Steve took Cal and I, together with his two kids, Sarah and Matt, up to Bruxner Park, a flora reserve literally 5 minutes from the centre of Coffs, for a bit of night spotting, last Tuesday evening. It was a very productive trip and within a couple of minutes of driving we had found this young carpet python...
followed a minute later by this baby brown tree snake....
a little later, we walked through the forest and found about half a dozen Giant Barred River Frogs, one of Australia's biggest frogs...
and this little beauty...not sure what it's common name is, its scientific name is Litoria barringtonensis...we also saw a small eyed snake, a red bellied black and a blind snake, 3 rather large tree funnel web spiders, a tusked frog, a bandicoot, a brush tailed possum and a boobook owl..now that is a productive night of spotting!
