Cee’s March Alphabet: Letters Ch or Ck in the the word

One of my all time favourite songs to listen while you have a look at what I found for Cee’s Mid Week Madness Challenge

Where to begin? I guess a few birds are in order. I did get a bit lazy and didn’t name everything but if you want to know a bit more drop me a comment and I’ll give it a go.

  • Black-faced Cockoo Shrike
  • Pacific Black Ducks

I did a bit of digging and found there are a lot more than I first thought. I had to include an old favourite at the end

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Things Made from Wood

A while ago we went to a town over the mountains, Inverell and went to the Pioneer Village. Many of the buildings have been saved and transported to the village for a living exhibition of the life and times in the 1800’s.     “The Inverell district is in a fertile agricultural region which produces a wide range of crops, including wheat, barley, oats, sorghum, wine grapes and maize. There are also some mining activities with tin, sapphires, zircons and diamonds (mainly industrial) being found.[12] Inverell is known as the ‘Sapphire City’ because of the sapphires that found throughout the local district, contributing to a major part of Australia’s sapphire production.” source Wikipedia

Here is a few of the things I found.
