Well over the past few months I've been doing a fair bit of herping over lots of NSW and taken a fair few photos. I thought I'd culminate it all into one thread as it makes it a nice larger thread. Lots of the stuff I saw I didn't photograph being time sensitive and it being stuff I had seen or...

G'day All,
I recently went on a brief holiday to Northern NSW (near grafton). I couldn't help myself, so some herping was done.
We did a quick trip to Mt Warning and found these two species (new ones to me).
Assa darlingtoni, the pouched frog. The adults can happily fit onto a 5c...
G'day all,
Not exactly sure where to post this, but this forum seemed like an appropriate one.
