| Our next animal to be tracked caused us a great deal of pain. The VHF signal was bouncing all over the surrounding rock escarpments and finding this guy would be difficult. Alicia waved the magic wand and came up trumps on the location. However were not going to see this one.
Not until after climbing up and down ridiculous terrain that had us all exhausted and covered in farmers friends and blackberry scars!
The find was fantastic. A suspected congregation mating area. A serious of burrows under the sandstone. Many containing animal fur reminents and scratch marks.
We figure this as an untagged specimen scuttled away up a nearby tree. We did not capture this animal as the objective of this trip was just tracking (the real reason, we forgot the tagging equipment forehead slap for someone).
This is now a place of interest for us for future investigations!
