Finally got round to finishing a report for my trip to Australia from last year – five weeks of encompassing a bit of Queensland, Tasmania, south & west Victoria, and southeastern South Australia. It’s a bit of a long one (probably overenthusiastic about some great places for mammals) but hopefully the site info will be of use.
cheers, Mike

THanks Mike – great report and brought back a lot of happy memories reading about places I haven’t thought about for years …. very glad to know the mammals are still there
