On the weekend I went to Bringalily State Forest (about 350 kms west of Brisbane) for a spot of wildlife watching.

Alecia and I went snake hunting over the weekend. We left Brisbane on Friday and headed out to Oakey. I was hoping to find some spotted black snakes, but was unsuccessful. We set up camp in Oakey, and then headed down to Oakey creek to have a poke around.
