User's notes
Original site. No activity here since large event in Oct 2018. These are hatched eggs from previous season. Likely 2023. Significantly different to other egg laying sites in that it is on trunk of massive 14 m gum rather than sapling. Implications for nearby proposed development with mature eucalypts likely to be impacted. Very hard to find eggs until bark peels away revealing hidden breeding location.
