An echidna or a spiny anteater? If you say either or, you're absolutely correct! This little fellow was spotted near the Theodore weir and if you're lucky, you might spot one too. Echidnas aren't very fond of of extreme temperatures, so the best time to see them is early morning or late afternoon. Have you seen one lately? Post your photos here! 👇

Lake Murphy Conservation Park, a little piece of paradise in the Sandstone Wonders, is teaming with wildlife.

Waders and other migrating and native waterbirds busy themselves along the banks, while in the wooded parts you’ll find Koalas and on the plains, emus, grey and red necked wallabies grazing on the grasslands and resting in the shade.

Little has changed since explorer Dr Ludwig Leichhardt and his party passed through in 1844.

Take your time to enjoy the sights and sounds of wildlife and beauty of the undisturbed surroundings.
