The second block of fieldwork is officially underway. Another 88 #cameratraps have been put out over the past few weeks. Ideally, they’ll help us better understand how the brush-tailed rock wallaby and other species have responded to the 2019-2020 wildfires.

New species of 'big prickly' gecko discovered on mountainous island 50 kilometres off Mackay coast

Leaf-tailed geckos are an "ancient group of Australian geckos", once widespread, but constrained as rain forest contracted across the country.
