Fantastic compilation! I love all the creatures. The echidna was really spectacular! The birds are so varied and lovely. Everything was wonderful! Great vid!👍🏻😊
Hello Poetry, thank you for watching, and for your kind words of support. You are spot on - it is serene. I could just potter about in the sand country all day and forget that humans exist, until I get hungry of course ;)
Hello Tas, I honestly didn't think anyone would watch it, being so long, but life has thrown some curveballs lately, so we have a huge backlog of footage that we don't want to waste. Eventually I'll work back through the pile of footage and bung together a compilation for June, July and August. Shameful to be so far behind!
I often think about all the wild animals out there just doing their thing. Doing wallaby things. Doing lizard things. Doing whale things. Doing bird things. Doing bug things. Doing bear things. What an absolutely beautiful video. Thank you for sharing such beauty. ❤️
Well, you've inspired me to do exactlywhat you've done. No joke. I'm a passionate conservationist from NZ with a BSc about to get my career in field conservation underway and... well... Seriously. Thanks to inheritance, I will soon have sufficient funds to buy similar areas of land in my new home in NW Spain. Kiwi "family" is hopelessly toxic but my share of 2000 hectares of rolling hill country with 900 cows and 7500 sheep is worth enough to replicate what you've done here easily... I lived in Australia for 2 years (2017 and 2018). Many very fond memories of your wild fauna and flora. Love those big macaw like cockatoos you have on the east coast ('Zanda funerea'). Was homeless in Byron Bay for 3 weeks dealing with /escaping from said toxic family and sadly that stint ended with almost being murdered by 3 homeless zombie meth demons lol... but I'm still here and have golden memories of my time in the Aussie wilderness, even the deadly snakes when I saw them! You leave them alone, they'll leave you alone... weird journey in recent years but a vision of a similar kind to what you have done here leaves me feeling hopeful and excited about life again. Cheers from a fellow ANZAC nature lover
Hello Alan, after a couple of drinks on a dark night, that could be absolutely terrifying! I do love listening to crow couples talking to each other, except for the ARRC ARRC ARRC at 5am. That bit I could definitely do without.
I had a negative opinion of currawongs from my childhood after they killed a pet budgie in a cage, and I saw one take a chick that had fallen from a nest in my backyard. They really are quite stunning birds though.
Hi Andy, my thoughts exactly! I am personally conflicted have uploaded a video featuring currawongs in the lead position - we normally just delete all footage of currawongs, because we have a very low opinion of them. They are professional nest robbers and chick killers, and their numbers have been greatly amplified by land clearing and urbans environments. We are involved in flying fox rescues, and are always appalled by the cruelty currawongs, who will blind and then torture a flying fox to death if they catch it alone and vulnerable out of the colony during the daylight hours. That said, to see them interacting with their family and kin as practical jokers and play mates reveals another facet to a carnivorous species who just do what comes naturally to them. Being surprised and intrigued by how watching the footage affected my personal view of them, I couldn't help but see how others felt about it too. Nature is serene, and cruel, and surprising.
@@GubanaNatureRefuge that seems unsurprising, even though I’d put their earlier behaviour down to needing food (though what they did to my bird always seemed malicious given their intelligence). Torturing a flying fox is a human level of cruelty.
This upload is a wonderful display of biodiversity. Thank you for sharing it with us all. What is that goanna doing when it appears to be chewing on the bark of that fallen tree? Is that a common behavior they exhibit and what is the purpose or is that guy just eating bugs we can't see in the camera?
Hello FP, thank you for your question. It's a good question, and I'm not quite sure what the answer is! My best guess is that a prey animal is inside a hollow space inside that log and the goanna is trying to open the 'tin'.
Hi Andy, we are doing a very poor job of controlling cats. It's extremely vexing. The cat traps were moderately successful in the first few years, until all the foolish cats were removed, leaving behind a population of wiser felines - we had effectively applied a selective pressure for increased wariness. The current population of cats will stroll past a trap and entirely ignore the seductive pull of 3 day old sardines, and all that ends up in the traps are very angry goannas. Releasing an angry goanna from a cat trap is not a pleasant task. We need a better plan, because trapping is now completely ineffective. We tried using cat urine as a lure, but all we achieved is establishing the traps as scent marking sites, which the feral cats visit just to apply their own urine and face jam.
