Wildlife Report

I was thinking about getting ready for a walk this afternoon when I received a message from Matt to tell me that there was a Tree Kangaroo in the tree next to the Suspension Bridge.
Galvanized into action I changed and was down at Allumbah Pocket and taking photographs within ten minutes and a beautiful Lumholtz’s Tree Kangaroo it was too.
I was so intent with this that I missed spotting the Green Ringtail Possum which was in the same tree!
I found nothing at The Other Side and at Horseshoe Rocks I saw only a small Eastern Water Dragon which vanished in the rocks before I could raise my camera.
At Snodgrass’s Pool I caught up with Matt who was with 2 friends from Brisbane watching an active Platypus so I joined in the fun.
We went our separate ways and I saw nothing more until The Log Jam where there were a collection of Saw-shelled Turtles but looking less photogenic than usual.
I continued on snapping another Turtle on the fallen tree near the base of Picnic Peninsula.
While crossing Highway Bridge I photographed a juvenile Eastern Water Dragon on the rocks below.
Nothing was seen at the Viewing Platform or in the paddock opposite but along the lane leading through to Bunya Street I found a female Green Ringtail Possum sitting on one side of a tree trunk while her joey was perched on the other side.
