Each night for the rest of the week we went for a drive. North, south, east and west, we covered each point of the compass. Heading out of Alice before sunset then driving down the road until we decided that there wasn’t much out, and we turned around. It was a shame that there wasn’t much out. The days had been hot but the nights were relatively cool. For whatever the reason, there wasn’t as much out as should have been. Even so, we did get to see quite a few cool things.
Stimpsons Python (Antaresia stimpsoni).
Me illegally interfering with a gecko (by picking it up).
Southern Spiney-tailed Gecko (Strophurus intermedius).
Marbled Velvet Gecko (Odura marmarata).
An angry Mulga Snake (Pseudechis australis) that I suprised (and suprised me) while walking down a dry river bed.
A House Mouse (Mus musculus domesticus) eating grass seed near Glen Helen.
Australian Owlet Nightjar (Aegotheles cristatus) that didn't want to get off the road.
Centralian Carpet Python (Morelia spilota bredli).
A fly on a tree.
Bynoes Gecko (Heteronotia binoei).
