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.
