Hey Guys, haven’t posted here for a while so thought I'd share some photos I've taken since I've been in NQLD recently.
So first up is a wallaby, found between Mareeba and Cairns.

Next is a gravid Frilled necked dragon that decided to climb my leg after feeling threatened.

Went out to the Barron Falls and Mona Mona this weekend looking for a cassowary, it was very dry and unsuccessful.

These photos are from the Cape York Herpetological Society’s field trip in the Mareeba Wetlands, where we found 1x BHP, 3x Water pythons, 2x keelbacks and several different species of frogs etc.

After some rain the Barron Falls filled up again, so went there for a while to admire the view, then walked some nearby tracks looking for fauna, but instead found two massive Golden Penda trees.

These frogs are pretty cool, saw heaps of them (each slightly different in contrast of colour) during the day amongst the boulders.

Another species from last night, a “Magnificent Brood Frog” which are annoying for photographing as they won’t stop crawling/jumping. Heard/saw about a dozen of these.

Hope everyone’s enjoyed the photos!
 
Way to make a mission beach boy stuck in the city miss home on a sunday night.

nice pics
 
Good stuff Kieran! You found some beaut critters and took some great shots there. I particularly like the close-ups, especially of the frogs and I'm impressed that you can ID tadpoles. 8)
 
I reckon you may have mis-ID'd your microbelos. I could be wrong but it doesn't look like a microbelos to me, the habitat around davies creek is wrong for microbelos.
