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).
