I finally sorted some computer issues and can start putting up photos!!
I spent last week down in central Queensland with work looking at dingoes, unfortunately it rained almost the entire time, ruining much of our efforts and the trip had to be cut short by a week. Hopefully if I'm organised I'll be back down there in November to finish what we started. Anyway, terrible weather aside we got a reasonable number of herps. I'll include some photos here that turned our reasonably. I have photos of other species but they are terrible, or not very exciting animals (or both)
Our study site was quite nice, I'm sure you'll agree
My first reptile and a new species for me, broad banded sandswimmer
as soon as the sun rose eastern bearded dragons became common
eastern striped skinks were sleeping under debris
Eastern long necked turtles where in any puddle you looked in
thick tailed gecko
lerista mulleri (or it was previously i havent looked up if it has a new name)
and a lizard that until now never impressed me for beauty, a shingleback
With the rain came the frogs
emerald spotted frog
scarlet sided pobblebonk frog
green tree frogs
I'm not 100% on this frog (thoughts appreciated, Doing an Msc on amphibians doesnt help with frogs i dont study)
on the way home we dropped by Carnarvon gorge, an amazing place an definately worth a visit, i was only there about 5 hours you could spend 5 days there no worries!
water skinks
southern spotted velvet geckoes
feather tailed gliders
pretty faced wallabies
and of course the reason we dropped by, rough throated leaf tailed geckoes
hopefully I'll be back later in the year and will be able to get some more shots for your viewing pleasure.
Cheers
