We used to go herping about halfway up um...cripes I can't think of the name of the road...Macquarie Pass?- the one out the back of albion park that goes up to Robbo.

Theres some great waterholes and stuff up there- we saw lots of reptiles. (And other wildlife). Had trippy experience when we were there once. We got separated from our mates, and ended up climbing about a km through bush (straight up!) saw this pond full of water, and we were going to walk through it (I had avoided walking through water till that point, but to go around the pond was a nasty cliff climb) It was about 2 feet deep. I threw in a rock...and the pond went BLACK. It was FULL of leeches! There were literally BILLIONS of them. When the water went black I mean it- you couldn't see the bottom! I screamed (I hate leeches) and was never so grateful to NOT have stepped in without tossing a rock in first!

Sorry for the hijack- its just a warning to people who walk through bush ponds. LOL!

[Khukuri]

Suburban Adelaide here, and:
Brown snakes
Bluetongues
Shinglebacks
Whatever gecko lives in letterboxes and tries to bite you when you get the mail...
and a king brown, living in a friends' shed. That one was a bit strange, it apparently confused the snakecatcher too.

 

[AntaresiaLady]
