Night time exploring

Tonight we braved the cold and went out in search of a Masked Owl. We knew the spot where we had identified the owl before, at the end of Lysaght Road, Wedderburn near the old archery fields.

Alas there where no owls tonight, instead we heard some noises on the ground keeping pace ahead of us off the side of the fire trail. We followed along for about 100 metres and then we lost it. After a little while Stephen spotted three glowing eyes with his torch. What is it? On closer inspection it was a Koala and its joey in the crook of a tree. We think it had made its escape upwards from us. 

Update: This is the southern most recorded breeding koala (Campbelltown records).

Back to civilisation

Rumours abound that snow fell across the mountains last night. So off we go in search of adventure. Heading up from Goulburn to Taralga we first hit snow at about 850m elevation, this is looking positive. The snow gets thicker and thicker, the road is covered and by the time we hit 900 metres it is a winter wonderland. No one is around and we have the forest to ourselves. A wonderful day exploring.
