User's notes

Flatworm about 10-15mm under small log. I gently lifted up this flatworm and it was very pale on the underside, creamy white or very pale yellow and contrasting strongly with the upper surface of the animal. Looks like a brown-speckled planarian but seems to have more stripes than the one I sighted at Swamp Creek. This one was perhaps 100m or so from the riparian zone of Ginninderra Creek.
