While up in Darwin I had a bit of time to see have a look at a few of the sights. I went to the Aquascene and the Territory Wildlife Park. The fish feeding was fun. You got to go right into the water and feed the fish.

The fish swarm around wanting food.
The Teira Batfish also come out of the water to get some bread. These fish normally eat coral so it might be a nice change.

A Reef Egret (Egretta sacra) watching the fish as we feed them. He was even having a go at some of the smaller ones.
A Katydid that jumped on me while in Darwin.
A pretty big phasmid, possibly a Goliath Stick Insect (Eurycnema goliath), that was sitting on a fence at the Northern Territory Wildlife Park.
A Merten's Water Monitor (Varanus mertensi) basking on a log.
