Kookaburras for lunch

 "They kill snakes by slamming them against a tree or rocks," said Catherine, pointing out the kookaburra sitting in a tree nearby.  The Rotary Club of Gloucester had prepared a steak sandwich picnic for us on the grounds of a local park as we drove through on our way to Forster on the coast.

"We put our bacon rinds in the compost," she continued, "and the kookaburras come and pluck them out, think they're worms.  Then they smash the bacon rinds against the fence to kill them."
