Commemorating the birthday of Charles Darwin on 12 February 1809.
Paleontology has been very significant for consolidating the revolutionary darwinist approach to the study of nature.
This amazing natural accumulation of fossils, mainly ammonites, represents a small patch of sea floor “frozen in time”. These extinct cephalopods have drifted up against pieces of waterlogged driftwood. The aggregate contains four distinct genera of ammonites 200 million years old (Lower Jurassic) [Information from Ulster Museum].

The long-busted myth that Charles Darwin's Eureka! Moment realization of the ability of natural selection to explain the problem of species, came by way of his observation of variation in the beaks of finches is a supermyth. Darwin did no such thing. He failed to understand the significance of the variation in those finch beaks, he never collected the finches, he misclassified 7 of the 13 finches collected. He never even collected them. Darwin was a wanker!!

The giant tortoise is one of the most iconic animals in the Galapagos. El Chato reserve on the Santa Cruz island is home to hundreds of these gentle giants - the perfect place to see them in their natural habitat. It is also an interesting place birds: Darwin tree and ground finches fly between the trees, while yellow warblers add a touch of color to the scene.
Dominance and hierarchy., otherwise known as the Pecking Order
This young Gannet is getting a lesson in it., and in a few years it'll no doubt be dishing it out lessons of it's own
It's the way of the world and the reason every species in the world has evolved to what it has today

Awesome clouds over Darwin Harbour. It was a hot and steamy day that threatened rain, but luckily stayed fine. By far the hottest day of our trip.

The Esplanade overlooking Darwin Harbour in Darwin Northern Territory Australia
The Esplanade overlooking Darwin Harbour with approx. 3klm of paved walk ways surrounded by lush green lawns and palms.
There are many places of interest such as the 200 Territorians On the cliff top running parallel to the Esplanade is a series of commemorative tiles dedicated to 200 typical Territorians.
They are not all famous figures, but they all performed jobs upon which the Territory relied.
There are people such as Ah Toy's, the greengrocers from which vegetables were shipped all over the ‘Top End' by air freight.
There are stockmen and missionaries, politicians and aboriginal leaders.
Then there is Eddie Connellan, who ran the Territory airline Connair (unofficial motto, ‘There's no tellin' with Connellan'), and many other colourful characters.
There is also the World War 11 reminders of what darwin experience many years ago. From the Espanade at the end it adjoins the road past the Administrators House.
As you walk or drive alond the esplanade you look out over to darwin Harbour and often you see large Live Cargo ships, Luxury passenger Ships and even Oil Rig Platforms coming and going thru the habour. 'Only in Darwin'.
As always so hard to get lost as the Esplanade is virtually a striaght strip of land for app. 3klm until it bends around Government House to the back of the bus terminal general area.
The Esplanade as it gently bends around Parliament House.
Then up past the Administrators office and Dameo Ra Pathway steps
The Esplanade then continues on and becomes Harry Chan Avenue where it is known mainly as the offices for Darwin City Council. Just after Smith Street finishes at.
The Esplanade the there is a noticable picturesque shaded road veering off right down the hill.
This is Hughes Road and leads to the Wharf Precinct. At the bottom of this road turn left for Stokes Hill Wharf and the cafes or right for Fort Hill Wharf.

Darwin Waterfront
Our story
When we reflect on the Darwin Waterfront and harbour over time, we think of it as a place that people came and went, a ‘maritime hub’.
Water is a prominent theme of Darwin Waterfront's history, environment, culture through Larrakia stories, recreational spaces and leisure activities.
The Larrakia people travelled the harbour, fishing, hunting and gathering food, conducting ceremonies and visiting sacred sites and countrymen.
Early surveyors, adventurers, settlers and gold seekers arrived by sea and crossed and re-crossed the harbour from this point to access the interior, carve a home out of the harsh tropical landscape or seek their fame and fortune. The railway also started and finished here.
From the 1930s, the spectacular flying boats landed and took off, and the pearling fleet was based nearby.
For many years cattle were loaded at what was then known as Darwin Town Wharf, with a small side jetty used as the flying boat terminal.
Right up until World War II, it was the place where everyone who was coming from and going to Darwin passed through. Stokes Hill Wharf, that you can see today, was completed in 1956 and was the main wharf until East Arm Darwin Port was completed in 2000 and Fort Hill Wharf was refurbished in 2005.
Cruise ships soon became a distinctive feature and as the Waterfront was the first view international visitors had of Darwin the area was developed as a place to walk, sit by the water, swim in the lagoon, dine at world-class restaurants and enjoy spectacular sunsets.
Today, it is a tropical lifestyle destination that attracts over a million people each year
Parc Torres Del Paine
Il ressemble à une autruche bien qu'il soit considérablement plus petit. Il est d'ailleurs parfois appelé 'autruche d'Amérique du Sud'. Ses ailes sont proportionnellement plus larges que celles de la plupart des autres ratites, même s'il est, lui aussi, absolument incapable de voler. Il a trois orteils, une griffe puissante à l'extrémité de chaque aile dont il se sert effectivement comme arme. Des plumes lisses et douces couvrent les cuisses et la partie supérieure des tarses. Le nandou de Darwin est brun avec des mouchetures blanches en tout plumage. La femelle est plus terne, les marques blanches sont moins importantes sur le dessus. Le juvénile est brun uni, sans marquage. Il n'acquiert progressivement l'intégralité de son plumage adulte qu'à sa troisième ou quatrième année.
