The Australian Herpetological Society held a field trip at Smiths Lake ( near Forster) last weekend, 20 - 22nd Feb, in all 23 members attended, and I think all had a good time. We were very lucky with the weather as it had been poring rain and cold the week before. A number of different species were encounted during the weekend, here a few of the pics that I took.

lovely diamond!

Just your average bush variety, old looking, full of other little critters living off it, and even had some substantial wounds from something that didn't want to be eated. We found a much nicer one on the road, dead, but still twitching.
