This weekend we were up at Elanda Point, in the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park. Alecia’s studying the social behaviour of a mob of eastern grey kangaroos up there. Apart from all the roos, we saw a whole bunch of other cool stuff.
This coastal carpet snake (Morelia spilota mcdowelli) remained under the tin roof of the toilet block for a week or two. It might have been seeking warmth after feeding.
We found this Eastern small-eyed snake (Cryptophis nigrescens) while out spotlighting one night.

Great photos. How about the mosquitoes, heard it is loaded with them there.
Hi Judy,
There was one night where we got a few bites, but apart from that there weren’t too many there.
