A couple of photos taken at various stops along the way. Can't wait to get back!!
I think was the firs time I had ever seen a black swan.

I hadn't been in the National Park more than 5 mins before I saw them. Yes I felt very lucky! My gf is a bit of a bird nut and it made her trip! I just wish I had a bigger zoom and a bit of IS!

Last time I crossed the Nullabor I saw six up in a tree beside the road, with another four on the ground around it. I got within fifteen feet of them.

Of course, the camera had seized up due to sand in the winding mechanism (back in pre-digital days) so there aren't any photos . . . :x
