On the 17th & 18th of November i visited the Royal National Park we court the ferry over to Bundeena were we walked the streets until we got to the start of are walk, it was a warmish day but with a very strong wind, which was making it really hard to walk. We started walking along the Coast Walk, We found a Small Eyed Snake shed. We saw 3 Cunningham Skinks Egernia cunninghami, 2 were babies and one adult. only got pictures of 1 of the 2 babies and the adult
And also found 2 White's Skinks Egernia whitii, at the start of are walk.
There all the reptiles we found until we got to Wattamolla, we found a Yellow Faced Whip Snake Demansia psammophis at Wattamola didn't get picture by the time i got the camera ready the snake was allready gone. After this we kept walking until i found a Jacky Dragon Amphibolurus muricatus, this was easily the tamest dragon i have every encounted in the wild i got so close to it i could have virtually started to pat it on the back of the head.
Straight after the Jacky Dragon we found a Heath Monitor Varanus rosenbergi, it just layed on the rock like the Jacky did.
We walked until we got to are campsite which was at North Era, we also saw the usual Eastern Water Dragons, Eastern Water Skinks and Copper- Tailed Skinks didn't get pictures of them, We set Camp up it wasen't the best off nights was pritty cold, so i decide to just get some good sleep ready for the next day.
Woke up in the morning and started walking at 8:00am, it was a very nice day and are destination to reach was Otford Station which was around 6km from are campsite. We walked about to 9:30am were i spotted a Diamond Python Morelia spilota, which was sitting on a tree branch in long grass, It was a very nice specimen.
We got to Otford Station, there all the herps i found at the Royal it is a great walk, i will be going there again. From Bundeena to Otford is a 26km walk.
Thanks Tim.
