Nick, Di and I visited a male Fat-tailed Dunnart at Julia Creek Visitor Centre - he was such a zippy, cute fellow!There are three dunnart species in the area but this one is more sociable than the others and therefore the best choice for display.
The Julia Creek variety is quite aggressive, even with each other!
I chatted with the presenter for a little while and learned that the dunnart on display was bred in Grandchester, not all that far from home!
We did some grocery shopping after the talk and then spent most of the day in the air-conditioned ambulance station, chatting with Di.
Nick and Vaughan went out in the evening to try their hand at fishing but only caught a cane toad! (Vaughan's green tree frog finds later in the night were far more appreciated, though we were glad not to see the one that resides in the loo)!
It was much later when Nick and I returned to the caravan park, detouring to see the water tower along the way. Nick returned to the Spacevan in the afternoon, to put up the awning. It had been a mission to get the pegs into the ground but he was eventually successful!
Day 6, Julia Creek
