Gardener?
I'm not sure if this Emu was in a paddock or on the front lawn of a house!! We'd made our way across the causeway now to the top end of Oyster Harbour and spend a few minutes exploring around a car park. I spotted him three a gap in the trees on the other side of the river.- delia todd

Two of a kind
We headed back down to Hawker before setting off east for the long drive across to the other side of S Australia. Shortly after we came across a large field with some Emus in it. These two decided against tangling with the barbed wire.- delia todd

In the trees
The end of eagles for a bit, back to another big bird though in the Emus! After the eagle treat we headed further into the mountains to Angorachina, a real outback settlement where yuppies aren't welcomed LOL. That was time to snoop around their shop, visit the loos and have a coffee and...- delia todd

The big 'uns
Leaving Hucks Lookout to explore deeper into the Flinders Ranges, we very soon came across some Emu... an adult with a young one and this one, slightly separated. He/she looked huge so close to the car.- delia todd

Head in the sand
From the same car park, I spotted an Emu on the other side of the road. The heat haze rather interfered with focusing sadly.- delia todd

North NSW Coastal Emu
This bird was from the endangered population that lives along the north New South Wales coast. Some accounts have the population of this genetically distinct group at around 60 birds. Classified as endangered by the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act, several studies (relocation, captive...- Joe H

Keeping control
I think it's dad that cares for the youngsters; he seems to have the measure of his job anyway LOL. Here was another family of Emus out on the entrance road through the reserve. They weren't far from us but didn't seem at all concerned by our presence. SF- delia todd

Youngsters
We were nearly back at the homestead when we encountered another family of Emus with about 7 juveniles. It might be easier to count the legs LOL- delia todd

Oh so close
While we were watching the stilt, the Emu family wandered off, but the next thing, one appeared from behind the car and wandered down for a drink in front of us. This picture hasn't been zoomed in (or not much), nor cropped! And there was no way I was getting out of the car LOL When he'd...- delia todd

Big, big babies
After a short while, the adults decided we were no threat and allowed the young Emus to emerge for a drink. Such a lovely sight.- delia todd

Big - very big!
Things quietened down at the dam, so we made our way back towards the homestead for lunch. Stopping on route at the top end of the Homestead Dam. We'd only been there minutes when Emus appeared on the opposite side. There were two or three adults and a few youngsters. When the adults spotted...- delia todd

This was one
.... that I didn't get a flight shot of!! Wonder why? Would've been easy, wouldn't it. We got to the top of Oyster Harbour and went into a car parking area, where we had a wander around. The only bird of note I managed to get a picture of was this Emu, who was wandering through a paddock...- delia todd

On the move
A very early start the next morning for the long drive east. Somewhere along the road between Hawker and Peterborough, we passed a very large stubble field with some Emus. They were pretty close to the road, so unfortunately the barbed wire fence got in the way. One of the towns we passed...- delia todd

Shady
After a rather tasty lunch at the hotel in Parachilna, we then set off to explore the Brachina Gorge. In the gorge we came across a family of Emus; here's two of them. The other was in even deeper shade.- delia todd

Family time
After our wander round Wilpena, and a rather nice ice cream to finish off with, we set off to explore the area a bit further on up the road. We turned off to visit Hucks Lookout and what a great view was had there. In that area we found a family of Emus, a mother and a young one and another...- delia todd

Flightless
There are two flightless birds in Australia, the other is the Cassowary, which is found much further to the north. I'm sure this is a different family from others that we saw, as they were in quite different and well separated parts of the property. This lot were not far from where we saw the...- delia todd

Family time
Just as we got back to the homestead gates we found this large family of Emus. We sat and watched them for a few minutes, as eventually they wandered off back into the bush.- delia todd

Disembodied
We were at the Back Dam, Bowra when suddenly Judy started to laugh and attracted our attention to some distant Emus. Remember, we're sitting down in a hollow, so there was quite a high bank, which then gradually fell away towards the forest. About 4 Emus were walking along there and all we...- delia todd

National Bird
The emus drank their fill and started to walk away. They'd really hardly got out of sight when another came in from behind us and walked down to the water just yard from the car! He then waded through to the other side and went off in the same direction as the others. I haven't even cropped...- delia todd
