The Sun shall be blotted from the sky!

There was a bit of wildlife about, but mostly invertebrates.

Infi, look away NOW.

There are plenty of ground-dwelling ants, but some have figured a better way to beat the seasonal flooding: live in trees. So they build nests like this.



Meanwhile, the termites go above ground level, in their fortified bunkers. These can reach five or six feet in height.



This crittur came to visit my tent, but I was cool with that.



I was slightly less cool with this visit, though.



Aww, it's just a harmless little huntsman. And it's missing a leg.

Still, I got out the other side of the tent.

The vegetation is sometimes interesting.

Here are some fairly common Australian dry-climate type trees, with their light-coloured trunks and random branching.



In the wet forests, there are enormous creeper vines.
These are shiny because they're just above a popular boardwalk and pretty much everyone has a bit of a swing.



Slightly odder are these yaccas, or grass trees. We used to call these blackboys, but that's not the done thing, anymore.



And these are, I think, cycads. Perhaps Ali can confirm.
