Field Trip Report: Western Kimberley

[Bung-Eye]

nice photo's mate. How long were you out for?

Hix: The kimberley does include the high rainfall "sub humid" region on the coast. Turns out monjon aren't that uncommon, just in incredibly inaccessible places. The person who has seen more than anyone i know is the chopper pilot. He generally finds a nice spot to land and sits down and quietly does some paperwork.... the monjon come out and see him! If you are walking along the top of rock platforms you can easily flush them.
Narbaleks are much bigger and have a bushier tail and a black armpit. Small short eared rock wallabies can be mistaken for narbaleks. I'd recommend a trip to the Kimberley for anyone who wants to see some amazing country (You should get up there Hix!).

Bung: I was there for 2 weeks

'Coz from my recollections (and I don't have access to my books so can't confirm exact location) they aren't found in the Kimberleys, they're over on the West coast and some offshore islands.
