Little green tree frogs everywhere.
On the Jump Up (mesa) near Winton, the scientists have discovered 6 new "animals" including a parrot thought to be extinct, and a red-back spider the size of a saucer.
Cane toads.
Lots of things that bite, including hugely enormous flies at Mamu and meat ants at Augathella.
Kangaroos, wallabies, emus, koalas and even cows wandering on the roads in the Outback (no fences there).
And, of course, scrub (bush) turkeys.
I'm loving the heat (high 90sF, 36-37C) and the travel.

What is that thing on the post?An honest to god ant???????
It's a sculpture. But the ants are much bigger than regular ants. A hive of meat ants can eat an entire cow, leaving just the bones, in a couple of weeks.
