We are no football fans, but because we live in Perth and near the Optus Stadium, it’s hard to ignore when we see the Eagles’ emblem all the time. Gotta say we feel proud of the Eagles team and their supporters. Yay! We were in mid-air when the captain announced that West Coast Eagles beat Collingwood Magpies to win the 2018 AFL Grand Finals. A while later, we overheard from the seats behind, “… Western Australia seems to always be doing things differently from the rest of the other states.” Seeing and experiencing it as a visitor, the differences creates diversity and makes the country really interesting and exciting to explore. West coast, or East coast, surely Aussies share more in common than just love for football?

A really humorous post from one of our followers who shared our post. I find it candid, but undoubtedly hilarious and witty.

But hey, apparently, magpie swooping is a real problem in Australia during their breeding season from July to November. And magpies are not the only threat. I was minding my own business getting from Point A to B through Hyde Park on the footpath, and was attacked by a duck with its ducklings grazing on the grass verge nearby. It ran a few metres just to snap its bill at my ankle .

Oh, this follower has since become a collector and supporter of our Bali Starling fundraising campaign for Begawan Foundation! Silent Doodles thank him for his support
