But not normally found there!On show at Willoughby's Fauna Fair today, courtesy of the "Bug Man" were a range of stick insects, spiders and the giant - being shown around here by Daniel, an enthusiastic member of the audience. Apparently they're the world's biggest (up to 80mm & 35 grams) and thankfully, mostly found in north Queensland. Also on display were bats from the Ku-ring-gai Colony, a tawny frogmouth, lorrikeets and butterflies from Ossu, our sister city in East Timor. A great day, made possible through e.restore, Council's Environmental Levy - for which we have recently won an extension.
On the way there, I took this photo of Telford Lane - Willoughby's only surviving cobbled street runing between Eastern Valley Way and Fourth Avenue. An unexpected but wonderful relic don't you think?!
