Sunday 2nd February 2020. 1030 – 1130

1.5 mm rain overnight. Patchy cloud cover with brief periods of watery sunshine. Light drizzle at times. Bo breeze. Track damp but muddy puddles drying up and much less slippery.

Thomas joined me again this morning but we had no sightings along Bunya Street or at Allumbah Pocket.
A large male Eastern Water Dragon was showing off on the rocks opposite the Memorial Bench and could also be seen from the side.
White Spot the Green Ringtail Possum was in her alternative regular spot opposite Snodgrass’s Pool and was sharing the tree not only with her Joey but also with another GRP, probably a male.
Nothing then until the Log Jam which is emerging from the water but the only occupant was a tiny Saw-shelled Turtle.
At Picnic Peninsula met an interested couple from New Hampshire, USA who admired Thomas and in return were directed how to find the Possums and Dragon.
No Platypus were seen today.
At The Narrows met four young people from Cairns who were delighted to meet Thomas and one of the girls decided on the spot that she needed a Dachshund! They too were given directions.
An Eastern Water Skink was on the rock under the Highway Bridge.
In front of the Viewing Platform the Rufous shrike Thrush was sitting on the nest. The Bush Stone-curlews were having a Sunday morning lie in on the grass near Nick’s Camping Area.
