Yes there were no bees remaining. And what caught my notice in the first place were Noisy Miners present inside the freshly cut trunk. Suddenly the bees would have become very vulnerable. Or would they have been removed somehow before the tree was removed, site of removal obvious just near the trunk photographed. I was fascinated though by how intact and pristine the honeycomb remained. A very strong structure.

Hi John. Apols for the delayed response. Just trying to pick up where I left off with posting of my sightings for Budjan Galindji. Point taken as per Aka Maria's comment for my other Crinia sighting on the same date.
Crinia signifera

Incredible - and that, for some reason, it chose to travel in front of the camera! Usually I get lots of pictures of tails, feet or beaks, as animals duck behind or to the side. So lucky!
