Taking a different path at the lake had me discovering some interesting vistas. Coming out again at one point next to pastureland I zoomed in on an very interesting house set quite a way in the distance. Not the normal Australian dwelling, it had a feel of Mexico about it.
The highlight of this walk though was seeing a scarlet robin.
The Noongar people of southwestern Australia say that in the dreaming, Chitty-Chitty (Willie Wagtails) and Karlimoot (Scarlet Robins) were fighting over the hunting rights when Chitty-Chitty hit Karlimoot in the face, making his beak bleed. Forever staining his chest.
To this day they still fight for territory...
