So first up is a wallaby, found between Mareeba and Cairns.

After some rain the Barron Falls filled up again, so went there for a while to admire the view, then walked some nearby tracks looking for fauna, but instead found two massive Golden Penda trees.

Another species from last night, a “Magnificent Brood Frog” which are annoying for photographing as they won’t stop crawling/jumping. Heard/saw about a dozen of these.
