7.5 mm of rain overnight and light rain intermittently throughout day. Thought rain had cleared but had started again before I got to Alumbah Pocket. Thomas not impressed and had to wrap poo bag around camera. Track surprisingly good with only a few puddles and easily avoided mud. In spite of this had successful walk.

Brushtail Possum returned to Mistletoe clump and python still in situ. Harbouring doubts as to whether it is Carpet Snake of Amethystine Python. What do you think? Multiple birds including Victoria’s Rifle Bird (female) which I saw in same location last year. Only one platypus in a small pool under bridge from which he emerged into the viewing Platform pool after about 10 minutes.

Python. Morelia sp in doubt.

Victoria’s Rifle Bird (female) – Ptiloris victoriae

Leaden Flycatcher – Myiagra rubecula (Ad. male)

Little Shrike-Thrush – Colluricincla megarhyncha

Platypus – Ornithorhynchus anatinus

Green Ringtail Possum – Pseudochirax archeri
