We have very few sightings of this species and any sighting helps determine its distribution within the ACT and ecology
User's notes
Found on the side of Cascades Trail in Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve (GPS marker approximate only). Could not see its burrow nearby. I suspect the recent heavy rains have coaxed it to the surface as the leaf litter was still quite damp. Seemed to be in decent health. I was very happy to find it!
