Auburn River NP

Small national park. Still dry & hot this time year.
Rockhoppers delight. :wink:

Heavy hum of clumsy flying beatles at dusk, sporadic howling dingoes through the night.

Tadpoles swimming in cool pools, froglets hopping on land, rock scurrying rainbow skinks & submerged turtles.

Swollen bottle trees, dry knee high grasses rocks hidden within.

Wow, those Dragon Eggs look amazing. Sometimes these little NPs can be very interesting places. Thank you.

Thanks Michael_p...I barely scratched the surface.
Would be great to see in full flood but I don't think that'll happen this season.
