davlap Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) We spent a few days in Bunya Mountains area and saw some good wildlife. Best moment was what we think is a common tree snake swallowing a tree frog. We also saw a red belly black snake, a few goannas - one of which was up a tree being swooped by a carrawong.

We watched three ospreys from our balcony, one caught a fish and tucked in on the beach right in front of us, so we went down to watch up close 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davlap Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Hey - no fair - you guys live in a zoo !! I'm just a city slicker. Really excited with the first goanna, but after 3 or 4 you get used to it. Seriously though, its incredible really. Just a shame they all want to bite, sting or eat you !
