“E.T.” in Mallacoota

On 27 July 2020

| Surroundings

The Mallacoota Mouth Issue 1668 19.10.2017 Page 19 Mallacoota seems to be lately gifted with welcoming koalas. We have seen koalas crossing for their safety on the wide open and busy road off Mallacoota’s roundabout and we also admired them crossing lakeside drive road. It was a lovely, sunny, calm beginning of the day. This […]

Magpies

Magpies can be friendly, NOT ONLY swooping. I call Mallacoota the centre of the universe. Maybe too tiny for such a definition, but it will do for us. Clever, very adorable and lovable magpies We have a handicapped ringneck dove living with us for the last 20 odd years. He has an injured shoulder and […]

Things That Go Bump in the Night

During the past week (end of June!), a young couple in one of the holiday flats complained about excessive rustling in their kitchen cupboard and accused me of harbouring mice. I conceded the possibility, especially as there are always a few field-mice about, but normally they don’t make much of a racket; they are discreet […]

Old Shed at Main Wharf

On 8 November 2019
| No Comments
| Surroundings

Hindsight is such an unpleasant definition full of negative connotations in the English language. We nearly always regret a situation that happened without being thought through and has NOW become a sad reality. I heard on the grapevine that the powers to be are thinking to move the content of the Mallacoota Information Shed up […]

Pygmy Wombats

| Surroundings

With the extended wet season in Mallacoota nature has sprung into overdrive. Trees, grasses, birds, insects, mammals and even rodents are having a wonderful time; busily reproducing and growing as if there is an urgency to make up for dry times in the past and no doubt hard times ahead. Our local bush-rats (we nick-named […]

Electricity in Mallacoota

Tom Davies (a very experienced diesel mechanic) supplied Mallacoota with electricity on a private basis for many, many years. He installed his own diesel generator, power poles, wiring; the lot. Even though his charges had to be higher than a government subsidized scheme, it worked well. During the 1960s Victoria was ‘modernized’ and electricity supply […]

In January 1999 we saw a strikingly different and rather wonderful new bird on our bird feeders. It was pigeon sized, however had a very outstanding spikey top-knot, very much as the best endeavours of “Trafalgar Square Hippies” who must spend hours trying to get that upright, pointed hairdo erupting from the middle of their […]

Minstrels in Mallacoota

On 12 October 1993

| Surroundings

The choughs are the flautists (on pan flutes) in black, the currawongs are on the cymbals in their check suits and the magpies would fill in the complete orchestra, in festive black and white. Choughs When I first came to Mallacoota, in eastern Victoria, nearly 30 years ago my knowledge of native birds was rudimentary […]
