2nd October 2010 Maria Island

This was the last shot I took on Maria Island. It wasn’t easy. I wanted the shot close to the ground with the Magpie Goose blocking the sun. I would lie down, sight up, then the goose would move And the light was disappearing fast.

We stayed here for four days; it wasn’t long enough. There were magpie geese and kangaroos with young families, and lots of competition for grass. Most grassy places on the island looked as though they were bowling greens although none were flat.

Bugger! In hindsight I should have called this post The golden goose.
