Emu

Dromaius novaehollandiae

Description:

Largest bird native to Australia. They are flightless, can reach up to 2m high and can sprint up to 50km/hr.

Notes:

They are common down at Wilsons Prom but I have never seen them in a such a large group before. They caused quite the traffic jam!

Great tip from alicelongmartin. It does make a difference. I was caught the first picture by the moment I saw it. Nice capture. Thanks for sharing.

I would put picture 2 or 4 upfront so more people will stop to look! Cool!
