We will watch the plentiful Western grey kangaroos before moving the cars over to Craigie Bushland (Google Maps Location) which is encompassed by a predator proof fence.

We will move cars to

Craigie Bushland is found just off Whitfords Ave, Craigie behind the Craigie Leisure Centre and managed by the City of Joondalup.

The reserve encompasses 56ha, of which 42ha has a predator free fence. The fence was put up in 2010 and 3 years later 43 Quenda (Isoodon fusciventer) were reintroduced to the reserve.  We will walk on mostly level gravel tracks by night for around an hour.

 

See my blog of one of my previous visits – Ry’s blog

We should see plenty of wolf spiders, other night time critters and hopefully Quenda & Brush tailed possums.  I will have a thermal camera and bat detector as well.
