[Man From Ironbark]

Fascinating info. It makes sense from the perspective of perpetuating the species, but at a high cost for the individual. A real life example of "dying in the saddle".

Indeed. Mind, they are well known to be in the area yet after around fifty years of being in that bit of bush, this was the first time ever that I'd seen one and it was like in my peripheral vision while I was about to take the log and rocks photo. it ran across the branch and popped down the hollow/ then it popped its head up and down a couple of times then stayed down. I was indeed lucky to have got one shot out of three that had the culprit iin it.

It was a good day out and many photos were taken with or in different shades of lighting, due to the fact that the site is a rocky valley/gully.

The track opens out a bit nearer the picnic site where you are allowed to use the fireproof barbecue and compost toilet. There is also a desnse thicket of Callitris natural regeneration before reaching the picnic area.
