We have met up with a number of interesting creatures since moving into our Brisbane pad in Dec 2004 and we thought it might be interesting to highlight some beasties. Some are lovely to chat to like our teenage visitor in April 2014, and some take a little getting used to like this large chap. Alas, he was found dead 2 days later on our neighbour's drive. Stephen was a bit concerned that he had eaten a cane toad, but a quick field autopsy found that dinner was actually a young ring tail possum. Cause of death unknown.
