laughing kookaburra




We had a bunch of fun figuring out this maze. Took this picture for the wall at Zukey Lake where they post people from around the world wearing Zukey stuff. Yesterday we spotted a Kookaburra. And if that gets you started on the laugh Kookaburra song, a gum tree is a eucalyptus tree. Kookaburras are considered useful birds as they devour small rodents, snakes and harmful insects. Also saw a lizard about a foot long. The front office called it a blue tongue lizard, "Where there are blue tongue there won't be snakes."

  1. It looks like you're promoting U of M down under with your BLUE Zukey shirt next to MAZE.

  2. For those who are interested in the lyrics to the Kookaburris song...I had tolook them up after seeing this post!

    Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
    Merry, merry king of the bush is he
    Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra!
    Gay your life must be

    Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
    Eating all the gum drops he can see
    Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
    Leave some there for me

    Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
    Counting all the monkeys he can see
    Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
    That's not a monkey that's me

    Kookaburra sits on a rusty nail
    Gets a boo-boo in his tail
    Cry, Kookaburra! Cry, kookaburra!
    Oh how life can be
