Hi, we live in paradise where it is warm and sunny every day of the year. The tropical lifestyle allows us to enjoy life and appeciate nature. Our home is in a modern Australian city with all the benefits of shops, good food and activities to hand. But nature is close by, crocodiles 200 metres away in a creek, reptiles of all kinds in the garden and eagles flying above us.

With 3 metres of rainfall each year over the wet season the plants are all a deep green. For the 6 months a year of no rain (dry season) the green plants look great against the orange ground as the grasses die back.

All I can see from my air conditioned office is palm and mango trees outside.

It is winter here (June) and it is colder, only 18-33 today.

I always have a field guide to hand for reptiles, birds and amphibians as there are so many never seen outside the tropics. Camping here is great and we always find a new animal or bird on each trip.
