North Queensland 2020-21

Hello folks,

This is a trip report from a recent visit to tropical north Queensland, Australia. A great mammal destination. Included 12 days/11 nights in Cairns, the Daintree, Atherton Tablelands and a quick visit to Chillagoe caves. Highlights included TWO species of tree-kangaroo (??!!), all of the endemic ringtail possums, Yellow-bellied gliders and a few bats for good measure. All up 31 positively identified malls and a few microbats hopefully to be sorted out from photos (hopefully). See pdf for full report.

Cheers

Brett

    Hi Brett,

    Thanks for your report, it is great. It is also very timely as I am about to spend a couple of weeks there myself early next month. You offered to send copies of your reports for other taxa and I would love to read them. They can be sent to:

    Again, many thanks.

    Cheers, Michael

    Hopefully in summer 2022 I will be visiting Cairns for the first time, for a well-placed and timed conference. I’d also love to see your information on the birds and herps, as I usually try to wrack up as many of those other critters as possible

    My email is morgan.churchill@gmail.com

    Many thanks
