Best kangaroo on the beach picture I’ve ever seen!

Speaking of state laws and one which is unique to QLD.

Having pet rabbits or selling them in Qld carries penalties of up to six months in jail and a $44,000 fine.

I saw a sign with that message when I cycled toward Brisbane. I should have taken a photo.

Hi Graham, I know nothing of Australia's federal and state laws but I would have thought the owners of dogs involving attacks on people and other animals would attract heavy sanctions as is the case in much of the world. However, even though I had walked past the dogs as directed by the owner, I still felt I should have detected it felt threatened and that I carried some of the liability because I didn't give it space. I believe the owner's contrition was genuine and her response, at the very least, adequate but I suspect she was relieved I didn't make a song and dance out of the affair.

That dog owner has good reason to be contrite. Recent changes … this year… to Qld law put her right in the frame for substantial fines.

These laws followed some horrific incidents incidents including the death of parcel delivery guy.

Max. Penalty is now $108,000 fine and several years jail.

It looks and feels a lot better now. I pride myself on reading, a d managing, dogs' behaviour but I got it wrong this time.

Very comforting. As bad as it looks, I’m glad it wasn’t worse.

Nice find! This might be the best mailbox I’ve seen.

74 wheels on the road!

Wow, that's a jumbo rig!

That’s rotten about the dog bites! Hope it heals ok and there are better days ahead.

Hi Suzanne, according to the Australian Government Department of Health there is no rabies in Australia. See https://www.health.gov.au/diseases/rabies#:~:text=There%20is%20no%20rabies%20in%20Australia.

How terrible. Do you have rabies immunisation?

Nice!

Lucky! Neat critter.

Yikes!
