User's notes
First record in the Yarramundi Grasslands since 2005. Grasshopper was flightless and had trouble hopping through the litter of mainly exotic grass stems. So it was convenient to pick up and photograph. Enjoyed seeing the prominent cross on its back and bright yellow underside. Blue feet were not seen at the time but show in the photos.
