Tuesday 26th November. 1230-1330

No rain. Sunny with scattered cumulus clouds. Some thunderheads on eastern horizon later. Track dry.

No Post yesterday as suffering from a bout of vertigo. I don’t mind falling in the water but would hate to fall in with my camera and lens!
Thomas and I checked out Allumbah Pocket and the only resident on view was the Golden Orb-weaver. Met a couple from Germany at the Memorial Bench where they had just spotted an Eastern Water Skink. Had a chat and showed them the Eastern Water Dragon just across the path in a regular spot. Three Turtles were at the Log Jam, one being a Krefft’s Short-necked while the others were the regular Saw-shelled. Saw several large turtles just below the surface but reluctant to poke up their noses. At Platy’s Pool a Freshwater Snake swam at some speed to a mass of weed in mid stream, paused for a photo opportunity and then proceeded to and climbed the far bank. No Platypus or Possums again today. The large Golden Orb Weaver was still in the same spot on the approach to the Highway Bridge. A pair of Bush Stone-curlews were at Nick’s Camping Area and the boys were sitting on both Figbird nests. Just reminds the rest of us males that just because you wear a fancy suit doesn’t let you off child care!
