Arrived at Allumbah Pocket this morning and waved to a Patrol follower who was getting her children organised in the car. Took a quick look into the trees on the right side of entrance and asked her if she realised that she had parked underneath a Tree Kangaroo!
The regular Lumholtz’s Tree-kangaroo was in the usual spot and we checked her out together and took some photos. Dale told me that she had also seen a Green Ringtail Possum along the walk.
After that bit of excitement went on to Snodgrass’s Pool where an Eastern Water Dragon was showing off.
A lot of Cicada activity in the Grey Gums near Platypus bend and photographed a group of mixed species.
Still not much of the Log Jam above water but two juvenile Saw-shelled Turtles were making good use of the space available. Later, on the computer, I found that one Turtle was a also providing a perch for a Dragon Fly!
While walking towards Platy’s Pool had a brief encounter with a Platypus and snatched a shot which turned out quite well.
At the Overhanging Bushes a Green Ringtail Possum was occupying a bush which I had not seen used in the past. It actually adjoins Bush No 3 and is not overhanging. Think I will have to number it 3.5. The Possum was well concealed and not very relaxed so a photo was only obtained with some difficulty.
The remainder of the Walk was uneventful until the Viewing Platform where an athletic Turtle had climbed to the top of a post.
At the Car Park the good old reliable Bush Stone-curlews were in their most regular spot.
