Wednesday 30th October 2019. 1330 – 1435

No rain. Overcast with sunny periods. Very light breeze. Track dry

After some consideration Thomas elected to come and was rewarded by pats and admiration on two occasions! We checked out the Allumbah Pocket Possum who was still there but more reclusive than ever. A few yards on while crossing Lloyd’s suspension bridge spotted a Lumholtz’s Tree Kangaroo in the large tree forming the horizon on the left bank. Soon had to upgrade this sighting to 2 and it was not until examining the image on the computer that I discovered that we had in fact been watching 3 Tree Roos! This sighting was shared by a group from an Historic Vehicles group who had been enjoying a picnic on The Other Side.
Saw a Saw-shelled Turtle on the rocks near the Memorial Bench with another half dozen at the Log Jam. An Eastern Water Dragons was on the other side of the track with another in an isolated group of trees and rocks in the paddock opposite Platypus Bend. Once again not a single Platypus was seen and no Green Ringtail Possums today. A Laughing Kookaburra nearly took my head off before landing on a branch just in front of me. Looked quite fluffy and I suspect a juvenile still working on his pilots licence. Met a couple with 2 boys on holiday from Perth and directed them towards my sightings today. The boys advised me that Dad was very keen to see a Tree Kangaroo so I hope that they were in luck!
