me and a chicken made our way to Mungo National Park last week.
Sitting in the car on the way got boring so we decided to open the windows and jump out in bendigo.

It was a very busy week with 5am starts but well worth it for all the...
I've got a 3ft fish tank that needs something done with it. Would like to house a trio (if not a few more) of terrestial gex in there. Any suggestions? I love Oedura's and Strophurus but I know their aboreal..
