Aug 19, 2025 Albury

This morning we walked from our hotel to the train station past this park where it’s so cold even the trees wear sweaters!

Our almost 6 hour train ride dropped us in Albury, a town on the border between the states of New South Wales and Victoria, divided by the Murray river.

A small pond near our B&B held a flock of Australian white ibis. They were squawking as we walked by on our way back from the grocery store.

They are commonly known here as “bin chickens” or “tip turkeys” due to their spread into urban areas where they feed on the garbage left by humans!
