How ninja is that Keelback? I need some serious zoom to try and find it.

 

[Mitella]

very cool, love the velvet and where is the keelback?

 

[cheekabee]

Awesome shots man, I cant see the keelback lol

 

[Eamon]

Nice pics, I can't find the keelback lol

 

[Fang101]

I can not see the Keelback either in the picture, just know it’s there somewhere under the mud. We didn't even realise when it moved a couple of feet away from that spot afterwards.


This is when it briefly stuck its head up, where it then quickly headed off into the water

Yep, master ninja Keelback!

Wish I could've gone - I have to work on weekends now. Looks like it was awesome.

Hmmmm might have to join the CYHS when I move to Cairns. I've never seen a keelback in the flesh. :cry:

look like it was a good trip though.

 

[Renenet]

Yes, RedFox, you must!

I haven't seen the legendary keelback yet either.
