I've spent the last 4 months working on a cattle station up in the Kimberely, although I didn't do much herping, here's a few pics of what i stumbled across around the station or on the 8000km return trip.
Some of the more interesting things that weren't photographed included Black Whips, Stimsons Pythons, Black Headed Python, Sombre Whip Snake, Pygmy Mulga, Frilled Neck Lizards, plus the many Monitor, Skink and Gecko species. The Kimberely is an amazing place, thoroughly enjoyed my time up there and can't wait to get up there come October!

Start with a bit of scenery

Which was where we caught some of these things. It isn't a trip to the top end without catching a Barra!

I would like to tell you this was a live, but unfortunately it was dead on the road near Winton. Still exciting to see!

I wasn't being sarcastic! I think it's a great common name! It was first coined on this forum a few years back.

Oh right haha, cool name for a cool snake! I ran to the rescue when I herd "Brown snake!" screamed from the girls quarters, these Browns are the most variable snake I have ever come accross.

I've just cracked open the 1st of many beers for tonight, in a few 6 packs time I'll look over all my photo's listening to "By a Fire of Gidgee Coal" by Slim Dusty, and most probably cut my wrists.

Woa.. I'm so jealous, I'd love to go the territory. I am graduating as a vet next year, so I think my time for working on a station is gone, and I hate that as I would've loved to take a year off to do that. Maybe I can lad a job up there for a few years..
