			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a strange winter with temperatures far above 30 degrees spring is now around the corner. Many many animals show up again looking for partners and/or places to live. Brush turkeys and regularly even a lace monitor climbs up to our garden to look around. Possums and Koalas are also very busy and many strange insects can be seen everywhere.</p>
<p><a title="Koala in garden." href="http://vandijktrack.com/blogmedia/090921/090906koala.jpg" target="_blank" rel="lightbox[1235]"><img title="Koala in garden." src="http://vandijktrack.com/blogmedia/090921/090906koala.jpg" alt="Koala in garden." width="158" height="210" /></a> <a title="Possum in garden." href="http://vandijktrack.com/blogmedia/090921/090906possum.jpg" target="_blank" rel="lightbox[1235]"><img src="http://vandijktrack.com/blogmedia/090921/090906possum.jpg" alt="" width="158" height="210" /></a> <a title="Lace monitor on our lawn." href="http://vandijktrack.com/blogmedia/090921/090911lacemonitor.jpg" target="_blank" rel="lightbox[1235]"><img title="Lace monitor on or lawn." src="http://vandijktrack.com/blogmedia/090921/090911lacemonitor.jpg" alt="Lace monitor on or lawn." width="280" height="210" /></a></p>
<p>Snakes are very active at the moment and we saw our first red back spider. These <a href="http://australianmuseum.net.au/Redback-Spider" target="_blank">red back spiders</a> are not very dangerous as long you leave them alone, but if you get bitten it can be painful and even cause death.</p>

<p>In daily life the kids keep enjoying themselves in the many playgrounds and we all love the walking tracks and barbeques in national parks (like in the <a href="http://www.karawatha.com/" target="_blank">Karwatha Park</a> on the picture). This year we watched the river fire from the balcony of friends close to the city centre. That was much easier than <a href="http://vandijktrack.com/2008/09/21/184/" target="_blank">last year</a>.</p>

<p><a title="One of the beautiful plants in our garden." href="http://vandijktrack.com/blogmedia/090921/090916plant.jpg" target="_blank" rel="lightbox[1235]"><img style="margin: 0px 15px 0px 10px; display: inline" title="One of the beautiful plants in our garden." src="http://vandijktrack.com/blogmedia/090921/090916plant.jpg" alt="One of the beautiful plants in our garden." width="227" height="170" align="right" /></a>If the possum didn’t eat all the blossoms we also can enjoy nice flowers in our garden.</p>
<p>That’s it for now. We’re still healthy and happy and we hope you are as well.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
