From the Figtree Creek colony, just stopped off for a snack in our trees, probably en route to Mt Archer National Park to eat Burdekin Plums. Yum.
The Green ringtail possum is a species of ringtail possum found only in northern australia.
It is nocturnal and sleeps curled into a ball on a branch through the day as this one was, until humans :-) disturbed it. The green possum eats only leaves and especially different species of fig. The only fruit it is known to eat are ripe figs.
It stayed on the branch at head height on the huge curtain fig tree at Yungaburra.
I pointed her out to a few tourists to give them a unique wildlife experience.
The little possum had a stretch and a scratch but my camera settings of 1000 iso at f6.3 1/20sec were too slow for any movement and resulted in some blurred shots. :-)

November 12th 2019 became the first day that NSW had declared a Catastrophic Bushfire warning for parts of NSW under a new scheme implemented in late 2018.
While the NSW mid north coast had been categorized as Extreme Fire Danger, the South Coast Sydney and Hunter Regions were declared as at a Catastrophic level.
High temperatures, low humidity, strong winds and a drought that has exceeded almost all before it were the reasons given for the classifications.
