A long way from Botany Bay, but still loving a wattle. Is this Chrysolopus spectabilis? Dargo VIC Australia, December 2010.
Actually I really don't know whether this is a Botany Bay diamond weevil, and I have my doubts.
1. I found it in Victoria, and there aren't many recorded sightings from Victoria, see species profile on ALA. (There may also be other reasons that occurrences don't show up in ALA.)
2. Although at first glance it looks like one, see Mike's photo of a Botany Bay weevil, the markings on the body are different.
3. The green is a different colour
More than two centuries ago this place was named Sting Ray Harbour by Captain James Cook who just landed here in New Holland and caught few sting rays after a Sunday fishing trip. Renamed to Botany Bay later it is now a place of the major port in Australia, Port Botany. A number of berths for container ships and bulk liquid carriers allow for handling of around 10 million tons of various imports and exports in a year. 10 mil. tonnes that’s about 256 Sydney Harbour Bridges exported. If you are still wondering why did I say New Holland, that was the name of the continent at the time. Common for 180 years it was changed to Australia in 1824.
For this picture I made a number of photographs from the tripod with different exposures and a hope that it might merge into a HDR. However, as there were many moving subjects (e.g. ship, water) it proved to be more rewarding to use the single RAW and tonemap it lightly. Numerous lights around the port created thick yellow tone on everything, so I have to reduce the color cast a bit and also enhance the contrast of some areas.
Location: Port Botany, New South Wales, Australia

Pukekohe Kindy provides your child with a fun, safe environment to learn about school, and to prepare for further school. Here are some fun learning activities you can do at home with your preschooler or toddler: - Read together. Reading is one of the best learning activities you can do together. Most preschoolers enjoy being read to, and will begin to choose favorite books or stories. When you finish a book, ask your child to point out one of the characters, or to tell you about the story. Don't be surprised if you end up reading the same book over and over again. Practice animal sounds. This one works in the car, too. Start with easy ones, like cats, dogs, and farm animals, and work your way up to monkeys, donkeys, and snakes. Learn about specific locations or animals. Spend a week or two learning about farms for example read farm related books, visit a local farm, plant something together, or visit the garden center. This type of unit study will be familiar to them when they begin school full time. Build a tower and count how many blocks it is high, or count out cookies at snack time.
Learn shapes and colors from Pukekohe Kindy. Colors can be introduced throughout the course of your normal day. A trip to the grocery store produce aisle can give you lots of colors to choose from something as simple as holding up a tomato and asking your child to identify the color can help cement this knowledge. Practice with pencils and crayons. Your preschooler will love making art with crayons, markers, and pencils, and in addition to expressing his creativity, he will be learning how to hold these writing implements skills he will use in earnest once he begins to learn to write letters and words. - Play with clay. Clay or craft dough is fun to work with, and manipulating the material helps develop hand muscles, which will lead to greater motor control and dexterity. If you are concerned about the mess, play with craft dough at a table outdoors instead of inside.
Preschoolers and toddlers love to move about and dance from Pukekohe Kindy. Put on some music and dance together it is a great workout for both of you, and helps develop important gross motor skills. You can incorporate learning of some type into just about everything you do together. Your preschooler's natural curiosity and interest in learning will make incorporating educational activities into your daily routine a snap. The first day of school is a big moment in a parent's life. Many a mother shed a tear as they watch their youngest head off into the big world, all on their own. Many a child sheds tears too, and that can be a situation difficult to cope with. Children often feel a sudden fear at having to let go and be independent, and they're scared of what they'll have to face at this big unknown called Pukekohe Kindy.
