Fantastic photos, especially the group shot of them bathing in the creek. Thanks for uploading to Canberra Nature Map.

If possible, a best estimate (even if only a guess) would be preferred as an abundance, especially for this endangered species. 16-100 is quite a broad range and a more specific abundance quality of the record.

I am sure others have more of an idea of how many there are. I simply picked 16-100 as that was one of the choices. Please amend when you have good data numbers. Cheers.

ajc Could we use your photos to assist our campaign to save Callum Brae from the Crematorium development on the old zoo site (and hopefully add that site to the Park)
