almost certain that we saw these today at Auburn Botanical Garden
But, I could’ve sworn they had a pink cere (the bit over the beak, thats right yeah) and all of the pics I’ve found, they’re yellow.
did I imagine it? forgot the camera. as you do :/

I never been there, but you can ask on their facebook page, and like it as well, and look at their albino wallaby.

Be nice to see a whole herd of them bounding through the snow.

I think you may be describing one of their domestic geese – CBG certainly have only the green-yellow beak cere. We have them here at Perth zoo (AFAIK), and they are native to the islands off Esperance in the Recherche archipelago – I’ve seen them there on the islands – if you take a wildlife cruise from Esperance you can get to see them.

Cape Barren Geese?

or albino wallabies?

Snow wallabies and snow geese.

six white boomers…

Anyway – the gardens look very pleasant. They have aq Japanese garden, which must go off bloom-wise in spring. I’d wager good money that they have a cherry blossum festival.

I so have Cereopsis novaehollandiae grisea ticked on my list

Just noticed the thread title –
When Mathew Flinders sailed vairous expeditions along the southern coastline of Australia, from Albany (King George Sound) all the way across to Taswegia and up the east coast, they named the coastline as they mapped it. Part of these voyages were actually a race against THE FRENCH!

Anyhoo – they named places like Cape Barren, Cape Arid, Cape Its Effing Dry and This Is A Most Miserable Part Of The World with a theme. Some sort of theme.

definitely cape barron, I checked.
I was just wondering if I’d imagined the pink beak thing….next time we go I will not forget the camera.
