My Nature Blog
Mum and I made an accidental ascidian discovery when in Williamstown recently. Was had stayed overnight in Melbourne after seeing Moulin Rouge. We decided to take advantage of being in a central location and visit somewhere that we normally wouldn’t go.
We settled on Williamstown so we could check out one of her favourite stores, Back To Basics.
The storefront was so close to the waterfront. We decided to go for a little wander along there to see what we could find.
I’ve never really had much much luck with crakes. I went to Jerringot a fair bit when living out that way and only saw them the once. It took about four visits to Eastern Park to find the Ballions. I didn’t mind: they are elusive buggers and there were other birds higher up on my priority list.
Nonetheless: TWO CRAKES AT ONCE!

Today, I was so fortunate to be invited to Werribee Treatment Plant. I hadn’t been here in ages: I’d stepped back from birding and was craving something different from the usual Barwon River birds.
I’ve been actively working on getting out more and getting my life in order but the WTP is a place I can’t visit independently: It’s so darn large and I won’t be getting my licence for a while. So, when a friend asked if I wanted to come along, I jumped at the chance. I love hanging out with fellow birders. It was one of the first times I’ve been around nature loves and haven’t felt like there is something wrong with me.
We ended up spending about 4 hours here. I’ve found this is the perfect timeframe if you have let to learn the art of discreet peeing.
