Silver Gull (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae) - Juvenile
Small city in the middle of nowhere
Visits
- 2025-12-01: We finally arrived in Bendigo, and we tried to do a walk around the caravan park, but it soon began pouring rain. After a few minutes, it was sunny again, and we went to the center of town in search of a restaurant. There were not a lot of restaurants open on a Sunday night, however. After dinner, we drove out to the edge of town in search of some water treatment ponds, but these ponds were not accessible due to fences around them.
