Sunday 8th September 2019. 1350 – 1450

No rain. Warmer this morning. Bright and sunny . Slight breeze. Track dry and cracking.

Thomas and I saw a Platypus while crossing Lloyd’s Suspension Bridge which usually bodes well for an interesting walk. A large Eastern Water Dragon was on the rocks just past the Memorial Bench and a few yards further on there was another Platypus . The tree in which we saw the Tree Kangaroos yesterday was today hosting a solitary Green Ringtail Possum. She was a little wary and decided to move, revealing an unusual view of her pouch opening. I wondered if her pouch is in fact occupied. A lonely Turtle was on guard at the Log Jam but refusing to reveal his face. The female Green Ringtail Possum and Joey were welcoming guests in their favourite tree and were introduced to several groups of visitors. A third Platypus was on the shallow mud bank opposite the Viewing Platform and seemed very busy in the mud and floating leaves. One of my shots shows his bill wide open. The flock of Plumed Whistling-ducks was back on the far bank of the tributary in the paddock behind the car park.
