Macropod Diversity in the Canberra Nature Park - Mt Taylor

Last Thursday I found myself with a couple of hours to kill on the south side of town, and with most of the Canberra Nature Park closed for the kangaroo cull, I went to Mt Taylor for the first time in years.

Mt Taylor is the large hill south west of Woden, next to the Tuggeranong Parkway.

While there were plenty of Eastern Grey Kangaroos, it was pleasing to see the less common macropods there as well, particularly two pairs of Common Wallaroos, the least common of the 4 local species.

Climbing Mt Gulaga (Mt Dromedary)

I spent a few days recently at Narooma on the NSW south coast. One day I decided to climb the highest mountain in the area, Mt Gulaga (aka Mt Dromedary). It is about 800m high, covered in forest, mostly wet eucalypt but also patches of rainforest.