@@andyl8055 Hi Andy, it's not learnt as such - the cats who entered the trap didn't get an opportunity to exit, and they are solitary so there was no opportunity for social learning either. The remaining population are just somehow naturally disinclined to enter an artificial structure like a trap at all. It has been suggested to us that we should try enclosing the trap to make it feel similar to a hollow log or burrow, so that's an experiment we need to try. And then there's this ... thylation.com/felixer-faqs/
@@GubanaNatureRefuge I wonder if thylated cat carcasse would be toxic to carrion eaters? Otherwise seems short term effective if that could be prevented. What about those urine post places, old cages w sardines where they habitually mark... could that function as a lure? Once in the lure zone that action triggers a secondary trap, a snare net?
I can't believe there are so many feral cats in Australia. Do you all have any type of Trap, Neuter, Release programs like we do in the states? I was just wondering what happens to the cats once they are trapped, and how long they sit in a trap before someone comes to get them. I understand that they are making a lot of species extinct and that is sad.
Aren’t there any coyotes in your area, they love to eat cats, they cleared all the feral cats at my parents property when I lived in south Texas, they even take small dogs from your back yard if your not careful
I'm sorry about the feral cat problem there. Here in California where I am we have a problem too. People don't realize the impact on wildlife and continue to put food out all over the place while they multiply out of control.
There should definitely be TNR programs in place anywhere there are feral cats. I love cats. I feed a colony of feral cats, but they are all fixed and vaccinated. People that continue to feed cats without making sure they can't reproduce is just making the problem worse.
Maybe TNR maybe not; here in my part of california food put out for street/ferals cats come coyotes come soon no feral cat problem! People who leave food out 24/7 feeding skunks, oppussom, raccoons and the coyotes... Cant talk sense to any these people ...
Speechless, love it but devastated when seeing the cats & foxes. I love cats but believe all cats need to be banned from Australia that includes domestic pets. 🕊❤🐨🍀🌾
Hello OG, thank you for watching, and for taking the time to share your thoughts. The issue of cats is certainly a vexed issue, and one which divides people terribly. The damage they do is intolerable, and I am sympathetic to the argument that we should be able to keep suitable natives as pets instead. I'm open to argument on this issue, but would it really be so bad if Australians had pet bandicoots rather than cats?
@@GubanaNatureRefuge I enjoy interacting with animals living freely and don't see that humans need to have control of other living beings. I raised a wallaby it was the most beautiful experience I had, but she was released back in the wild and I was told that she had become a mother by the people who saw her. 👍
@@olivegrove2615 Hi Olive, you make a very good point, thank you. Humans are drawn to keeping captive animals however, and I don't think that will change, because the enormous psychological benefits to humans will always trump the ethical issues of animal sentience - as any benefit to humans almost always trumps every other consideration, regardless of the degree of imbalance of benefit versus harm. Harm minimisation would be to restrict and phase out ownership of animals which have been demonstrated to routinely escape from captivity and thrive, to the detriment of native ecosystems. A complete and absolute ban on ownership of un-desexed cats until the captive population ages and disappears.. a nice pipe dream, but it's just not going to happen. Personally, I'd also quite like to see goats banished from the continent forever.... most especially my neighbour's goats - but sadly that's not going to happen either.

if the feral cats are causing the decline of endangered species I am sorry to say but you should starting hunting the feral cats and dwindling their populations so the endangered species can heal and repopulate.

Like your volcano myths and eruption stories vary culture about how they are named, meaning and the like thumb up to volcanoes.
Very interesting to watch! The kingfisher is very pretty.

The cats ignoring traps... is that typical? It wasn’t wary avoidance, they just nonchalantly strolled past.
It's definitely frustrating.

Why doesn't the Australian government launch a concerted effort to wipe out all the feral cats?
if the feral cats are causing the decline of endangered species I am sorry to say but you should starting hunting the feral cats and dwindling their populations so the endangered species can heal and repopulate.
Indeed
why are you letting the animals stay outside like this??? it's dangerous, why don't you build them nice homes?
Ah but if you build nice homes they become infested with humans, who call them "towns" and complain when the local inhabitants dare to visit.
