Flamingos once graced Australia with their presence. Lake Eyre had 3 different species of flamingos and Australia as a whole had 6 different species call this place home. In 1988 a greater flamingo dropped in at North Keeling Island, north-west of Perth, and stayd a couple of months. It is thought it wandered over from India or Sri Lanka. When Australia became too drought-prone for the last outback flamingos some of them may have escaped to Asia, which makes it possible that this wanderer had Australian ancestors. Just like the wandering flamingo, our Rose will drop in for a quick visit every now and then.
