It is usually hard to interpret scratches left on the bark of eucalypts. Different species can leave behind similar markings as they scramble up a tree (eg. possum, goanna, gliders). So I took the opportunity to observe these scratches closely because some were fresh and there was a sleeping doombearpee (koala) about 10m above me. I think the tree is E. tereticornis growing next to Bummeria (Brown Lake), Minjerribah (Stradbroke Island).

Crocodiles? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within Moreton Bay?

Boxing Day walk on North Stradbroke Island. Came across this Kangaroo with a Joey in her pouch.
