Thanks so much! ❤It was just perfect! 😃 Raymond Island is a gorgeous & relatively unspoilt little island!!

[@whats.up.pat.]

nice. enjoy your day capturing beautiful sights

[@naturephotographychallenge]

Thanks for watching! 😀 It really was a fabulous place!!

[@WonderfulWorld316]

WOW! Yet another video from you guys in which I can't decide which creature is my favourite. But the koala noses always get me. 😃 You've captured some amazing portraits.

[@naturephotographychallenge]

Thank you! 🙂 I love those little Koala noses!! How cute are they!!

[@caroldaniels7076]

Very enjoyable to watch and it’s given me itchy feet. 😅 Victoria has so many delightful places. Thanks again guys.

[@naturephotographychallenge]

Thanks! ❤ Victoria is quite remarkable and so beautiful. Lots to see 🙂

[@brianhoulihan9335]

Great little spot with lots of wildlife😃

[@naturephotographychallenge]

It's just a fantastic place! I would live there!! 😃

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

WOW! How good was that Sea Eagle. Loved the Lorikeets ❤Those Koalas were beautifyl. We were at Raymond Island two years ago. But you discovered much more than we did in the time we were there. We also so many Little Corellas. The day we went was a hot scorcher of a day and those poor Koalas were suffering, the locals were hosing them down to cool them off. You got some escellent bird shots and I loved the swan pics. Great to also have seen some Kangaroos. You guys had a fabulous weekend. Enjoyed coming along with you on your adventure. 👍🏼❤🙏🏼🤗🐨🦘

[@naturephotographychallenge]

Thanks! 🙂 There was so much to see! We could have stayed a week but it just means we will have to go back again! We were hoping to see a resident Echidna but he never popped out to say hello. The Koalas must have to deal with some pretty awful weather. I just wanted to hug them all 😃

I was visiting mum and dad a couple of weeks ago. You can see Raymond Island from their back deck. We love wandering around seeing how many koalas we can see on a walk. Beautiful video, as always! (Ali)

[@naturephotographychallenge]

Thanks Ali! ❤ Wow... you're lucky!! What a great area to live (and visit)! Has your mum & dad lived in the area for a long time?

[@AGDaws]

[@naturephotographychallenge]

[@palebluedot3192]

What an incredible spot and fascinating footage of that Comb Jelly guys! Amazing to see that bioluminescence caught on camera! What tipped you off to that identification from above? :)

[@naturephotographychallenge]

Thanks! 😃 That Comb Jelly was a real surprise! Nimal is the knowledgeable one! He saw it & knew everything about them (he has a PhD in Marine Biology). So if we see anything fascinating, I always ask him what it is & what it does 🙂 Very handy!!

[@palebluedot3192]

@@naturephotographychallenge Handy indeed! Fascinating stuff :D

[@craig9563]

[@naturephotographychallenge]
