Saturday 2nd November 2019. 1420 – 1525

No rain. Scattered clouds with sunny periods. Humid. Light variable breeze. Track dry.

Just Thomas and I again today. Checked the Golden Orb Weaver who is still immobile in the same spot. The Brushtail Possum was at Allumbah Pocket home and ears were visible today which has to be an improvement. The smallest Eastern Water Dragon I have ever seen was on a rock near the Memorial Bench and a larger one on the rocks opposite. Light constraints made a good image difficult. We also saw a large Dragon on the far bank at the Log Jam. On the way there a pair of Barred Cuckooshrikes flew into large river Oak between Platypus Bend and the Log Jam peninsula. There were as usual 5 or so Saw-shelled Turtles of varying sizes down to minute at the Log Jam and we enjoyed their company with a couple from Scotland who were kind enough to give Thomas his ration of pats. A Green Ringtail Possum peered at me around the trunk of a River Oak which extends branches into No 5 of the Overhanging Bushes. The sight of me must have shocked her as she scampered out of sight onto a branch on the other side of the tree. Another GRP was in No 2 of the Bushes and very well obscured. I introduced both of them to a young couple from Cairns who were very enthusiastic and was also able to show them the Bush Stone-curlew family who today were close to the clump of Golden Cane Palm on the block adjoining The Doctor House.
