So I thought I'd post a thread sharing some of my photo's from this years sightings. I've been able to find a whole heap of new species for me in my local area, a rather broad definition of the word 'local' too. I will start with reptiles from the newcastle-central coast vicinity...

Hi all,
Its been a while since i have put a post up, so I will try and put everything from the year in one
big post. There will be a few areas of Australia covered. I am still working in Mount Isa in
North-west Queensland, however I am now living in Brisbane. This change has given me a...
Just a few recent shots from 2013 before 2014 starts.
Early this year I went to the mallee with Nick (richoman on this site), matt(python_owner) and a few other guys who aren't on this site (steve and dan).

Hey all.
I flew up to NSW last week for some herping around the Hunter Valley with a few mates.
After getting off the plane, we went for a poke around some spots in Newcastle.
First finds were a young Marsh Snake and She-oak Skink.

Coastal NSW, some common fauna and some flood oddities.
So the past few months have been pretty hectic. Lots of herping, a herping conference, more herping,... more herping. Somehow I've ended up with a few photos from various trips I haven't put up yet and I decided to do all the trips here...
I spent the last couple nights doing a bit of frogging in my local area, haven't found much it's been quite dry and no real reptile activity on the road yet. Thought I would post some pictures of the frogs that have started calling.

I was fortunate enough to receive an invite to the exclusive Hobbiton Herpers.
this was to be my first night time foray...have done plenty of night MTB'ing so the dark was not an issue.
As a complete newbie I think I only spotted one or 2 of the extremely common Underwoodisauris Milli. Part of...
I went out froggin with a few people tonight. My first time out photographing frogs so i was hoping for lots of species..but unfortunately the cold weather kept numbers down. Did get three quite different ones though so it was a good night anyhow. After foraying in my first frog photo session...
I found a few of these in the garden yesterday, can anybody put a more specific title to them than Green frog? None of the pictures I've looked at are quite the same. I'm fairly certain these are very young.

Dharawal is a great place for frogs. I visited the park a number of time between late August and November and saw a variety of frogs. I believe that there are many others present that I did not encounter. Please feel free to offer corrections if my identifications are not accurate.

GDAY,
Myself and a group of dedicated herpers including Arthur White and Nephrurus (from this site) went to Smiths Lake near Seal Rocks with the Frog and Tadpole Study Group to look for frogs aswell as reptiles mammals and birds and all other creatures alike. The list is as follows:

Last saturday night I did the exact opposite of normal folk, I headed away from population centres and went herping. I'd been planning to do this for a few days, and although the day started well (hot and fairly humid) it suddenly got cold as a cool change moved through. Due to the cool temps...
