Monday 23rd September. 1330 – 1430

4.5 mm of rain overnight. Cloudy with sunny periods. Light breeze. Track dry.

Fully manned today with Cody, Thomas and daughter Pippa acting as hound handler. Only two Platypus seen today with a small female preceding us along the creek to the Log Jam and turning back without staying still for more than a moment. A male Platypus surfaced a couple of times through the weed mat at the same location but was not seen again. This was more than made up for by two Green Ringtail Possums, the lone female in the tree opposite Snodgrass’s Pool and the abandoned juvenile at the Overhanging Bushes. She was in a very definite “I wish to be alone” mood and totally ignored us and passing group of visitors. Perhaps more sunshine will help tomorrow.
