The wallaby joey is a week older and starting to explore. It's so cute to observe this. The species is called "Pretty Faced Wallaby" for obviuos reasons. I just filmed this short clip through the guest room window without disturbing her. The wallaby mother is wild, but feels at home in our yard. I'm not sure if this will interest anyone at all other than me, but maybe my great neice, Melissa, who hasn't seen a wallaby or a joey yet, when she's a little older. To me, wallaby mother and her joey are just beautiful. Have fun explaining the concept of a pouch to her, Angela! I might have to mail you a little stuffed wallaby toy to help explain that hahaha.
To anyone who might be interested, the wallaby is just like a kangaroo, but it's a smaller species. This Pretty-Faced Wallaby mother if less than a meter tall, the joey (joey by the way was said to be from the Aboriginal word "joe' - (with an accent on the e)" for the young of kangaroos and wallabies by the way) is about the size of a small puppy, but with big feet and a long tail. I would have loved to film how he squeezes all of that into mum's pouch, but missed that bit while going outside to film the last clip when he's already in the pouch again. I can get to within about eight feet before mum runs away. She looks at me, but doesn't see me as a threat, because she's so used to me being around in the yard.
For any subscriber hoping that this was parts six and seven of the Mystery in the Eighteen Mile Swamp series, they're finished, but nobody seem to be watching them, so I've almost lost interest to be honest. It's a pity, because the until now never published evidence of how the wreck actually got so far into the swamp at about 8am on the 11th of May 1877 is quite compelling. Better still is the possibility that this is a very, very special ship indeed, even how the wreck got there from where she could have been partly burned in a pyroclastic flow.... Yes, it is possible that she could even be the Santa I.... (because all the evidence so far lets us interpret a simple message survivors had left which had not been understood properly before) (Yes, Juan and Woonunga were the convicts Pamphlett and Finnegan, but there apparently were survivors of a very much older wreck that could have washed up on the outer bank 182 years before the tsunami washed it inland). Please let me know if you really do want to see the rest of that series and I'll upload it, even if Slideshare may be more appropriate because of the format. Maybe I should even try to film a bit inside the swamp at the wreck's actual location for part eight, although it's very hard to get there. The tsunami finally also helps explain the apparent discrepancy between Fred Campbell's location, a mile inland and four miles north of Swan Bay, and the current location of what is left of her, because there is evidence that "Swan Bay" referred to the larger body of water right behind Jumpinpin (and not just the small bay called that which we see today), before that sandy strip washed away in 1896 or 1898... Oh, if you do send an email request re that other video, please be patient, I don't check that mailbox very often any more. Cheers, Tom
