Monday 11th November 2019. 1310 – 1410

No rain. Hot and sunny. Breeze gusty at times. Track dry.

Cody opted to stay home in the cool. Thomas and I found an Easter Water Dragon on the rocks near Memorial Bench and at the Log Jam there were three Saw-shelled turtles, none very large. Met a couple from SW Germany who wanted to show me a Tree Kangaroo, which turned out to be a Green Ringtail Possum. Was able to put them straight and also to introduce a pair of Filipino blokes now living in Townsville and a tour group from the Daintree. Thomas was rewarded with some well earned pats!. No Platypus seen but a Pale-yellow Robin found me at the Narrows. The Bush Stone-curlew family were again near The Doctor House.

Eastern Water Dragon. Physignathus lesueurii

This seems to be most popular spot at present.

Saw-shelled Turtle. Elseya latisternum

Big log, small Turtle.
Another mighty midget!
Biggest of the day but quite small compared with some of the Turtles seen here.

Green Ringtail Possum. Pseudochirax archeri

First view displaying tail
Partial view of face.
Best shot of the day

Pale-yellow Robin. Tregellasia capito

At the Narrows
Very friendly little birds who are never in a rush to fly away.

Dad back in the fold today although chick has turned his back!
