Awesome!! I have fond memories of being 5 with my mother in Tasmania, watching them in a creek.
Funny little animals. Great shots!

Hi Warren,

You did well to catch them! We've been up to that spot in the park at Eungella
at least a couple of times and though we have spotted one, it was impossible to
photograph in the fading dusk light. I would guess morning is probably a better bet.
Did you snap these in the morning of the evening (you are not allowed to say 'in the
middle of the day' as I would kick myself : )

Nice capture.
They're pretty shy critters.

Hi Warren,

Ahh, a case of the early bird! Or if one is lucky, just sleep in and go on a cloudy day.
Thanks!

Well done. They are shy critters, so they are rare to see let alone photograph.
