Friday 6th September 2019. 1345-1430

No rain. Very cold night with ice in our garden. Bright sunny day and hot at lunch time. Track dry.

Thomas and I spied a Platypus immediately on approaching Creek edge near the memorial bench. An Eastern Water Dragon was on the rocks a few yards on and solitary Green Ringtail Possum in the tree opposite Snodgrass’s Pool. A lonely Turtle on the Log Jam sun baking. Saw a second Platypus, but not until just below the Highway Bridge where he was performing for a group of visitors.

Platypus. Ornithorhynchus anatinus

1) Platypus within 2 m of Memorial Bench
2) Having a good feed under floating debris just downstream of Highway Bridge.
Group of very happy tourists were watching him.

Eastern Water Dragon. Physignathus lesueurii

On Rocks near Snodgrass’s Pool

Green Ringtail Possum. Pseudochirax archeri

Another possum with an itch!
Much more comfortable now!
