Central Vic - Winter

[PythonOwner25]

Victoria has had clear sunny skies for the past week, and although freezing cold, I decided to organise a day of winter herping with a few mates to see what we could find. It was an early start, dark skys and between 0-1 degrees. Ice was everywhere and it took a while clearing the ice from the car windows! We headed north towards areas of central Victoria. Upon driving around for a while and searching for hours, we came up with some interesting finds!

Enjoy the photos.

I said "Central" not North East! :facepalm:

The Aprasia gives away the location to at least one place you visited. Did you get the bibroni at the same place? i have found them lower down the hill myself and a mate has found them there as well so the population there must be pretty good.

Cheers Jordan! I took over 30 shots of this one gecko but they all turned out crap because the lighting was bad. This was the best one.

True, Lighting can be very tricky. But that one did turn out good I reckon.

Yeah thanks, just bought myself a propper flash setup so that will be good!
