I’m having a lovely time hanging out at Thomas Lagoon today (near Armidale, NSW). It’s field work for my next colouring book - all about the Upland Wetlands of the northern tablelands of NSW. This is a threatened ecosystem that provides habitat for an abundance of animal life and many plant species. Thanks to the folks at University of New England, Landcare, and the NSW Saving our Species program for funding this work, and understanding the importance of raising awareness for conservation.

Here’s a page of frogs captured in my nature journal tonight- make sure you view it with the sound turned up 🤩

We’ve converted our pool into a pond, and the frogs are loving it. Nine species recorded calling over the last few days!

Today I found this dead long-nosed potoroo on Binna Burra Road, where the road runs along the edge of Lamington National Park. This species is listed as Vulnerable to extinction in Queensland and nation-wide.
Please slow down when driving in bushland areas, especially at dawn, dusk and at night. It really can make a difference to the likelihood of wild animals, like this one, being hit by vehicles.

On a brighter note, local ranger Todd Brown tells me he's seen a few of these critters around the area lately. So let's hope the population is healthy, and many potoroos are enjoying the abundance of fungi, fruit and invertebrates that have appeared after the recent rains.
