Digger Revell

Image
Sydney band The Denvermen was one of the premier Australian surf-instrumental groups of the early 1960s and although they have been somewhat overshadowed by their better-known contemporaries The Atlantics, they certainly deserve more recognition.  The original lineup was formed in late 1961, by members of two earlier Sydney groups, Digger Revell and the Lonely Ones and Paul Dever and the Denvermen.  Denvermen guitarist Les Green brought the Denvermen name with him when that group split and he joined Digger Revell.  The group began by organising its own dances but gained national prominence thanks to appearances on the ABC's pioneering rock'n'roll TV show Six O'Clock Rock hosted by Johnny O'Keefe. In 2012, Digger appeared in Windsor with Luck Starr and Johnny Devlin...

The Leaf Tailed Gecko.

Another snap of the Leaf Tailed Gecko. This little fellow, (Phyllurus platurus) is only found in the Sydney sandstone areas, and is pretty hard to find there, as you can see from this photo.  It has excellent camouflage, and changes the shade of its skin to match as closely as possible, the immediate surroundings. He is nocturnal, feeds on small insects, such as grubs, moths spiders, crickets etc This is the first described Leaf Tailed Gecko having occupied the homes of Sydneysiders since European settlement.
