Large Golden Orb-weaver Spider found at Allumbah Pocket while searching for potential possum perches. Glimpsed a male Eastern Whipbird at the same location. The same two Eastern Water Dragons were seen on the Rock Piles between Memorial Bench and Snodgrass’s Pool. At the Log Jam only a minute Turtle was present but my visit was preceded by 2 excited children. I also had a brief glimpse of a large Saw-shelled Turtle at Picnic Peninsula. Two Platypus were seen at Platy’s Pool, one only a glimpse, but two more sightings were reported to me. No possums found today but the Olive-backed Sunbirds were busy building their nest at Quincan Cafe.
