Wildlife around Broken River Mountain Retreat, QLD
The Sulphur Crested Cockatoo. A very noisy local inhabitant often to be seen and heard as they fly around the trees.
Blue-faced honeyeater (entomyzon cyanotis). A nectar feeder that can be found in many parts of eastern Australia. This one was keen on the callistemon tree right outside our cabin
A kookaburra sitting on the light fitting outside the entrance to the retreat
The locals call these things semi-snails and I haven't been able to find out anything more than that!
This was a challenge. The platypus live in a river at the bottom of a steep sided valley and only come out at dusk and dawn. Not much light and they are a lot smaller than I expected. Only about 30cm long at a guess.
