We had an incredible walk on Raymond Island and the Gippsland Lakes Reserve. It’s famous for Koalas and it’s justified fame. There were lots! (Below is a gallery from our walk. Click on an image to enlarge and scroll through the pictures.)
The were both in the wilderness area as well as in the neighborhood trees. We didn’t have to go far to see them. We even got to see a couple of Koala babies.
We were also treated to a nice view of a couple of baby tawny frogmouths.
The adult tawny frogmouths are so hard to see with almost perfect camouflage for hiding in eucalyptus trees (called gum trees here). See?…
With a little better angle, better lighting and the help of Photoshop, here he is with his camouflage exposed…
It was a very, very good day.
Where we are…
Here’s an interactive Google map showing where we are moored and where we walked, along with Paynesville just across from Raymond Island.
