Location
In the ironically named sunshine coast, surrounded
Did my Easter trip a bit early this year, and for only a few days. I took the trouble and strife with me and the camera had decided to ignore the flash which has greatly cut down on both the quality and quantity of the photos, for which I apologise. The cussing jar is now overflowing. The camera is 8 years old which, in digital camera terms, makes it a fossil. Time to upgrade I think. The carpet and Bandy-Bandy where found on the Sunshine Coast the night before

Target species 1 --Cunninghams Skink - New England morph
The second target species, a leaf-tail gecko- was no where to be found, despite every man+dog who goes up here being able to find one.
Did see a huge and beautiful RBBS but had the wrong lenses on

Looks like you had a good time despite the camera problems.

Time to upgrade I think
It is not a bad time. The price of dSLRs has dropped so much in the last few years. Do you have a model in mind?

Regards,
David
 
Well done! The stuff with feathers are a double barred finch, a king parrot, and a kookaburra (but then you probably knew that!) ;D
I can never seem to find the leaf tailed geckos either!

I did but thanks. Diamond fire tails were supposed to frequent where the double-bars were but...

When I was a kid we had double-bars in a large aviary with heaps of cover. We never got the slightest hint that they were breeding, the young would just turn up one morning. Red brows did the same thing

Nice finds Mark, those leaf-tails down there are easy to find though ;)

That carpet looks to be a decent size!
 
awesome mate! looks like you had a good time. if i were going out there my number target species wold be the granite belt thick tail gecko. Would be awesome to find one. id like to take a trip out there. take a week off school and have a look whats out there.
 
Good stuff, shame about the lack of Leaf Taileds! Great to see the Cunninghams though isn't it, 1 of the few skinks I would waste space on my memory card for.
Good job spotting that Carpet under all those leaves!

Didn't need to spot it. I was told about it by a bush walker, near the toilets at the "hippy festival". I went to the location, found a heap of scruffy people playing percussion instruments. They all knew where the animal was and, seeing the camera, were happy to show me where the animal was. The 'Hippies" made no attempt was made to disturb the snake. I always like it when people don't yell "Shovel, Shovel" and "Think of the children".
