That's My World Tuesday
On Friday I went out to the interstate highway, (it is freeway most of the way) and stopped at the conveniences as I try to arrive early. The toilets were being cleaned so I drank the drink I had brought from home in the Eski/cooler. I spotted an echidna walking across the lawn from the creek. This lawn actually joins onto the highway at the end of it. He went to the side fence where the elm tree was, it is a bit sandy there.
He only curled up into a ball twice and quickly uncurled. I had put my bag down and I thought he was going to walk over it. A lady at a shop jokingly said he may have hopped in!
What a lovely quiet echidna!

Great to see some of our rare Australia wildlife. Echidnas are a queer creature, aren't they? We see a few around here, usually on the road sides. Thanks for the pics,

I've never seen one in person, and for you to just spot one... sigh.
Jealous!
There are lots in other countries to yours but no mention of the Australian ones.

If you look at the picture on the link, I haven't seen ours to that with their hand. Of course the nose is very different.
