Animals on tour

Eastern Grey Kangaroo

Southern Scaly Foot (actually a legless lizard)

Obviously my main objective on the tour was to see the wildlife and here are some of the many creatures we encountered. Highlights included a night spotlighting trip where we found a koala and there were hundreds of kangaroos and wallabies everywhere including brush-tailed rock wallabies. We also came across a pair of displaying lyrebirds, a big lace monitor at Noosa and, of course, my new birds. We also found a load of wompoo fruit-doves in a patch of rainforest in Ravensbourne NP which is not a new bird for me but you have to love your ridiculously-named pigeons!

Eastern Rosella

Yellow-faced Honeyeater

The trip got off to a great start with a flame robin #341 on our very first walk. This was followed up the very next day by the grey currawong #342 and the little raven #343. However, I then had to wait until Queensland to pick up the yellow-tufted honeyeater #344 which completed my scoring.

Some sort of well-camouflaged gecko

Eastern Water Dragon

Some creatures are not so welcome like this leech!
