Aminata muscaria (fly agaric or fly amanita) are introduced species in Australia typically found under exotic trees, pines and oaks usually. Poisonous and psychoactive (muscimol) if eaten and dangerous to children especially. The species is fairly rare in Australia and largely restricted to pine and oak plantations. Finds create wonder and excitement among children because of the toadstools beauty and association with European fairy tales. This example was found in the century old cork oak plantation in the Australian National Arboretum Canberra.

The English Electric Canberra is a British first-generation jet-powered medium bomber manufactured in large numbers through the 1950s. The Canberra could fly at a higher altitude than any other bomber through the 1950s and set a world altitude record of 70,310 ft (21,430 m) in 1957. Due to its ability to evade the early jet interceptors and its significant performance advancement over contemporary piston-engined bombers, the Canberra was a popular export product and served with air forces of many nations.

We got up early to go to the balloon festival in Canberra. It was worth it and very interesting. Even though it did not seem windy, it was windy enough to make them stay tethered.
Another Canberra nose, this time of B.2 99+35 of the West German Military Geographic Service (Mil Geo AMT). She originally served with the RAF as WK138, and was transferred to the Luftwaffe in 1966 after having much of her bombing equipment replaced with reconnaissance kit. She was used for mapping duties, radar calibration and 'research' observations of Russian activities. Apparently the bright orange colour scheme of the three such aircraft was intended to persuade the Russians that their role was inocuous! German Canberras were retired by 1993.
