Thomas feeling better and keen to come on Patrol. Cashed in with 3 sessions of patting from visitors. Well concealed Brushtail Possum in mistletoe clump at Allumbah Pocket. Poor photograph as face could not be seen. Only one Eastern Water Dragon behind Memorial Bench but two female Platypus feeding withing a few metres of each other at Platypus Bend. Watched for several minutes in company with a group of overseas visitors. One decided to roll on a mud bank exposing underside of her bill. Nothing to see at the Log Jam but a large Turtle swimming at Picnic Peninsula and another in shallow water in front of Viewing Platform. A few distant Bush Stone-curlews could be seen in the paddock behind the Car Park, along with a couple of Magpie Geese and Masked Lapwings.
