About Me
Retired Hospital Scientist. ( worked in hospital Pathology Departments ) Live in Sydney, Australia. Hobbies are photography, bushwalking, manual scrapbooking, making items with photos online with Snapfish, x-stitch, reading, watching TV documentaries. I have a boyfriend, with whom I go out as much as is possible - we share lots of things in common - watching movies, walking. We used to go caving, canyoning, but these things are pretty well out of my reach these days. I've just taken up digital scrapbooking, & have to admit I'm addicted - but that's OK. I manage to mostly fit other stuff into the day, that needs doing. I have a feathered baby called Monty. He's a very talkative, inquisitive cockatiel, & I would totally miss him if anything were to happen to him. I have to scrap while he's in the cage, otherwise he's on the keyboard, removing the keys! Jesus is my Lord & Saviour, & my Home is Heaven - I'm very much looking forward to being there with Him.
Type of Project
Digital Scrapbook LayoutDescription
This is one of the premier bushwalking tracks in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. The scenery is to die for, but for an unfit person like me, it is tough walking out, because, unfortunately, when you walk into a valley, you have to walk up the other side! It takes me days to recover from, but, I'm glad I did it. Two of us were fortunate to see a male Superb Lyre Bird, which will imitate just about any sound that can be made. For this LO, I used Outdoor Adventure by Sheila Read, Alice by Rachel Martin, both from PS, & Down Under by KAagard.

Thanks Felicity - I figured I was right :-)
Yes, Lyrebirds are native to Australia. We also have them near where I live in the Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne, Victoria. I often hear them when out on bushwalks/hikes. It's a real treat to see them with their tail fanned doing a dance to attract a mate.
Great layout Jill. I know what you mean - there's always an up for every down.Glad you had a great walk and seeing a lyrebird is an added bonus.
Thanks for your kind comments, ladies. Doska, I have been to Hitler's Hide-away house in Berchtesgaden, & seen the beautiful scenery there - I see it would be a wonderful area to walk in. Marlyn, I Googled it, but, didn't get definite information, but, I'm pretty sure that it, & Albert's Lyrebird, found in northern NSW & southern Queensland, are only found in Australia.
this is lovely, Jill. is the superb lyre bird endemic to australia?
Great blue-green Layout, Jill.
Since we also hiked in the summer in our younger years (Watzmann in Berchtesgaden/Bavaria) I can understand you...
Jill, your layout is wonderful! That is fascinating about the Superb Lyre Bird, and I am glad that you got to see it in person. Thank you so much for posting this terrific layout.
