The river is brown and looks muddy. I don’t know if that is usual or due to recent rains. There are trees flowering with bright yellow and very fragrant blooms!

Further down the trail we spotted bright colorful parrots. This pair were busy, one on the branch with its head tucked as it preened, the other with its head in a cavity on the tree trunk, perhaps excavating for a nesting site! These are rainbow lorikeets, a native Australian parrot!

Along the trail is a reserve for flying foxes, apparently a larger colony than the one we saw in Albury!

We walked through the reserve area without seeing a single flying fox. We rounded a bend in the river, and there they were! Thousands of the dark pendulous forms hanging in the trees over the river!
