Echo the Australian magpie annoying a tuxedo cat named Gilbert in Thames, New Zealand. The pair are known to be friends, though the magpie is often described as an annoying sibling that frequently pushes limits. They are part of a group called "Tuxedoes Unite" located in Karangahake, New Zealand.

This is the Coffee Pot, a little steam train which travels slowly between Port Augusta & Quorn, South Australia. A wonderful little train & rolling hills, what's not to like. Sadly not my pic.

The Pichi Richi Railway's 'Afghan Express' travels from Port Augusta to Quorn and passes right by the farm where I was staying. In fact, the hills behind the train are part of the farm. After a bbq lunch, we went to the top to take photos on its return run and enjoy the views.
