After having been turned back the night before by a flooded road, my friend Connor and I tried our second attempt to enter a section of Mapleton Falls National Park – with success. Conditions were perfect – perhaps a little too perfect as several large parts of the walking track were still covered in water. Nonetheless we still found what I came looking for, Litoria chloris<\/i> (Southern Orange-eyed Treefrogs). These frogs are very cool creatures and hence very photogenic. I would have liked to have found a L. brevipalmata<\/i> (Green-Thighed Frog) since conditions appeared perfect for them, but with no luck. Mixophyes fasciolatus<\/i> (Great Barred Frogs) were out in full force, more so than last time.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately we only found one M. iteratus<\/i> (Giant Barred Frog), an endangered species. But that’s not to say he was the only one in the entire national park.<\/p>\n

Then we came across three calling Litoria chloris<\/i> (Southern Orange-eyed Treefrogs).<\/p>\n

Ex-tropical cyclone ‘Oswald’ which brought flooding rains and gale-force winds to many parts of the Queensland coast and inland is now long gone. For the most part, where I live, it’s been more of a blessing than not (despite losing electricity for a day or so).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
