Birds of Currawong


Just got back from a lovely weekend at Currawong. One of the things I enjoy is the abundance of birds and other wildlife, which makes for a lovely scenic addition to the peaceful surroundings. 
 
We were looking for dolphins but alas they'd moved on by the time I grabbed my camera.









The Currawong was trying to escape the storm - but alas my camera couldn't focus in the torrential downpour....

    I would want to go there just to hear it pronounced. Sounds like something from a fairy tale and one of the reasons I love to blog!

      Currawong is named after the birds, but the word itself "the exact origin of term is unclear; the most likely antecedent is the word garrawaĊ‹ from the local Jagera language from the Brisbane region, although the Dharug word gurawaruĊ‹ from the Sydney basin is a possibility.Yungang as well as kurrawang and kurrawah are names from the Tharawal people of the Illawarra region."
