem to show Europe or North America, but this is one of the rare ones that gives an astronaut’s view of Australia from space.

Enjoy!

This is one of our very favorite photos of Townsville at night. It’s taken from the boat ramp looking up Picnic Bay to Nobby Head with Townsville in the background.

This sunny photo of the rock pool in the Strand is the Townsville we know.

It’s all about the deep blue ocean and sunshine.

Castle Hill Summit gets a lot of love on TripAdvisor and other sites from visitors to Townsville. It’s a beautiful view, and we thought you’d enjoy a little peek.

We talk a lot here at Townsville Holidays about the beautiful attractions like Magnetic Island and the interesting local wildlife, but we realized today that we’d been ignoring one important part of living in gorgeous, tropical Townsville: The abundance of fresh fruit and veggies available virtually year round.

So, in honour of all that is fresh and delicious here in sunny Oz, we have a photo just popping with veggie color and taste.
