i have a list of reptiles and amphibians found in a national park there, ill add that that park is close to half the islands size. when you do go, i remember there being scorpions and in certain places lots. but only if you looked for em. could you catch a few for me? when i went last i didnt know it was legal so i didnt get any, but you cant collect invertebrates from national parks for obvious reasons. jsut thought id ask you lol

looking for the list now

well hopefully youll have time to look around abit, i know the place i was at when you actually crossed the border out of a park on the driveway down.

 

[gecko-mad]

do you actuually have your trip planned and somewhere booked? i can find the name of the place i was at. its brilliant and there should be some joeys around this time of year and they come right up and eat from your hand, and at night when eating out side wallabies run under you to get to the fresh grass on our side of the fence, lol

we stayed here: http://www.takeabreak.com.au/StokesBay/KangarooIsland/LathamiLodge.htm
