Alecia and I spent 24 hours up at the Lamington Plateau with some (human) friends of ours, looking for some (animal) friends of ours.
Rough-scaled snake (Tropidechis carinatus). He’s hanging around a frog pond waiting for dinner.

Yo stewart, I’ve been looking at all your pics and they are pretty good… I’m a bit jealous of all the travelling you’ve done and all the wildlife you’ve seen – where do you get all the time and money needed for those sort of trips??? HEY??? I want to go on more trips around australia and around the world but sadly i don’t have all that much money…
Anyways i was just admiring how good you are at identifying species and then i noticed that your eastern rosella looks very much like a crimson rosella – get your birds right you reptile nut!
Anyways it’s good to see what you’ve been up to! Keep up the good work.
Hi Rebecca,
Just ‘pretty good’? Thanks, I guess.
I think you’ll find the crimson rosella pic above is labelled correctly.

I’m amazed at your beautiful photos. They are great. Where were your adventures and travels to?
Hi Stewart,
Nice job!
I’ve done a couple of nights spotting in Lamington and the best I came up with was leaf-tails, pademelons and giant cranky possums!
Keep up the good work!
