Oh wow! Great capture of a kookaburra! Hawthorn is one of my favourites. We have made haw wine before, and its spirit too has been quite significant for me, particularly when I moved to the UK. Sounds like you had a much needed day ou of the city. May there be more soon.

It would have been nice to stay a couple of days. I think I could have done with a decent hot springs soak.
