Australia has some wonderful creatures both large and small. Just walking down the street, along green verges, open gardens and your local parks provides opportunities to see some Australian fauna. Even the walls on the side of buildings may offer a chance to see something, and with your mobile phone, it is a great way to snap those observations. Following are some of the fauna I have photographed on my Samsung mobile phone in Alice Springs.
