Went for a bush walk with the kids today to see what we could see.
Appart from the usual couple of EWD we came across a freshly killed Ramphotyphlops Nigrescens (Blackish Blind Snake). There were lots of Mountain Bike activity in the area and I assume it just got in the way 
Also several dead large yabbies including this monster (guess somthing got in the water from all this rain we have been having.
All in all it was a great way to spend the afternoon - shame they were all dead though. |
