Heron, Wallaby and Shellducks
The Australian Grand Prix track for Superbikes is located on Phillip Island and it was practice time. Entrance was about 13 Dollars just to watch the practice runs but fortunately the road goes past the track!

Bull Ant.Excerpt from Wikipedia...
"the bulldog-ant of Australia affords us the most extraordinary example of this kind; for if it is cut in two, a battle begins between the head and the tail. The head seizes the tail in its teeth, and the tail defends itself bravely by stinging the head: the battle may last for half an hour, until they die or are dragged away by other ants. This contest takes place every time the experiment is tried" Arthur Schopenhauer
