Rain 7 mm. Scattered high cloud with building cumulus over Dividing Range. Watery sun. Light southerly breeze. Track Damp.

Nothing seen until the Memorial Bench where White Spot the Green Ringtail Possum was occupying her usual spot in her favourite tree. Focusing was difficult and Joey was declining to show his face while Mum had a firm grip on his back!
At Snodgrass’s pool an elegant young GRP was in the trees on the Creek bank.
An Eastern Water Dragon was alongside the path to the Upper Level just opposite.
Cicadas were calling but mostly high in the trees and difficult to spot.
No Platypus were seen and the Turtles were also making themselves scarce.
Saw nothing more until the Highway Bridge where on the rocks beneath a tiny Eastern Water Dragon was taking the early morning sun.
A group of Bush Stone-curlews were chatting in the Paddock while a few of them were preening in unison.
A mixed flock of Australian White Ibis and Straw-necked Ibis were feeding in the Paddock.
