The southern tablelands were good to me. The Calendar Game score jumped to 355. Time to move further north. It would be possible to hit 365 at Julatten with a day trip up Mount Lewis.
Photography in the rain forest is extremely hard. I’d show you photos of Eastern Whipbird if I could find the bird amongst the noise and a Musky Rat-Kangaroo loooking straight at me from two metres away if I could find it at all after upping the exposure in post. The little White-throated Treecreeper at least had the decency to move into a shaft of light.
So we arrived in Julatten and quickly began the top ten countdown. At number ten we have Yellow-spotted Honeyeater. At nine Metallic Starling. Eight is Brown-backed Honeyeater with the added bonus of a photograph of an adult carrying food to the nest.
But Mount Lewis is closed. That’s National Parks for you. They can just shut the gate. Remember, Robert, it’s only a game. I’m not obsessed. The game will take a little longer. I hope I don’t have to fly to Tasmania before new year! It’s so bloody cold down there.
