Heavy mornings work hand loading a trailer full of volcanic rocks at Quincan Quarry and off loading them and arranging most of them along our front boundary.
Thomas and I felt that we had then earned a stroll along Petersons Creek.
Nothing to be seen at Allumbah Pocket but the large Saw-shelled Turtle was on his usual rock underneath Lloyd’s suspension Bridge. He was the first of numerous Turtles seen near the Memorial Bench, at The Log Jam and on the bank at Platy’s Pool.
A handsome Eastern Water Dragon was sunning himself at the Upper Level where the path leaves The Other Side and another was showing only his head on the rocks opposite Snodgrass’s Pool and was admired by a local couple with their dog who befriended Thomas..
A good selection of Turtles were as already mentioned occupying all the vantage points at the Log Jam.
The same male Green Ringtail Possum was in the first of the Overhanging Bushes and introduced him to a young couple and two older ladies from Coffs Harbour and their dog.
Club Foot one of the regular local Brush Turkeys stopped by for a brief chat at the base of Picnic Peninsula.
No Platypus were seen today.
At Nick’s Camping Area the pair of Bush Stone-curlews were having an off with each other and the Bunya Street Curlew was obviously exhausted after a noisy night.
