Wildlife Report

On arrival at Allumbah Pocket I quickly found a Green Ringtail Possum in a tree at the informal entrance. Unfortunately she was well rugged up for the cold and surrounded by foliage making identification impossible but I suspect that this was “Mrs Green”.
Nothing else was around so I continued on to the Memorial Bench where a moderately sized Saw-shelled Turtle was on a rock close to the bank and provided a good photo.
At the Log Jam another Turtle was posing on top of the concrete slab but there was nothing else around.
Turtles seemed to be the order of the day and another was snapped on the sloping log opposite the Overhanging Bushes.
At the Lomandra clump near the Highway Bridge a red morph Golden Orb-weaver Spider added to my tally but there were no Bats to be seen under the Bridge today.
On the East Bank I soon spotted the young male Lumholtz’s Tree Kangaroo in his favourite tree and got some nice shots. I also shared with three tourists from down South who were thrilled to see him.
The juvenile Brushtail Possum was displaying his rump in the hollow tree and
“Tatty” the Coppery Brushtail was in a delightfully coy position in her Fig Tree.
