User's notes
Could only find this track. Did the squish test - very coconutty. There was a nearby dead tree (pic 5) with a trail of hardened byre, but I could not locate any other active spots nearby. This trail is similar to one at Mugga across a path there, and several metres from the nearest evidence of the ants in trees or dead wood.
