My husband had a business trip to Katherine in Feb this year, so we decided to turn it into a bit of a holiday and spend some time in Litchfield NP.
But it rained like I have never before experienced, and only made it into the national park twice (and the second time we ended up soaking wet!)
But we still managed to see a few herps (though the only snakes we saw were a DOR gwarda and olive python)
Me holding "Wally" the bearded dragon at Crocasaurus Cove
Holding "Jellybean" the northern blue tongue
And "Squeeze" the childrens python
Very cute
This little lorikeet flew out of a tree and on to the chair I was sitting on at our motel in Katherine. I thought "gosh the wildlife here s friendly", until one of the staff there started talking to "Gromit", who turned out to be the companion of a maltese x named "Wallace", who belonged to the manager of the hotel
Katherine Gorge in flood. Fresh water croc
A skink at Katherine Gorge. ID anyone?
Another ? skink at the Gorge
And another ???
Then it started sweeping down
And that continued for the next week
A gecko eating a moth, possibly Gehya australis
We ended up with up to 4 of these in our bathroom every morning while staying at Batchelor, often covered in cobwebs (from coming down through the ceiling vent), which I very gently removed before releasing them in the bush.
Can anyone identify this gecko?
Asian House Gecko
A big green tree frog in the rain at the Batchelor Butterfly farm, where we stayed
2 of them...
Getting it on
.......
Possibly a desert tree frog
Another frog I couldnt identify
Not the best shot I know, but I saw heaps of these yet every time we stopped the car they disapeared before I could even get out.
So this was the best I could do, before he shot up the tree.
Was suprised how bright orange this guy was
These were every where in Katherine
With a little croc at Crocadylus park (was disappointed that the only snakes they had @ Crocadylus were boa's and corn snakes)
Hawksbill turtles @ Crocadylus
