Thomas and I sighted a Bush Stone-curlew along Bunya St but in a high contrast position unsuitable for photography. Numerous families along the walk and saw no wildlife until the Log Jam where there were a dozen Saw-shelled Turtles and another at Platy’s Pool. The juvenile Green Ringtail Possum was alone today at the Overhanging Bushes. Showed her to a number of visitors including a family from Vancouver and while doing so caught a brief glimpse of a Platypus and a Cairns Birdwing Butterfly flew through the bush! The Bush Stone-curlew was in a similar location near the barbed wire fence, but today accompanied by his mate and two chicks! The athletic Saw-shelled Turtle was again present atop a log in the Platypus Viewing Pool .
