Sunday 20th October 2019. 1055-1205

Bright sunshine from cloud free sky. Fresh gusty breeze to 20 knots. Track dry.

For second consecutive day no canine companions and no Platypus today either!
Two Eastern Water Dragons on the rocks above Memorial Bench and next rock pile. Neither of spectacular in size but the first a long lizard! Two Turtles seen at the Log Jam and one observed while climbing onto a log. It was quite a slow and tricky process with a fall appearing imminent on several occasions so several photos were taken. Found a solitary Green Ringtail Possum at the Overhanging Bushes but not interested in communicating. Less usual was a Common Brushtail Possum showing typical red Tablelands colouration. High in the canopy of a moderately tall tree, he/she was was nonchalantly completing a face wash as the branches swayed alarmingly in the wind gusts. Like a sailor on the topmast yard in the days of sail! The family of Bush Stone-curlews were again in the paddock next to the Doctor House.
