Waking the Barr Mountain track


 I took Liam and Malte up to Border Ranges National Park just after Xmas to walk the newly re-opened Barr Mountain track, which had been closed for much of the year following the savage battering the region received by the cyclone-like storm that hit on Australia Day. 
 It was lovely to be surounded, well immered in, really, the bright greens of sub-tropical rainforest. We were lucky to hear about four or five cat birds wailing to each other.
 Liam and Malte at the lookout.
 I was hoping we'd find a few snakes sunning themselves on the sunlit floor of the rainforest where there were breaks in the canopy, but alas, this was not to be. However, we did see a number of these Murray's skinks, basking on logs and they were quite willing to be photographed.
