I assisted the National Parks association conduct a biodiversity survey of the Breelong National Park. At the time the park was dry and had been for a long time but we still managed to turn up some neat critters.

Oedura monilis

Northern Banjo Frog (Pobblebonk)

Lerista punctatovittata

Bynoe's Gecko, these guys were locally common, from juvanile through to adult, many had regen tails

Ctenotus allotropis

Eastern Stone Gecko

Also saw Shinglebacks, and Litoria latopalmata (Broad Palmed Frogs)

Nice piccies. Did you see any M/D pythons or Lace monitors?

Nice shot of the terraereginae. I'd love to photograph O. monolis one day.

hey, yeah saw a few lacies but lacked out on any snakes the lacies at the camping area where we were camped were pretty quiet

Hey there froggyboy86, yeah it was the first time I had seen either species so i was pretty excited about both, funny thing was we found a juvie O. monilis before and it took several hours to ascertain what it was whereas if we had found the adult first it would have been much easier!

Yay Simon your Breelong pics.

It would have been nice to go back out there and see if all the rain we have had has brought more critters out.

Here are a couple more pics, nothing special
