In many parts of Australia, particularly by shorelines, these picnic platforms can be found. In theory, they keep you above the ants. Theory, I said...

Yup. It's that (Thurs)day again. Had you all guessing at last week's offering didn't I?! It was a telegraph pole in a wee bohemian town up at the Hawkesbury River (NSW) called Brooklyn. Anyway, lots of arty types there. Someone clearly felt the pole needed some help and plugged it with fish heads and tail. The place is also a marina and has no less than three outlets for locally caught fish (with chips). Flathead is the most common - and very tasty! The pockmarking would have come from endless years of having flyers posted about fairs and fetes and town hall meetings...

This week - more aged wood.

In response to one comment last week, I told of the family of six kookas who were local to our garden in Sydney... this was Peter having a discussion about territorial rights with one of the adjacent tribe, Sula the Strident Sulpher-crested cockatoo. They had quite the conversation!
