I share the park with this couple, who have been residents for more than 10 years, and regularly lay eggs, brood and hatch their young.
It's great to watch this couple sharing the job of sitting on the eggs, and guarding each other. 
The chicks start as a very small ball of fluff on 2 match sticks, but they grow very fast.

beeeaauuuuTifullll!!

Look like Bush Stone-curlews (Burhinus grallarius)

I had to look up Michael Morcombe's field guide for that.

Interesting neighbours, if a little noisy at times.

Yes they are bush stone curlews. They howl at night as they patrol their territory and communicate with neighbouring curlews to reinforce the territory thing between them. This pair is quite placid but they growl and the wings come out if someone gets too close. It's quite beautiful. Thanks for the comments. I'm glad I could share with you. Cheers Granny

Our pleasure entirely, I'm sure, CG.

A couple of inquisitive animals at Sapphire

fantastic photos from the pair of you, well done, I'm jealous and have itchy feet

Oh wow! Steak on the hoof. Make mine medium rare please. Oops, sorry, just had a flash back to cattle station mode. I'll be alright, I'm back now. I just love the critters, even if they're potential bbq fodder. Wish I was there. Cheers Chris

bloody hell granny, great minds and all that, as soon as I seen that I was looking for the brand, it is still legal to cook a "cleanskin" isn't it. and wondering how big their freezer was!!!!!!

No ear tags either. Finder keepers Dave. If the killer is butchered properly, I'm sure we could fit the beast will find psace for it. Let's go hunting. Comin'? Roo is good too, but I haven't tried wallaby. Then there's emu, bustard (oops protected - too late), goat, buffalo or camel. Cooked right I've eaten all of the above except camel. I won't starve out there. It's all good. Get out that camp oven and I'll see what I can do. Yum. Cheers Chris

absolutely, eaten most of the above as well, as long as the wallaby is youngish they are great slow roasted, camel is a bit "rangy" for me, emu a bit "stringy" but in the right hands it's ok, havent had the bustard but tried galah and croc as well as a big snake that wasnt quick enough, cooked him black feller style, yummm!!! dont like goat unless it's real young do you know the bushys secret about cooking galah, put the galah and a rock in a large saucepan, cook until the rock is soft and throw the galah away and eat the rock! same as possums wonder if he'd miss a leg as he went past, he look's very lean, have to cook him quick!! gonna need a bigger camp oven if we chuck him in there
