Tuesday 5th November 1320 – 1415

No Rain. Cloudy with sunny periods. Humid. Moderate SE breeze. Track dry.

Thomas and I on deck today and found the Brushtail Possum in residence again at Allumbah pocket. A Saw-shelled Turtle was on a rock close to the Memorial Bench while an Eastern Water Dragon was further along the track opposite Snodgrass’s Pool. Half a dozen more turtles were at the log jam – why would four of them chose to occupy the same log? Once again no Platypus active and no Green Ringtail Possums. The family of Bush Stone-curlews seem to have settled on a regular home on the block next to The Doctor House.

Common Brushtail Possum. Trichosurus vulpecula

Seems to have a firm grip on the branch but now showing face again.

Saw-shelled Turtle. Elseya latisternum

Near the Memorial Bench
A sort of turtle Club Sandwich?

Bush Stone-curlew. Burhinus grallarius

Nice group but focus could be better.
