Superb Fairywren (Malurus cyaneus) it was one of the most common birds seen during the trip. The best photos of the males in breeding plumage were seen at Tower Hill, had fun time seeing them fequently pop in and out of the shrubs onto the path. These birds mostly forage on the ground or low shrub areas for insects and supplement their diet with small seeds and fruits.

Tumbarumba - A Study in Black and White
An early evening on a hot day was an opportunity for a challenge. To photograph in black and white the township of Tumbarumba.
If you enjoy this blog or any particular images, please leave a comment somewhere.
Our comfortable accommodation was fifty metres from The Parade (the main street of Tumbaruma). #blackrangelodgetumbarumba
This old church building says it all?
I met someone from the Men's Shed walking his dog, who told me all about their most recent project - a three-year restoration of a rail car used on the old Tumbaruma rail line. When complete it will be relocated to the trailhead for the Rail Trail from Tumbarumba to Rosewood, to act as a combined Rail and Fire Museum and Activity Center for the Rail Trail. The beautifully restored carriage was to the right of this building in its own enclosure.
Fuel for anything that goes.
What a combination - Dielsel and Firewood!
The Social Centre for the young people of the town is the Swimming Pool under this strikingly shaped Shade Area.
Coming into town from Batlow. The trees are very different from fifty years ago but the paving and landscaping are a real credit to this town. #tumbarumbashirecouncil
If the town looks dead it was 6:30 pm and hot, so most people had retreated to somewhere with good air conditioning - like the two hotels or two clubs.
Have you thought about lunch? That's a great question to ask at lunchtime but that's only 3 hours of the day!
Beautiful old buildings, still functioning at street and treetop level.
The Bush Chemist caters also to those requiring some facial maintenance. #bushchemisttumbarumba
The streets are empty, and the roads are quiet, but those cars indicate that there is still life in the Union Hotel. #unionhoteltumbarumba
This beautiful old building once housed the National Bank. It continues its life as a Cafe with accommodation upstairs. #vaulttumbarumba
Nicely restored shopfront next to the Union Hotel, #unionarcade
It's hot outside, and the Tumbarumba Hotel is the place for a thirsty photographer to have a cold beer, watch the cricket test against India or a variety of football games - even watch the locals play Pool. I chose to chat to some characters about Australia's chances of surviving the day in the cricket - they didn't.
Not a bad place for a feed and a talk at #tumbarumbapub.

The largest mammal at Yellowstone, American Bison 🦬 (Bison bison). This big one crossed the road to the field of flowers. Only the fattest and thickest bisons will survive the harsh yellowstone winters. Well I enjoyed reading the information boards haha
