No rain. Overcast with glimpses of blue sky. Light breeze. Track damp. No mud or puddles.

Nothing doing at Allumbah Pocket and Eastern Water Dragons still in bed or indisposed.
White Spot the Green Ringtail Possum was sitting in a fork of her favourite tree with joey peeking out from behind her. A trial of various locations revealed more and more with the best view obtained through a narrow gap from the opposite side of the tree.
Cicadas very noisy but failed to locate one close enough to photograph until Log Jam Peninsula. Also saw a solitary Saw-shelled Turtle on the Logs but started to move on our arrival. Fortunately kept my finger on the trigger and managed to capture my first views of a turtle dive!
On the upstream side of the Peninsula, Christmas Beetles were active on the flowers.
We than met for the second time Lucy and her parents from Victoria. The adults had a chat while Lucy and Thomas had a love in. Hope they managed to spot the Possum.
Magpie Geese and Bush Stone-curlews were numerous in the paddock behind the car park with a few Swamphens. A pair of late rising Curlews were recumbent at Nick’s camping area.
