1. moth (someone did tell me what they're called, but I can't remember) - there are hundreds of these about at the moment.
2. wasp
3. honey bee
4 & 5. butterfly - I spent ages chasing these around, waiting for them to land long enough to be photographed (they may get their own post later)
6. bee. this one has white stripes & is a different shape to the usual, we think it might be a native bee?

indulge, relax, enjoy....

These are from January, we celebrated a friend's birthday with long lunch at Hickory's Run. Actually, we had such a good time that we went back again for another birthday lunch a fortnight after the first one.
The food was delicious, the atmosphere relaxed & the coffee wonderful (these photos are from our second visit - I forgot the camera first time round!)

Lunch...
potato spun prawns, pizza (not pictured), 'overseer's long lunch' - cheese, olives, fruit, crackers

Dessert...
cheesecake with quandong, muntrie mud cake, quandong tart, bush tucker icecream (not pictured)

& of course, coffee...

hopefully we'll find an excuse to visit again :)

a few more from the zoo...

the first & last photos were taken through cage wire, the second & third in a big aviary which we walked through & the flamingo just had a fence.

you can find other zoo posts here, here & here :)
